A desktop gnome with a rotating base. It also has an inbuilt camera that does simple face recognition (like newer cameras). When the mouth is distorted by a stick like shape the gnome counts that as a hit.
Based on the desired quitting program or smoking interval, the gnome tracks occurences of lighting
up. After a break of say 30 minutes, the gnome acknowledges your cig with a slow and slight movement towards you and then rotates back to its rest position e.g. staring out a window.
Start chain-smoking though, and the gnome rapidly rotates towards you every time you light up (red LED eyes optional).
Sold singly or for added effect in boxes of 6.

You can smoke at your desk? |

does gnome smoke? bad boy! |

Yeah... I was wondering about the smoking at the desk thing, too... I guess it could work for other annoying habits like chewing on pencils or blowing gum bubbles, though. |

You got a point. Not so useful for office days. |

Office uses, hmm, 'desk guardians' ? When away from your desk, they just eye bypassers suspiciously. |

[normzone] triggers "simple face recognition" by sticking tongue out at gnome, who then acknowledges me with a nod. |
