May help a person smoke less?

I don't think so.
You would only smoke less when finally running out of papers without being informed before.

Yes, but I can't tell you in every detail what the owner of my local bar mixes into the beer to remind me that I should have another one.
And now you have reminded me to go and buy a fresh two pound roll of filament for the 3D printer after work.

Wait. 4D printer is coming out.

I already have one, if you take into account how long it needs to finish an object. More of a relative spacetime printer.

My car has a flat tyre warning.
I saw it one day and drove in to work wondering what the hell that light meant.
When I got in to work I read the manual, then I looked at the tyre and realised the significance of the light.
These sorts of things are only useful if you know what they mean.
No I am not going to read the whole of my car manual - I simply don't have the time.

The car has a flipping huge touch screen that relays performance, satnav, reversing camera and audio information.
They could create a welcome video that can be played on the screen to familiarise you with the car.

That feature would be better if the tire sensors were not first sensors to fail (and costs $180+ to replace).

One thing the mechanic told me when he was replacing the wheel was "Don't use the quick tyre inflation fix tool!" as it will fill the tyre with gunk and require the tyre sensor to be replaced.
So not only do I not get a spare tyre but if I use the kit that is meant to reinflate the tyre I also have to fork out a large quantity in dosh to replace the sensor too - that's a definite fail on the p[art of the manufacturer.

You call it a fail.
The manufacturer is pleased with people paying large sums of money for otherwise easily avoidable damages.

I am not sure it is easily avoidable as they don't supply you with a spare tyre as it helps to keep the road tax lower(the weight loss in the car keeps emissions down) and saves them the money in supplying you with a spare tyre.

Hopefully you'll never have to replace the damn sensor. It turns out to be some self-contained wifi thing that communicates with your car's computer. Mine broke, factory fresh they're like $600, not including the cost of getting the stupid computer to recognize the device.
Sometimes the cost of technology outweighs the simpler task of walking around the car every morning and visually inspecting the tires.
And what's worse, is now, whenever I get to 60 or 65 MPH, the stupid computer loses the connection for some reason and the low pressure indicator starts flashing then goes steadily on. So the end result? Money spent to ignore and idiot light. Who's the idiot, eh?

Exactly!
...and that's a huge bill!
I park my car every evening so that I have to walk around it looking at the tyres before I drive off.
The day the light came on, I had looked at the tyres beforehand - so the one positive side is that the gauge does detect a slow puncture.
The false positive on the light sounds like a real pain.

I remember seeing it from time to time at some stores. It gave me an impression that leaked ink from the register colored the paper. I was certainly wrong.

Simple Human[^] liners do something similar. When you're getting low in the pack there's a sticky note / tag on of the bags to remind to get some more. It's catchy.
