Their motivation? So that they can be in their best possible health to play the upcoming GTA6. The post, which was made in the Grand Theft Auto 6 subreddit, has attracted a lot of encouraging and supportive comments from fellow fans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"reddit-embed-bq\" style=\"height:316px\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GTA6\/comments\/1829qgf\/gta_6_anticipation_has_got_me_to_quit_smoking\/\">GTA 6 anticipation has got me to quit smoking<\/a><br> by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/RoeJoganLife\/\">u\/RoeJoganLife<\/a> in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GTA6\/\">GTA6<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.reddit.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"UTF-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">GTA6 is the latest numbered title in Rockstar\u2019s popular Grand Theft Auto series. Fan anticipation has been building since November 8, when Rockstar announced their plans to release an initial trailer in December. Although the title is referred to the as the \u2018next Grand Theft Auto game\u2019 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockstargames.com\/newswire\/article\/4kok877a13aa32\/a-message-from-rockstar-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">official announcements<\/a>, fans have already taken to calling it GTA6.&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the GTA6 subreddit, user RoeJoganLife shared a post explaining how their enthusiasm for the upcoming title had made them decide to quit smoking. In the post, the heavy smoker explained how they want to make sure that they are in good health so that they can fully enjoy the series\u2019 latest offering. In response, they received an outpouring of support from the GTA Reddit community, with over 1.5K upvotes and over 100 positive comments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-600x338.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-380x214.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/20231127-23380-002-747x420.jpeg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In his follow-ups to the comments, RoeJoganLife <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GTA6\/comments\/1829qgf\/comment\/kalwxo5\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">thanked everyone<\/a> for the encouragement, adding that \u2018It\u2019s day 11 now, and I\u2019m going to walk the dog with a coffee, a smile on my face, and no cigarette in sight.\u2019 &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not the first time that hype for GTA6 has inspired fans to make difficult decisions. For example, in 2019, the YouTube channel 10HoursMovies <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/articles\/newsjp\/20191022-104636\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> that they would continuously drive around the map in GTA5 until GTA6 was released. The channel&#8217;s attempt seems to have already ended as the video links are no longer viewable. However, it has since inspired other users to undertake the challenge to varying degrees, such as YouTuber <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1VON4wQGaMg?si=ATkxcLtxSPMtZRTl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nickos IV<\/a>. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many users around the world who take on a variety of challenges in the run up to a game\u2019s release, it is rare to see someone giving something up for health reasons. We hope that RoeJoganLife will successfully quit smoking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first trailer for the new Grand Theft Auto game will premiere in early December.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
