Smoker's Money

[Thermodolia]

I know my families medical history. I’d rather not take that risk.

It's actually a pretty small risk for a pretty major reward. If you get COPD from smoking one pack of cigarettes it's not a predisposition it's a voodoo cure.

I’m not saying I’d get COPD immediately after but it puts me at a higher risk. That coupled with my family medical history makes it too much risk for a small reward.

No thanks.

[Internationalist Bastard]

Fuck no
I still have my sugar addiction from the first time I quit

[Ifreann]

Fuck no
I still have my sugar addiction from the first time I quit

But this way you could have a sugar addiction and loads of money. You could import the finest Colombian sugar.

That is insane to me. Long term smoking would put you at a higher risk, one pack just won't do it in the same way you're not going to develop skin cancer from having once been exposed to sunlight. That's an absurdly tiny additional assumption of risk. Do you refuse X-Rays? Do you refuse to get in cars?

Nah man addiction fucked my life
Every siincr I quit drinking and smoking I went from being likely to die at 30 to 60, I ain’t fucking with that for some money

The problem is I doubt the average persons willpower to only smoke one a day

Not to mention, it’s hard to quit when you start. So even if you don’t get COPD after just one month, if you can’t quit, then you will get COPD.

[Des-Bal]

Have someone at an appointed place and time for one month give you a single cigarette.

And then you say fuck that and buy more
You don’t cheat addiction

It's hard to quit because you develop a physical dependence on nicotine and because using cigarettes is tied to all sorts of behaviors you do. If you're smoking one a day it would be ridiculous for that to happen.

Some people have mental illnesses that cause them to get addicted very easily

Have them keep you in a cell. You don't really need to "cheat" addiction you can just avoid developing it or failing that beat it.

If a single pack of cigarettes is enough to get you addicted I say again: voodoo curse.

Well then I’m proud of your willpower
Not all of us are blessed

Same here. If I were to start smoking, I wouldn’t be able to stop.

I don't think it's an issue of willpower, if someone's already addicted that's one thing because your body already has a programmed response and your mind already has a rolodex of associations but we're talking about the one cigarette a day non-smoker challenge. I can't imagine the daily intake of nicotine would be sufficient to create a physical dependence since for all but 30 minutes out of the day you're operating without the drug. There's no way to develop psychological associations because you're only doing one a day, all the "I can't drink coffee/sit in traffic/fight birds without a cigarette" can't happen.

[Malcon]

Hell, I'll do. It sounds fun!

Bah, valuing your life. That isn't very rock and roll.

[Pope Joan]

I smoked two packs a day, unfiltered, for nine years.

Herbert Tarreyton, Players, Half and Half (yes, the pipe tobacco people), Lucky Strike, English Ovals, Kools.

Unfiltered Kools are only for tobacco addicts; they are nasty.

But I promised that our son would never see me smoke, so on the day he was born I quit. 1974

It can be done

Actually I try to not go to the doctor if possible.

But it’s not going to be just one cigarette. It’s going to end up being more than that. That’s too high a risk for $2M

[The New California Republic]

Smoke the cigarettes but don't inhale. Sure, it doesn't completely stop the risk, but it significantly lessens the chances of addiction.

[Trollgaard]

...How is this a debate? Even if I wasn't a smoker I would do this!

I smoke about a pack a day anyway, so do what I already do and get 2 million? Yes, please!

Becomes 10 every day for a month as in op

You up for it?

Woudn't it be 2 packs a day instead of 10 packs?

I would do 2 packs a day for month.

Dang, your son is old enough to be my dad.

IM said you can’t do that.

[Trollgaard]

20-25 cigarettes, depending on the brand and country.

and people really can smoke an entire pack a day?

isn't that insane?

Umm, yes, its easy and delicious.
