    Hi DP friends,
    If you are a smoker and not quit yet, let's play a game here. Remember, this is not real.. :)

    Imagine this!
    Let say that there is a health company that promoting it's "PAY FOR QUIT SMOKING" program. The company will pay you if you decide to quit smoking.

    Please post here :
    How much do you want the company pay you, for :
    - 1 year smoking quit : $...
    - Permanent smoking quit : $...


    Next week, I will calculate all to find out the total amount of money that the company has to spend to make us stop smoking.

    Let's do this just like BST forums way, okay? LOL

    Start now, guys! See you next week! :)

    Regards,
    Mimm​

    For 1 Million I will quit for a year, and for every year after you double the amount of the previous year and I will continue to be a nonsmoker.

    It depend on us, if we received the payment but don't quit smoking and the nicotine test show a positive result, then we are scammers! We will be banned... LOL

    What's the business model around paying people to quit smoking? What company is going to trash itself trying to trash tobacco companies?

    This game dosn't make any sense as just a game lol!

    i dont smoking for one 100000 dollars LOL! best advice me :D

    ---
    I gave up in 2001, with the idea of saving not only my life, but also saving money. In the last seven years I've never seen a single extra 'non smoking' cent. I don't know where it goes, but nearly every ex-smoker I've talked to has experienced the same phenomenon. We've all given up a $5-10 per day habit, but never see any extra cash...
    [I'm posting in small letters because nobody reads past the first post in DP anymore, and I don't want to distract anyone]

    I quit smoking almost a year ago. Give me $5000 for everytime I craved a cigarette and I'd be a millionaire by now.
