Driven to quit

Heard about this on TV. http://driventoquit.ca/english/home/ Decided to email the few smokers at work about it. Who knows, maybe it will have some effect. No harm at least (unless they're getting too annoyed at me bugging them (especially my own manager)).

Graham thought I was going to bug him about health issues. "I think I'm quite familiar with the health issues by now!" I said, "You must have seen the droopy cigarette?!" He said "Yeah! And not just on the cigarette box!!" Was laughing soo hard.

In a way though, smokers have this chance to win, while those of us who were smart enough not to start smoking can't win. But actually, if this is effective, and gets a bunch of people to quit smoking, then the reduction in public health care costs perhaps offsets the original cost of the prizes?

Crap I forgot to remind them that with the money they saved from cigarettes, they could buy hundreds more chances to win in the form of lotto tickets! So it's an even better deal!

Kindof sad that financial incentives are more powerful than simply the 'not harming yourself and others' argument. But, go with whatever works.
