Would you have cut the cigarettes up?

[Locke.]

Just watching last nights episode now and thought it was a bit of a no brainer, but the smokers seem to have overreacted a bit. So would you have cut them up for the 20 points, or let the smokers have them?

[Saph]

Cut them up, I dont smoke so it wouldnt have bothered me

[Jords]

No.
The smokers would love you and the non-smokers would understand even if they do not agree.

Id have to definitely pass on my temptation though if I didnt.

[Spik3]

I'm a smoker and I had a heart attack just watching that **** cut them! Felt so bad for my Lauren ;(

[Niamh.]

I am a smoker so no lol

[nerves]

As a non smoker I wouldn't have, I looked at it like it was someone personal property

[MTVN]

Yeah, 20 points is quite a lot and it'll help them pass the task and give them more money to spend on them with the next shopping list, it's only a couple of days they have to go without

[Jayson]

Only a couple of days?!

I can barely go 2 hours without one, and imagine how it is in the house where there aren't any distractions to keep your mind off of it. I couldn't put myself and others through that.

[Patrick]

As a smoker, yes I would - simply to piss of people like Ashleigh.

[chuff me dizzy]

No way, Im a smoker and know how hard it would be to not have any ,I like Arron,but if he had cut my fags up I would nominate him every week

[jaythegeek]

No.
The smokers would love you and the non-smokers would understand even if they do not agree.

I love your lydia and deana gif, very cute

Me too

[fruit_cake]

I'd have cut them up for the thrill of it

[Samuel.]

Would've done it for the lulz.

[Callum]

Yes, I hate smoking and for 20 points it would be worth it.

[Gillian-73]

No, because being a smoker myself i would have suffered lol

[armand.kay]

YES!! I don't smoke or care for smokers. :idc:

[armand.kay]

In fact I would of cut them for 1 point. :joker:

[King Gizzard]

Without a second thought

I'd chop them up everyday :pipe:

[Petershaw1984]

As a smoker no
As a ex non smoker yes

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

As a recent non smoker, I think I would have let them have there cigarettes.

[BJ]

I'm a smoker and I wouldn't have cut them up. My husband is a non smoker and wouldn't have cut them up either.

I'd nominate Arron every week if I was in there

[Vanessa]

Can you imagine if Nadia was there when Arron cut the cigarettes? :laugh2::laugh2:

[Bluerang1]

None-smoker so no. Especially if some of them are personal belongings. Not trying to look good, just don't want to do it.

[smeagol]

no way i would even if i didn't smoke. that task was so biased they gave it to a non smoker and him of all people obviously he would cut them up. theres no dilemma giving to a non smoker.
now give to lauren to do or another smoker thats a dilemma

[Mystic Mock]

I would of, but im a bit of a cruel ****er like that anyway.:joker:

[Indy]

That's what I was wondering. Originally, everyone brought some in, everyone but Lauren ran out, Lauren was pressured into sharing whether she wanted to or not. By the time this task happened, did she still have any of the ones she brought in with her? I noticed her saying at one point that they can't get the kind she brought through the shopping list. If that was a mix of cigarettes provided through BB and someone's personal belongings, then no, that's not a fair penalty.

[armand.kay]

She would of cut him up. :joker:. Tbh I don't think she would if kept quit when big brother asked them to.

[Vanessa]

Poor Arron! He'd be in serious trouble! :laugh3:

[art_apples]

As an ex-smoker I couldn't imagine a worse thing to do really for the smokers. I can totally understand Lauren's reaction.

I think it is harder in a way because it was sprung on them suddenly without them having time to prepare for it, and the cravings at that point could be really high. In fact out of all the tasks that they are ever given this two or three days without cigarettes could quite possibly be the hardest test that any housemate has ever had to face.

When I gave up smoking about five years ago I came of from smoking about 40 a day down to 20 a day in the preceding year as a first step and when I finally gave up I took a week of work to do it and I went through intense withdrawal shivers and my whole system sweated out for over a week... it was like going through an intense fever.

[PrincessIona]

Living with those, yes I would. If I was living with housemates I liked I wouldn't

[Marcus.]

no i would not

[Munchkins]

Even though i do not smoke, i just don't think i could cut up the cigarettes, i'd feel too cruel ://

[Kizzy]

I have officially made it 50/50 with 30 members saying yes and 30 no. I said I would but then i'm a non smoker...

[Joe.]

If I didn't smoke then I would but i'm a smoker and can feel their pain!

[joeysteele]

Definately, Arron made totally the right choice,it was a good 20 points for the shopping task budget,had he not done so, he would now be being pilloried for not having the courage to cut them up and trying go for popularity with the other housemates instead.
Especially as they would have then failed the shopping task too by likely those 20 points.

I agree, he did appear to be in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation on the surface of things.

[karezza]

I would cut them up and I wouldn't put them on the Shopping List.

[Slevin]

yea i thought the task was somewhat biased and i thought it was obvious Arron would do it. it would of been more entertaining to have a smoker do it and sweat.

[Julseyone]

omg...they would have failed the task if he handnt cut them up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rayheartbliss]

if it was ashleigh's money yes i'd have cut them all and thrown it all over her face.

[Josielover]

I hate smoking so I'd have cut them up for sure. I'd have done it for less points too tbh, I think Arron did the right thing.

[Loukas]

no, i'm a smoker so i feel their pain
