Would you have cut the cigarettes up?
 
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 28-06-2012 03:06 PM

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

Jords 28-06-2012 03:07 PM

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 28-06-2012 03:09 PM

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

Niamh. 28-06-2012 03:10 PM

I am a smoker so no lol

nerves 28-06-2012 03:12 PM

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

MTVN 28-06-2012 03:14 PM

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 28-06-2012 03:19 PM

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 28-06-2012 03:20 PM

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

chuff me dizzy 28-06-2012 03:23 PM

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

Me too

fruit_cake 28-06-2012 03:28 PM

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

Samuel. 28-06-2012 03:41 PM

Would've done it for the lulz.

Callum 28-06-2012 03:52 PM

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

Gillian-73 28-06-2012 04:04 PM

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

armand.kay 28-06-2012 04:09 PM

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

armand.kay 28-06-2012 04:11 PM

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

King Gizzard 28-06-2012 04:12 PM

Without a second thought

I'd chop them up everyday :pipe:

Petershaw1984 28-06-2012 04:18 PM

As a smoker no
As a ex non smoker yes

BigBrotherfan4ever 28-06-2012 04:24 PM

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

BJ 28-06-2012 04:24 PM

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 28-06-2012 04:26 PM

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

Bluerang1 28-06-2012 04:29 PM

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 28-06-2012 04:34 PM

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 28-06-2012 04:36 PM

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

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.

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

art_apples 28-06-2012 05:15 PM

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 28-06-2012 05:20 PM

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

Marcus. 28-06-2012 05:20 PM

no i would not

Munchkins 28-06-2012 05:36 PM

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

Kizzy 28-06-2012 06:06 PM

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. 28-06-2012 06:09 PM

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

joeysteele 29-06-2012 12:47 PM

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 29-06-2012 12:49 PM

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

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 29-06-2012 05:27 PM

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