Useful idea that will never get used.

posted by pylorns

Smokers know all about the extra rewards that the cigarrette companies give out. You know, save up the upc lables and get rewards for smoking packs and packs daily. Smoke 200 packs and you can get you some nifty hiking backpack. What smoker do you know of goes and hikes reguarly?

So idea #467: Smoking companies instead of offering stupid backpacks and cheap sunglasses with their labels, offer savings plans. The upc lables that you save up go towards your cancer treatment in old age. They can even have a logo on the bed. “This hospital bed sponsered by saved up UPC lables from Marlboro.”

Bad publicity you say? They already have that. Seriously, every smoker knows that if they keep it up they’ll get lung cancer or some other lung disease. Why not make a contribution for their patronage? I think it would actually shed them in a better light. Every 100 or so UPC labels equals a contribution to a savings plan for a hospital treatment.
