For some reason the fact that it's a cigarette company makes me queasy.

Using ARGs to promote something hazardous to your health just seems...

How do they define 'smoker' -- someone who has smoked at least one puff from one cigarette, etc., 2 pack per day minimum?

I won a Marlboro comp once and you have to swear that you smoke. I had to be trained to smoke by a friend, who let me know when to light up when a rep was in sight. I had already been taught to smoke by another friend for a stage part, but it wasn't very convincing. Of the 10 finalists, one was a lad whose doctor father refused to let him participate, one was an elegant woman who would only smoke Sobranie cocktail cigarettes, despite endless Marlboro being available, and another just said I don't smoke, tough. On the final night I thought I was rumbled cos one of their team said "you don't really smoke do you". Of course I do I said, and in case anyone from their firm is reading this "of course I do".

I can't tell - but this seems like a scavenger hunt more than an ARG.
