Yes. I am a smoker. Save the lectures. I will quit when I am damn good and ready. I am not ashamed. Now poor, due to the high tax.
However, Marlboro threw me a bone. An all expenses paid trip for me and a guest (the hubs) to their ranch in the Crazy Mountains outside Bozeman, Montana. They pay for the flight. They put you up in a room at the ranch. They provide all meals. They have activities for everyone to do, which, from what I understand, you get to pick from. These include horseback riding, zip-lining, fishing, biking, cattle wrangling, off-roading in Hummer's (REAL ones), mountain biking, hiking, massages, back country tours and I even think they will take you to Yellowstone Park. Free booze from 5pm-till. Free stuff when you get there. And the coup de gras is a check for your expenses. $1250. Cash money. The catch? A 1099 at the end of the year for the value of the trip-$5000. No problem. I already talked to my CPA (AKA my mother-in-law) and our liablity will only be a bout $700. What did I do to get this? Obviously, you have to be a smoker, but I have been on their mailing list for a few years. It's not a scam. I have done extensive research. We have sent in all of our backround check info and contracts, we are just waiting on the dates we will actually go. Should get that in a few weeks. Until then.......
