    Nah, I'm not drunk now, ha ha. This however is real. I should have been more specific. This health assesment is for insurance. They check our BMI,LDL, Blood Gluclose,and blood pressure. All 4 of these at a proper rate can give us a discount on our premium. The catch is to even qualify for these discounts you have to say you are in the healthy choices plan. The healthy choices plan is for non smokers. They draw your blood and test it for nicotine at part of the physical.

    So, you want to know how to safely lie to the insurance company?

    I wouldn't call it lying. There is a huge difference in the health of someone who moke a pack or 2 a day and someone who smokes a cigar every month. I see no harm in it, its not like id be killing myself where a 2 ack a day smoker would. I just want to make sure that smoking a cigar every month or so wouldn't come up on the test the same as if I were a heavy smoker.
