The Cath–Chris CutDown Challenge begins on Monday, 25 January 2010.
Where: Chris, in Cape Town. Cath, in Durban.
What: Not quit but, cut down on smoking. Currently, both Chris and Cath are smoking far too much during the day.
So, what are the rules?
- Cut down from over a box of twenties a day (we both confess to having hit 40 smokes in the last 24 hours)…to just 20 cigarettes a day.
- Complete honesty. Daily check-ins over Skype.
- Going out always mean you smoke more at events; out with the mates etc. So, no penalties apply for this. But, the closer you can stay to the 20 a day mark, the better.
- Whoever fails, at the end of the first week, to have stayed at 20 cigarettes a day, will have to do a dare, as decided by the other party.
