Get paid for smoking? Central Virginia

There is an ad in today's paper, from the Consumer Opinion Center located in Richmond, VA. Don't know if the studies are set up nationally, but thought this might be of interest to my local BOTL:

CIGAR SMOKERS (all major brands)

EARN EXTRA $$$
Earn extra money by participating in cigar evaluation sessions and other research studies at the Consumer Opinion Center. Call 1-800-9267-COC for more information.

Males/Females, 21-65 years of age
Availability: variety of schedules

TEXT "COC" TO 94797 or
CALL 1-800-9267-COC TODAY!

visit us at www.consumeropinioncenter.com

Call: M-F 8am-8pm
600 block of N. 5th street
Richmond, VA 23219

I did a little research and COC is funded by the Altria Group which owns Phillip Morris which owns John Middleton, Inc., which makes Black & Milds... COC is currently funding other consumer research in tobacco products. Looks like the average compensation for those studies is about $200 for 2 days of participation.

Thanks Kaiser, I'm definitely checking into this more. They've been running similar ads for smokeless tobacco for months and I never followed through. Maybe I can double dip (pun intended).
