I know a few people around here that are looking to get them cheap so they can sell them for a decent profit on eBay. And the proceeds weren't being donated towards anything.. However, the still have to be bought initially, so the money is being donated at the lowest level.
My experience with them is that they are more of a trendy thing to wear than an object to show represent the cause they stand for.
I personally am not one to flaunt where I put my money, and I think there are quite a few people that have no idea they represent what they do, and aren't instead just cool looking bracelets that upon wearing, come with coolness.
I'm not really sure I understand the problem with smokers knowingly wearing the bracelets.. They smoke, and they also want to donate towards cancer research.. What's the problem? If anything they may be donating to helping themselves down the road, if a cure is in fact found.. But still, I think donating is always a good practice, regardless of what one's personal habits/practices are.
