"The idea is, find the most influential hipsters, put them in a cessation program with financial rewards, and release them into the scene to test the effectiveness of using peer pressure and other methods to make the anti-smoking movement cool."

This would have never worked for me because I look for the biggest douchebag hipsters in order to do the total opposite of what they are doing - 5150

My work puts out a weekly "hipster" column that I use to gauge whether or not I'm doing something right - if I agree with more than 10% of it says I start to worry - http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/ask-hipster/

Damnit, just realized your post was sourced from our local daily fishwrap - I'm guessing we'll have a take on it soon, though I can't even see what $100 would do for North Park hipsters in SD - that won't even cover a night of sipping on "craft" cocktails while debating the weave patterns in one's flannel and the merits of varying mustache waxes...

And this week's issue hit stands today...hipster take is "who gives a fuck" and even references the mustache references I predicted...
