Cigs and WW1

just a funny thought from the discussion in class today. Well we went over the whole giving a cig a charity or not and then mention in WW1 and how it would be then if 9 out of 10 people you knew will die. What if the person you gave the cig too survived the fighting? would it still be charity than or just charity for the moment and not so in the long run? posting this just for fun
