Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Does Smokers Guide accept money for reviews?

NO. We accept money for advertising, but our reviews are completely independent. In most cases they are sent in by reviewers, other times by moderators and the occasional secret mystery shopper. <>

 

What criteria do we apply to products and services that we feature?

As a "guide" we strive to offer the best advice and give the most options to a very wide audience. This is not an easy thing to do with so many varied opinions and needs represented by our readers.

Every business we work with must be special or leading the pack in some way. See this page for more details on our criteria.
