“I also used to smoke, but have given it up⁠ ⁠… and I feel so well⁠—so free!”

“Well of course⁠ ⁠… but it’s dull without it.”

“Give it up, and the dullness will go! Smoking is no good, you know!”

“No good at all.”

“If it’s no good, you should not do it. Seeing you smoke, others will do the same⁠ ⁠… especially the young folk. They’ll say, ‘If the old folk smoke, God himself bids us do it!’ ”

“That’s true enough.”

“And your son, seeing you smoke, will do it too.”

“Of course, my son too.⁠ ⁠…”

“Well then, give it up!”
