Lesson78    The last one?

After reading anarticle entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calmmy nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that thiswould be my last cigarette. For a whole week I did not smoke at all and duringthis time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someonegiving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept onoffering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusementwhenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of thisI went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremelyuncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it wasmore than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked withsatisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal oncemore. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world togive up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times!
