My parents have been separated for over 18 years. I live with my grandmother. One day, I went to a cafe with my friends and saw them smoking various types of tobacco. They told me, “You’re living your life, nobody cares about you, do what you want. Why don’t you smoke with us? You see how we are!” So I told them, “I’ll smoke with you, but on one condition: we’ll have a few competitions. If you win, I’ll smoke with you, and if you lose, you’ll quit and we’ll see about our futures.” I love swimming. I told them, “Let’s go underwater for as long as possible.” We all went underwater, but no one could hold it. They all came out quickly. I won. I got out, drank milk, and we started running again. We had a race on the football field, and I beat them. I formed a team for the football match: a smoking team and a non-smoking team. The non-smoking team won. During the match, they were under a lot of pressure and tired. Every time they saw me drinking milk, they were surprised. As a result, many of them quit and are now living tobacco-free lives. [Thoughts…] You are preserving your health, your money, and ensuring your name is remembered fondly everywhere.
