A: Hey you are coughing again, I heard that. And it also looks like you are coming down with a fever again. Good lord.
B: Yes dear, I have a headache with that too. I think I really need to rest for a while.
A: You have been smoking again! Haven’t you? How many times did I tell you it’s bad for you! But you just won’t listen. Will you?
B: No, no! Don’t worry, I have only been smoking a few cigarettes lately. I promise I have reduced, by a lot. I have been controlling myself. I promise I will be quitting soon.
A: Oh you promised the same thing to over and over again. But I know it’s useless, and I really don’t believe you anymore. Smoking is bad for you!
B: Yes you tell me that every day, I am quite aware of the consequences.
A: No, you aren’t. If you were then you’d know smoking not only cause harm to the smoker, but also the people around the smoker. You are quite selfish, and also you are killing yourself. Smoking causes lungs to be damaged, cancer, ruins teeth and what not. And spare me the odor! Please.
B: Okay, okay. You really don’t have to explain it to me anymore. It’s not like I don’t agree with you. I do. But I am helpless, there is nothing I ca do about it. I developed this habit since years, you can’t expect me to quit overnight. But with your help, I believe I can do something about. After all nothing is impossible.
