78 The Last One

The last one?

After reading an article entitled ‘Cigarette Smoking and Your Health’I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves.

I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette.

For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly.

I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking:

a bad temper and an enormous appetite.
