[ti:The Last One?]

[00:12.44]For how long did the writer give up smoking?
[00:18.23]After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves.
[00:28.14]I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette.
[00:36.96]For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time my wife suffered terribly.
[00:46.27]I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite.
[00:56.08]My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars.
[01:00.63]They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket.
[01:09.32]After seven days of this I went to a party.
[01:14.59]Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
[01:21.09]When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear.
[01:28.42]I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction.
[01:35.79]My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more.
[01:41.39]Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking.
[01:49.04]He himself has done it lots of times!
