 抽烟没带烟，有烟吗？还是别抽烟得好，早些戒掉吧！

A: "Hey Bobby. What's going on?"

B: "Just taking a smoke break."

A: "I forgot my cigarette today. Do you have another one?"

B: "Sure. Here you go."

A: "Thanks."

B: "I didn't know you smoked."

A: "Really? I've been smoking for over a year now."

B: "Oh. You're new to smoking still. I've been smoking for 7 years."

A: "You ever tired to quit?"

B: "Many times. I'm really addicted¹. It's harder to stop than you think."

A: "Yeah. I tried to quit last month, and I thought it was going to be easy, but it turns out that I'm still smoking."

B: "I highly² recommend you quit soon. The longer you smoke, the harder it becomes to quit."

B: "No problem. I'll talk to you later."
