Dialogue Between Two Friends About Bad Effects of Smoking

A dialogue between Zafi and Zarif about the bad effects of smoking:

Zafi: Hello, Zarif. How are you?

Zarif: I am not well. I have been suffering from cough but what about you?

Zafi: I am fine, but you are not well as you have become a chain smoker nowadays. Smoking may be one of the main causes of your sickness.

Zarif: The doctor also said so. He also said that smoking might cause cancer, heart attack, high blood pressure, chronic lung-troubles and some other serious diseases.  

Zafi: The doctor said rightly. One puff of cigarette smoke contains fifteen billion particles of matter which are fatal to health.

Zarif: Besides, tobacco tar forms a brown, sticky mass inside the lungs and it hinders the easy flow of blood.

Zafi: Then why you are not giving up smoking? Is there anything good in smoking?

Zarif: No, nothing. Nobody could put any argument in favour of smoking.

Zafi: Absolutely. Remember that smoking affects not only the smokers but also the people that may be around them.

Zarif: You are right. It also causes a great deal of financial and economic loss.

Zafi: Knowing so much, why you don’t give up smoking? If you thought seriously about its bad effects, you should not smoke anymore.

Zarif: I tried to give it up, but I could not. I cannot even concentrate on my study without smoking.

Zafi: It is a lame excuse. If you want you can give up smoking, in this case your will power is enough. It is a suicidal habit.

Zarif: Yes, I know it is a suicidal habit that kills a person slowly. However, within the shortest possible time, I will give up smoking totally.

Zafi: Thank you for your wise decision. You should not smoke anymore. Remember that the sooner you give it up, the better it will be for you.

Zarif: Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion.
