Prose on quitting smoking

Lao Li works in an office. He is nearly 50 years old, with a low education, and he is only a deputy director. He doesn't have any special hobbies, of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't have special skills. If we have to find out his strengths, I'm afraid he likes smoking. Lao Li started smoking at the age of eighteen or nineteen, and has been smoking for more than thirty years now. His wife once opposed his smoking and advised him to give up smoking, but he said, "A cigarette after a meal is better than a living fairy." Ignoring his wife's advice, she had no choice but to have him and turn a blind eye.

Recently, a smoker in the company got lung cancer, and several other heavy smokers may also be inspired to quit smoking. Seeing others quit smoking, Lao Li also began to consider quitting smoking. He said to his wife, "Several smokers in our unit have given up smoking, and some have succeeded. I'm not afraid of getting sick from smoking. My grandfather and my father have smoked all their lives, and they can still work at the age of 70 or 80, and rarely catch a cold. It's just that no one else smokes now, and it doesn't make much sense to smoke alone. It seems that I have to quit smoking, too. " When his wife heard that he was going to quit smoking, she said simply, "The heavy smoker quit smoking, and the sun came out in the west."

Lao Li is a man of his word. So he began to quit smoking. But really quitting smoking is not a simple thing for Lao Li. In the first few days of quitting smoking, Lao Li always felt like he had lost his soul. He couldn't eat well or sleep well. When smoking is addictive and drooling, Lao Li takes out chewing gum and puts it in his mouth. He told his wife to buy this candy in the supermarket and put it in her pocket for special use. After several days of unbearable suffering, Lao Li's drug addiction attacks are less and less, and the number of chewing gum is gradually decreasing. After some painful torture, Lao Li finally overcame his addiction and gave up smoking.

One day, my boss Zhang came to Lao Li's office to check his work. When Zhang Yi entered the door, he felt that something was wrong with Lao Li, which was different from usual. When Lao Li was making tea for him, the section chief took out a pack of famous brand cigarettes (this kind of cigarettes could not be smoked by old horses in the past, but only one pack could be bought for Chinese New Year holidays). He lit one himself first, then took out one and handed it to Lao Li. Lao Li quickly waved his hand and said, "section chief, I quit smoking with me." The section chief was surprised: "Oh, oh, you quit smoking? I don't know, it's not simple, Lao Li, you are too persistent. Very good, very good. " The section chief stubbed out the lit cigarette butt, put it in the ashtray and said to Lao Li, "Lao Li, it seems that I want to learn from you, too." Lao Li said awkwardly, "Director, don't laugh at me. I don't smoke, you can smoke. "

After Zhang Ke left, Lao Li felt a little puzzled: when the former section chief came to check, he always sat in the office smoking, drinking tea, talking and asking questions. He was very affectionate to himself, but this time he left without saying a few words. And when the section chief left, he didn't reach out and shake hands with himself as before. Lao Li happened to see the ashtray that had not been put away, and seemed to understand something.

After a while, Lao Li received a notice that Zhang Kechang was coming to inspect the work. After receiving the notice, Lao Li hurriedly bought a pack of high-grade cigarettes and put them in the office. One afternoon, the section chief Zhang came to check the work. When Lao Li saw a pedestrian coming to the office, he hurried to meet him, then took out his cigarette and made a toast to Zhang. When Zhang saw the cigarette handed by Lao Li, he was stunned at first, and then said, "Good smoke! Lao Li, didn't you give up smoking? "

Lao Li: "I ..."

Section chief: "I quit smoking, just like you."

Lao Li: "..."
