Heal Me! ...(but not too much)

MR SMOKER : Hey! Thanks for the medicines! Its really helped me a lot!


ME : You're welcome! (This uncle bought some nicotine patches a few weeks back in an effort to quit smoking) So how's the progress so far?


MR SMOKER : Very good! I've stopped already!


ME : Oh, you've stopped smoking? Congratulations! 


MR EX-SMOKER : Er no...I've stopped the medication already.


ME : You've stopped the medication? How come? Giving you some side effects?


MR NOT-YET-AN-EX-SMOKER : Not at all. Its good and helped me cut down from 2 packs to just 1 pack a day. With the patch I can go a day without smoking actually. Really helped me save some money but I think that's good enough. 


ME : Why not continue a few more weeks and then cut down to half pack and then eventually stop? That will save you even more money right?


MR I-STILL-WANT-TO-SMOKE : Nah, its not advisable to change my habit so suddenly. Even my Dr told me its not good to drastically stop like that and said cut to half my consumption ok already... Anyway thanks for your help.


ME : -.-"
