Persuading Someone To Quit Chewing Tobacco


--by cheeka, posted Aug 4, 2024
Our young community security guard had a habit of chewing Tobacco. My wife persuaded him to quit chewing tobacco as its harmful to his health. She coaxed him that she will order him a box of sweets immediately if he agrees to quitting tobacco. The security guard accepted the challenge gladly and my wife got him a box of sweets. That happened about four months ago. Since then, the security guard has persuaded three other friends of his to quit tobacco. My wife asked him how he managed to stay free of tobacco all these four months he replied "because I gave you a promise I have to stick to it for my life. But madam, i am chewing cardamom sticks in stead and it is healthy, right?"
