W: I'm afraid it's not allowed in the whole building.
M: Oh dear!
W: Sure. Help yourself, over there.
M: Thank you very much.
W: Don't you know smoking is not good for your health, young man?
M: I tried many times to give it up, but I failed.
W: Yes, it's hard to stop! But if you have the nonsmokers' health and well-being in mind, you might succeed.
M: You're right! Thanks very much. I'll try again to kick my smoking habit.
W: That's OK. Well, if you're feeling bad now, you can smoke outside, in the open air.
M: Oh, no!
W: That's great!
