W: I hate walking into our building in the morning! All the smokers stand around the building’s entrance puffing away. I can’t take it!
M: That’s OK. I understand. A lot of people really hate smoke.
W: I’m glad they banned smoking inside the office, but I wish I didn’t have to smell it while walking on the street. I simply can’t understand why a person would want to smoke.
M: (1) Well, I used to smoke, but I quit about 20 years ago.
W: Yeah...I would assume at this point in history—especially given what we know about the dangers of smoking—most people would have quit already!
M: (2) You know the saying, " Old habits die hard. " I think I would add that bad habits die even harder. You know, you could always move to Bhutan.
W: Bhutan? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.
M: It’s a small kingdom located in the Himalayan Mountains, near Nepal. In 2004, Bhutan banned tobacco altogether.
W: Cool! Did it work? If I go to Bhutan, will I never smell cigarette smoke?
M: Actually, no. (3)I read a recent report that said there are a lot of loopholes in the law, and if you go to restaurants and bars, you’ll still see lots of people lighting up.
W: So I guess I just have to learn to put up with it.
M: Things are changing, however. Smoking rates are dropping all around the world. Just the other day, there was a newspaper report that said New Zealand is raising prices on a pack of cigarettes to $ 20 by the year 2025!
W: $20? Wow! That’s really expensive. But is there any proof that high prices work?
M: There have been quite a few studies that show that every time a country raises cigarette taxes and prices, a certain percentage of smokers quit.
W: I see. The high prices act as "the straw that broke the camel’s back". Smokers that have been meaning to quit see the price increase, and it gives them a little push.
M: Yeah. But on the other hand, prices are already quite high in many places. (4) A pack of cigarettes in London costs about $10, in New York a pack costs roughly $8, and in Norway it’s already around $ 14. But I was in London not that long ago, and I saw plenty of smokers!
W: Yeah. The last time I was in New York, there also seem to be plenty of smokers. I guess there are some people who are wealthy enough to afford whatever price.
M: Definitely. (5)I think the best way forward is to push education efforts for young people. If we can convince the next generation that smoking isn’t " cool" , eventually we might be able to eradicate smoking.

3. What do we know about Bhutan’s smoking ban?
4. How much does a pack of cigarettes cost in New York?
5. What is the man’s suggestion about eradicating smoking?
