Bans on public smoking are spreading throughout the world. That suits Eric who is a lifelong non-smoker, nay, ANTI-smoker. For 30 days he will change the world and the habits of current smokers.Day 3:Things are getting a little fraught around the house. My wife, basically, refuses to stop smoking. I tell her that she is killing herself and she tells me that what she does is her affair. I then tell her that she is killing me and she tells me that it will happen a lot sooner if I don’t stop going on about it. She is a strong woman and I don’t take threats like that lightly.A different approach is therefore needed. Softly, softly catchee monkee.

She squealed and I came running. She was in tears and looked forlorn. There was blood everywhere and she looked distressed indeed.She beckoned me over and I was very glad to help. I prised off the mousetrap and hugged her. “Help me!” she cried. She pushed me aside as she used her bloodstained hand to collect a stray cigarette from the floor. “Could you light it for me?”
