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 okay. 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: Well, I used to smoke. 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: 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 $ 15 by the year 2016!
W: $ 15? Wow! That’s really expensive. But is there any proof that high prices work?
M:(4)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. 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.
