14. Quit Cold Turkey

Jane is talking to her boyfriend.

J： You promised me that you were going to give up smoking. What’s that in your hand？

B： I’m sorry. I really want to except that every time I get nervous， I can’t help smoking.

J： That’s just an excuse.

B： No. It’s true. I’ve tried everything： chewing gum， biting my fingernails and even meditation， but nothing works.

J： Well， if you want to be with me， you’ll just have to quit cold turkey.

B： That will work！
