comebacks
You're right one won't hurt but it wont do me any good either . . .        All the adults I know that smoke wished they never started. Besides, being grown up means being independent, what's independent about smoking? . . .        No way - cigarettes are so last season . . .        If you were my friend you wouldn't be asking me to do something that could hurt me . . .        No way - nobody smokes anymore. I'm in the majority mate . . .
