However, when you smoke, it’s also bad for me and Mum. In other words, when we breathe in your smoke, it’s like we are smoke　　 31　 　. As a result, we can get diseases as well. Doctors are finding that more and more non-smokers are falling ill because of the effects of other people’s smoking.

I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking　 32　 you mustn’t give in(屈服) to it. Please see the doctor and ask him for help. We will do anything we can　 33　 　you.
