My stepbrothers don't drink, don't smoke.
Not allowed.
Only on Christmas Eve, glass of champagne together with the family.
The older one tried to smoke in front of his first wife,
Then fiancé.
He would prefer to hide, because she was choking and coughing, huge opened eyes:
You are smoking?!
Of course both parents from both sides were notified immediately.
Apparently his own mother had no idea.
It was complete a crime not tell something to you mother,
Even if out of mind.
Grandmothers informed for a good reason.
After seeing old grandma wiping tears,
Asking if she did something wrong when he was four.
After looking in mother in law mad eyes:
"How could you do this to your future wife,
What about the children?
Do you want them be idiots.
All my friends sons stopped immediately!"
After shaking father in law' s hand:
"Vitali, be a man".
My stepbrother knew, he will loose smoking fight.
Plus he was not allowed to smooke in the apartment,
Not on the balcony either.
On twelve floor, not near the door.
Neighbors called to fire station a few times:
Kids want to burn our house.
Elevator was not working,
He had to go downstairs.
How could he leave his future wife for fifteen minutes while.
In four months no one in new future family was thinking to give up.
It was the end of smoking.
