My wife has been a heavy smoker for many years. After a friend died from lung cancer she finally decided recently that she wanted to give up, but she didn't do anything about it. A few days after she had said that she was going to quit I told her that she had until the end of the week to stop smoking. After that she would receive one stroke of the cane for every cigarette she smoked.I am retired and we are together all the time so I can monitor her smoking exactly. As I control the money and shopping I also know exactly how many she has. If she gives any away to friends she still gets the stroke and if I catch her receiving a cigarette from anybody else, that is added on to the count.She usually smokes about 30 a day so this was going to be a big deal from the very beginning. I issued the ultimatum on Wednesday. By Friday she had not reduced by more than one or two a day and I reminded her that she was going to get an almighty caning on Sunday if she didn't sort herself out very soon. She knows that I always mean what I say and that she always gets whatever punishment is coming to her, but until then I don't think she had really taken in the implications.On Saturday she cut down to one pack of twenty and when we went to bed I gave her a last reminder that from midnight on each cig would be a cane stroke. She shuddered just a little and slid down the bed to comfort me before we went to sleep.I needed help so I called in my mates who were happy to help with the training and receive the proper thanks.Smoking is finished, but what about her excess weight?
