Homework- Story

Rick and Monica were in their 30's and had 2 kids. Everything was going their way, until Rick started smoking. At work, he would encounter carbon monoxide. This effected his mind and body. Not only did he start smoking, but he also had trouble breathing. Monica was a nurse, and she knew that carcinogen can cause cancer. She didn't want this to happen to her husband. Her own dad was diagnosed with emphysema, so she knew she couldn't let her husband have the same problems. To prevent this, she took Rick to the doctor's office. Sure enough, there were signs of leukoplakia in his body. Monica was devastated. She knew she had to do something. She had to get Rick to stop inhaling nicotine into his body. The doctor suggested a nicotine patch. Monica gladly agreed and immediately bought some for him. He stopped smoking, but the problem at work didn't help. He constantly inhaled second hand smoke from his friends. He asked his friends to stop, and suprisingly they agreed. Then they started using snuff. Rick couldn't resist the temptation, and tried some. After a couple of minutes, he got tar on his skin. He went home, where Monica examined it. The mark wasn't severe, but she was still angry. When he told her that he tried tobacco, she was furious. "When will he learn his lesson?" she constantly thought.
