'non-starter' Contained Stories
Being a non-smoker benefits your social life as well as your health. We can start to describe these occasions from the financial side. Once your smoking becomes an addiction, you lose money unnecessarily. Instead of this bad habit, you can save and buy more valuable things with this money. Likewise in business, if you smoke, you may need to leave the office frequently, which can lead to a negative view of your manager. Having such a negative trait can cause shame later on. Do not say "this is nonsense!" stop being a non-starter and offensive about it, just try being a non-smoker!
