Hi Petrica!

           This is Joe. And I am a big fan of yours. Petrica, I wanted to know how I can say no to my friends for drinking and smoking, who keep on insisting I take a drag or have a peg of alcohol.

I would be waiting for you to answer this.

Thank you!

Joe.

Hi Joe!

        Thank you so much for your kind words. Well, I am grateful for this.

Joe, it is very simple. One of my friends would also insist on me but, I broke this chain by learning to say ‘no’ firmly.

And if they are your friends, they would not pressurize you. Also, you can say that you are in the gym so you have to quit smoking or have some serious health issues, and you are advised to quit smoking else it will become life-threatening. But, in the first place, learn to say ‘no’.

Thank you!

Petrica
