当你招待某人时，或想要在尴尬的氛围中打破坚冰时，给一根香烟都是最手到擒来也最常见的方式(30年前没戒烟的时候我自己就常这么做)。

Offering a cigarette is a common way to greet someone, a handy ice-breaker especially in awkward situations (I myself used to do that until I quit smoking 30 years ago).

我所有的朋友中只有三个人吸烟，而其中的一位正在戒烟当中。其中一位想要戒，他们或许应该这样做。

Out of all of my friends, only three of them smoke, one of which is quitting. One of them wants to quit, and they probably should.
