"Professor" Carrick

He is my best friend. We have known each other for 7 years. When I met him in the swimming pool by accident, he had been swimming for about 3 hours. He looked like he was exhausted, so I gave him a cigarette which was his favourite brand. He said to me that he had quit smoking since he had a heart test in the hospital. The doctor had said that he was hurting himself. He said that even though he had been smoking for about 7 years, he was willingly to try to quit smoking. I thought that he had made the right decision. I hope his body can start with fresh slate. Good luck, Carrick!!
