Dear Queenie,
I am very fat and my son has been after me to lose weight. He has been smoking since he was in his teens and I have been after him to quit, so I told him I would go on a diet if he would stop smoking.
Queenie, do you think this is a fair trade?—His mother
Dear Mother,
Absolutely! Both smoking and obesity are unhealthy conditions. Good luck to both of you!
