“Yɛn ba a yɛawo no foforo no nti, meyɛɛ m’adwene sɛ megyae sigaretnom. Enti mekyerɛw biribi bɔɔ yɛn fie hɔ sɛ, ‘Yɛnnom Sigaret Wɔ Ha.’ Nanso bɛyɛ dɔnhwerew baako pɛ, me kɔn dɔɔ sigaret ara ma na migye me ho a ennye. M’ani baa me ho so no, na masɔ sigaret.”​—Yoshimitsu a ɔwɔ Japan.

SƐNEA Yoshimitsu asɛm no ama yɛahu no, sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ogyae sigaretnom a, nea ɔfa mu no nyɛ agorɔ. Afei nso, nhwehwɛmu ama abɛda adi sɛ, nnipa a wɔyɛ sɛ wɔregyae sigaretnom a wɔsan kɔ ho no, yeyi mu 10 a, emu 9 de ahwease yɛ nna.

Obi a wagyae sigaretnom kaa sɛ: “Akɔnnɔ no, ɛyɛ a ɛntoam; ɛba na ɛkɔ.” Sɛ wugyae a, mfe pii akyi mpo, etumi ba wo mu prɛko pɛ sɛ kɔnom bi. Ɛba saa a, ntutu mmirika nkɔpɛ bi nnom. Wotwɛn bɛyɛ simma nnum a, akɔnnɔ no betu ayera.

Nanso saa nneɛma yi pii wɔ hɔ a, akyɛ ara, bosome baako kosi bosome baako ne fã na abrɛ ase.

Torben a yɛkaa n’asɛm no kyerɛ mu sɛ, “Migyaee sigaretnom mfe 19 ni.

Ayɔnkofo: Hwehwɛ mu yiye ansa na wone obi abɔ. Ɛho nhwɛso ne sɛ, wɔn a wɔnom sigaret ne wɔn a ebia wɔbɛka sɛ wo ne wɔn nnom bi no, ɛnsɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn bɔ. Afei wɔn a woregyae a wobu w’abam, anaa wodi wo ho fɛw nso, twe wo ho fi wɔn ho.
