Incidentally, my friend remembers when he was in a dirah in Eretz Yisroel, and a shidduch call came in to Reuven, asking about Shimon. Shimon was present and in the middle of a cigarette when Reuven motioned to him that he was just asked if he smokes. Shimon immediately put out his cigarette, and Reuven promptly answered, “He used to smoke, but he quit”.
Yes, but you should include the end of the story when you tell that. Shimon, ( who is my brother), has never smoked a cigarette since then in the past 8 years even though he never even dated that girl.
