[ speech 1 ]
 
A man and his wife ran a small successful restaurant. One day, there were a full of customers in the restaurant. One of the customers was smoking at the table while having a cup of coffee, and there were a mother and her daughter eating next to his table. When the smoke of his cigarette came to their table, they were annoyed and asked him to put out his cigarette.
 
That evening, the restaurant owner and his wife were talking together at home. She showed him an article in the newspaper saying that cigarette smoke can harm non-smokers. She told him about what had happened in the restaurant earlier that day. The owner thought that something needed to be done to protect his customers who don't smoke.
 
A few weeks later, the owner put a sign on the window of the restaurant indicating that smoking is banned in the restaurant. A young couple walked by, saw the sign, and decided to go to another restaurant nearby, because the man was a smoker.
 
A few days later, there were fewer customers in the restaurant. The owner had mixed feelings about his decision. While his wife and other customers looked happy and enjoyed their meals free from cigarette smoke, he lost a lot of customers due to the new rule.

[ speech 2 ]
 
A man and his wife ran a small successful restaurant. Many different people came to eat there, including business people and families. One day, a mother and her child were having dinner there. They were bothered by the cigarette smoke from the man at the table beside them, so the mother asked him not to smoke there.
 
That evening, the owner's wife was showing her husband a newspaper article about the negative effects of cigarette smoke on nonsmokers. She reminded him that their customers were bothered by cigarette smoke earlier in the restaurant. He wondered what they should do to solve the problem.
 
A few weeks later, the owner decided to ban smoking in the restaurant. He put a no-smoking sign on the window. The couple walking by the restaurant saw the sign, and decided to go to the other restaurant next door, since the man was a smoker.
 
After the change, many people stopped coming to the restaurant. Although some customers were happy dining in the cigarette-free environment, the owner was disappointed that there were far fewer customers coming because of the new policy.
