I can help you if you help me understand too. Smoking is a form of self-battering that also batters those who must sit by, who may occasionally joke or complain about it but helplessly watch. I sit and watch people smoke. The habit hurts them. It hurts me too. I can complain. I can make jokes. There is little I can do to change this. English is forgiving in format and can have many variations that are acceptable. You can write things many different ways. It is ok. Have fun writing. We understand each other when writing to each other.
