Quit, quit now....



I rather suspect the writer in his last words, 'Quit, quit now', may be

jokingly alluding to a certain phrase popular in the States (current in

anti-smoking campaigns?) Any clue?



The echoes of this phrase in my head are of a parent correcting children

who are misbehaving, or a child telling another to stop doing something

that is annoying. Not quite a saying like "Cease and desist!"
