A comic monologue... sorry, we meant: a 'serious conference' which we recommend all those who wish to quit smoking to attend... as well as those who do not. And doctors. And parents with daughters of marriageable age. And husbands with authoritarian wives. And students of organic chemistry. And of botany. And of music. And parents of large families. And those who are thinking about starting a family. And those who aren't. And those who are suffering from the crisis. And those who have been in crisis for years.... And all those who want to have a good time listening to and watching one of the best short comic pieces by the universal playwright Anton Chekhov.
