WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Put that cigarette out already, can't you see you're choking the kid?”
💡 Cultural Insight: Appealing to the Third Party

Directly telling a senior or peer to stop smoking can cause loss of face, so speakers often invoke the vulnerability of a child or apprentice as an unassailable moral reason.
