The document draws a metaphor comparing smoking or crack cocaine addiction to opening an A4 paper pack and pulling out sheets. It suggests that indulging in either just once can lead down a slippery slope, as it becomes easier to continue each time without much effort. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of defining one's principles and drawing a clear line to stay safe.

marginal cost analysis, as some of my former
classmates have done, you’ll regret where you
end up. You’ve got to define for yourself what
you stand for and draw the line in a safe place.”
