What was the man going to do according to the conversation? [br] [originaltext]

W: What should we do about the animals while we’re on vacation?
M: I was thinking of asking our neighbour, Ray, to take them in. But, we’ve got three cats and a dog. It’s really a lot to ask.
W: Yeah, it is. You know, there’s a pet motel on Portland Avenue. I’ll go online and look for reviews about the place.

M: Things are changing, however. Smoking rates are dropping all around the world. Just the other day there was a newspaper report that said New Zealand is raising prices on a pack of cigarettes to US $ 15 by the year 2016!
W: US $ 15!? Wow! That’s really expensive. But is there any proof that high prices are a deterrent?
M: There have been quite a few studies that show that every time a country raises cigarette taxes and prices, a certain percentage of smokers quit.
