Mancini: Balotelli can continue smoking if..

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini says he can't stop striker Mario Balotelli from smoking.
　
The Italian said: 'My patience for him is endless.
　
'I haven't told him to stop. I don't smoke. I don't like to smoke. If he wants to smoke that is his problem. It is his life.
　
'If he wants my opinion it is better that he finishes. But if he smokes 10 cigarettes a day and scores two goals in every game, it is better.'
