To get a non-smoker to smoke is an achievement. As part of a research project, we were interviewing a Bedouin leader, not far from the Suez Canal. He was organizing a wedding and invited us. We observed him personally distributing food among each and every visitor, displaying his hospitality and leadership. After the wonderful food, he offered me a cigarette to smoke with him. Because I did not want to turn down his generous gesture and spoil the ceremony, I accepted it. He lit it for me, sat next to me and we smoked. He studied my unpractised smoking for some time and then asked if I smoked. I shook my head emphatically, whilst continuing nonetheless. On this picture you see their response. This friendly atmosphere created excellent conditions for an open interview. How can you achieve a similar ‘rapport’ in your interviews?
