[Cigarettes] A spark of flame Is all to blame As you draw your life away With Wednesday’s pay and your face Lost in a cloud of smoke You accidentally choke Before you exhale, Fingers yellow and pale From harmful fumes Born from plants that dare not bloom and Your eyes begin to water And the flame still burns like a mortar Regardless of the advice to quit You build up some saliva and manage to spit That tobacco taste out on the ground, Cancer is just around The corner and yet you still Manage to fill Your body with that stuff. With each and every puff. You think you’re cool, Girls reckon you’re a tool. Perhaps it is time to put it out. |

From my own personal experience with my lung problems, which are getting worse every day....I would agree. And, what is so bad about it, is that even though I have to use oxygen now, I STILL crave cigarettes sometimes. I haven't smoked since 1976, but my doctors say once the damage is done to a person's lungs, they don't repair themselves like a person's heart can. Doctors say I have asbestosis, but I still believe most of my lung damage was caused from the almost 3 packs a day that I smoked before I quit. As I said up there, one of the sad things of this addiction to cigarettes is that if I wasn't afraid they would affect my breathing even more, I would most likely smoke a cigarette today! It's so sad, isn't it? |
