Smoking a day kills a life away

the prolonged pain from cigarettes and problems from its continuous usage

 

The dead would rather wish to be alive

Here you are giving it all away in vain

Ended up plotting your own death

What I ask you, will you ever gain?

One puff is all you need, to kill a creature

And boom, it becomes a bad deed

Can't you think for once, how it will harm?

The young, the old, it’s like a bad luck charm

Addicted you are and you might forever be

Are those memories so unbearable to see?

You want to forget better find another way

Solution is in front, so you had better stay

 

Cigarette is not the problem to your matter

The only thing it will ever do is kill and shatter

Think of those suffering because you are insane

Who cannot breathe, Who are in profound pain?

 

Lungs collapsed, back cut open

It sounds horrible to even be spoken

Stand up and fight diseases on your way

For humanity’s sake stop with this play......

 

AN INNOCENT CIGARETTE A DAY WILL  RUIN YOUR LIFE IN A HUGE WAY...

Author's Note

Emphysema-is a long-term, progressive disease of the lungs caused by smoking...Each one of you can contribute in a huge way by not smoking...Every time you smoke your life decreases and I believe life is very precious to waste.

I wish this could be posted on every bar and in every public window possible. Very courageous of you to write this and thank you for standing up for those who are specifically allergic to cigarette smoke. It is absolutely heartless to smoke around a child, let alone other adults. It's bad enough that there is so much pollution in so many areas of the world that one can barely see the sky. It is a terrible addiction that yellows the teeth, the nails, discolors the skin, blackens the lungs, and destroys ones own breath. The worst part is, it reeks for miles and sticks to everything. I like the way you ask your questions, the boldness of it. Thank you so much for this poem, God bless you, and hope you may be free of smoke! Honestly I really feel for those who are addicted to cigarettes, who are unable to stop even though they wish they could. They are not bad people, they really do need help. It would be interesting to see a poem showing their perspective. Still thanks again for spreading the awareness!

Smokers are hard headed. Hard to brake bad habits. I agree with your poem. Cigarette kill with each cigarette. Good flow of thoughts. The poem had purpose and reason. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

well, it's an another great poem indeed. loved it much because you've tried to show here reality...liked few lines,


Addicted you are and you might forever be
Are those memories so unbearable to see?
You want to forget better find another way
Solution is right in front, so you had better stay

Cigarette is not the problem to your matter
The only thing it will ever do is kill and shatter
Think of those suffering because you are insane
Who cannot breathe … Who are in profound pain?
Who wishes to re-write those days gone
Without any, more further complaint
.........

& to convey your message "Cigarette is injurious to health", & at last your last line was really good,

I like this...It's sad that people get hooked in this habit, only destroying their lives and others around them.

Great Job

I have no understanding of how to use my delicate brain apparently, as I puff another drag whilst reading this. It's still a good read, even though I am a slave to this habit. Message noted, brain on hold.

[Cerise]

lolz....its ok..that was just my another useless try to get someone to listen to me..make awareness not that anyone doesn't noe..still trying wudn't get me killed..:P..Thankyou..:)

[Sakshi]

Absolute delight to read this one. Infact I hit the share button and sent it to a few of my friends who smoke!! Its so hard to convince people not to, at least not when a non-smoker is around. I am an asthmatic, so it hurts more to see people ruining their perfectly healthy lungs while I try to balance my diet and exercise and take heaps of medication to keep my lungs fit.

But anyways, it was a great (emotional) read for me. Well done!

[Cerise]

Aww....Thankyou so much sakshi...true its very difficult to convince smokers to leave but if they get an actual idea of what too mcuh smoking leads to i bet nobody wud evn go near it....aww takecare of yourself...Thankyou again for such wonderful comment..:)

[ForeverNever]

Title was catchy, although this was slightly depressing, it was a nice read.

[Cerise]

Thankyou..:)

[Cerise]
