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!

smoking is a habit which people start, they may forget when or how they have started it but they almost never forget to do it inspite of all what they know about the harms of smoking.
it is a really nice poem.

Aww..Thankyou for your opinion

Well written and pertinent message! As a nurse, I've seen the pain that smoking can cause. We need to reach more young people before they ever start and discourage it in movies where it's portrayed as the thing cool people do.

[Cerise]

Aww..Thankyou...very well said...it should be discouraged through movies....I wish youngsters would atleast think twice before smoking ..:)

Most of the content ( infact practically all of it) reads brilliantly, there is such drive and vigour in your words, many heart and lung specialists would fervently endorse each sentiment no doubt.....very well done to you.
