Cancer sticks being smoked one after the other

Hacking dry cough wracking her small petit frame

Acrid blue smoke clouds an enclosed windowless room

Irritating invisible fumes clog up all the sinuses

Noxious odorous smells permeating throughout the clothing

Smoking the cigarette down all the way to the short filter

Mood swings control her attitude when she is out of cigarettes

Oh, how she wishes she could quit smoking these nasty things

Kicking the habit is the hardest thing she's ever tried to do

Everyone is full of advice on how to best quit smoking

Raspy voice asking for another light.

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Addiction is seriously so detrimental and never easy to come out of!
