Lighting Up

Smokers light up for various reasons, Stress, anxiety, savoring a meal or seasons, Yet, rarely do they think of the harm it creates in their bodies, hacking coughs that require more than hot toddies, Cigarette smoke and tobacco breeds cancer, The relaxation it brings can never qualify for a plausible answer, Yoga and meditation may have the same effect, the difference is, they don't send people to quicker deaths....... Lighting up rarely brings joy in the end, especially if you have to watch a body ridden with cancer at its last moments before death.
