Smoke Screens Shattered Dreams

The school bathroom is filled with cigarette smoke, hold your breath or you’ll surely choke. Trying to be down with the rest of the crowd, smoking isn’t cool for crying out loud! You think smoking makes you mature? It makes you smell bad sort of like horse manure. Maybe it makes you feel like you’re cool, it’s killing you slowly don’t be such a fool. The tobacco industry has done enough, but they don’t force you to take that puff! Then when you’re sick you expect to get millions, those guys are smart they’re not the silly ones! Heart disease, lung disease and high blood pressure, the long-term effects are hard to measure. You smoke to have friends and feel like you’re grown, perhaps you’re better off just being alone. Let’s be real it’s a terrible habit, to make it worse you’re young and new at it. Do whatever it takes for you to quit, You’ll say: “I feel much better I have to admit.” Words of wisdom for me to part with, cigarette smoking don’t even start it!
