Smoking

Why do people smoke? Gives them bad breath causes death.
Makes you age, makes you wrinkle makes you stink a little.
Gives you yellow teeth, makes you unable to breathe.
You can't even smoke in a bar anymore they cost a helluva lot even
at a grocery store. I used to like to smoke until the cost of them went up and cough so hard in the morning until i threw up. I hate smoking and glad i quit i hate the habit and glad i got rid of it.

Good for you! I wish I could do the same. For me, it provides a false sense of control and momentary relief from daily life. It is a terrible habit and definitely a mind over matter subject. I enjoyed your poem. Nicely written and made me giggle at the stupidity of the matter.
