Not a poem, but a quote;
"A custom loathsome to the eye, hateful to the nose, harmful to the brain, dangerous to the lungs, and in the black, stinking fume thereof nearest resembling the horrible Stygian smoke of the pit that is bottomless."  ~James I of England, A Counterblaste to Tobacco, 1604
 
Sums it up quite nicely I thought....

Emphysema Dad
Each breath makes your chest shudder
My heart, a knife, a stab
As you try and take another

 

Emphysema Dad
When can we go and play
I'm only a young lad
Don't leave me Dad, please stay

 

Emphysema Dad
To me you are fantastic
But here on this clip pad
You're just one more statistic

 

Emphysema Dad
There's a guy in the next bed
Got gangrene, so he's had
An op - he's lost his leg

 

Emphysema Dad
Don't smoke, you said, it's dum
The waste, the pain, it's sad
And cancer claimed your Mum

 

Emphysema Dad
Being cool was one big lie
It's a suicidal fad
I love you Dad, goodbye

New here

Welcome aboard!! This is a great place to be when you start on the journey to being free. I smoked 40 - 50 a day and I just stopped. I found drinking water a big help and every craving I felt was just the death of the nicotine monster.  The people in this forum are awesome and I found the support a huge help. You are about to start the greatest journey to...FREEDOM!!!!!

Ten years smoke free

This site was a huge help and I would encourage newbies to hang in....by the way ..I spent the $$ I had saved by taking my wife, 3 daughters,1 son-in-law and 2 grandaughters to Anaheim/L.A./San Deigo for 2 weeks!!!!! You can do it!!!!!!
