Smokers Serenity Prayer by T. Hevner

                 YOUR FRIEND THE CIGARETTE 

How do you feel about a friend that must go everywhere you do, and
is so offensive to others that you become unwelcome when with him? 

His peculiar odor sticks to you wherever you go so others think you
both stink. When he says jump, you jump. 

He makes you go to the store to pick him up whenever he wants. 

He burns holes in your clothes, and even has been known to burn
down a house. 

He makes you stand out in the lobby, so you miss the big play. 

He is expensive to support, and will never pay you a penny in return. 

He doesn't like physical activity, so he makes it hard for you to breathe.

He carries an arsenal of poisons with him, and every chance he gets,
he makes you sick. 

He has been plotting your death since the first time you met. 

He overworks your heart and lungs, clogs the arteries to  your
heart and brain, and exposes you to cancer causing  agents. 

Some friend, your cigarette.......Do you really need a  friend like this? 

Get rid of him now while you still can.
