Smoking is like a disease that you can't escape. Sure you get over it for a while but what happens if you get too tempted or you can't help yourself. You're right back to where you started. Its a forest fire in your lungs that you can't put out. Its a ghost that haunts you until you give in and take a drag. "Just one drag and that's it" you'll say to yourself, but one drag turns into two and then three and before you know it you're out buying a pack of these cancerous sticks with your last bit of money. I've seen people waste their money on these demons instead of feeding themselves and their children. "I don't know where all my money goes" you'll say to your partner trying to hide the fact that you know exactly where it all goes. It goes into cigarettes. You'll waste $100+ on cigarettes instead of food for your family or clothes for your kids. Its a monster that never goes away.




A/N
I wrote this about my mother and father who continuously spend every last bit of our money on cigarettes and alchohol.
