To smoke or not to smoke? That is the question. Whether it's more noble in the hearts of smokers to puff away than to suffer the slings and arrows of everyday misfortune.
Or to put on a nicotine patch and quit the nasty habit. Who opposes then in that? To die of cancer: to suffocate. The heart attacks and the thousands of chemicals inhaled. Or bodies are heir to this consumption. Devoutly to be smoked. To die or get cancer, perhaps emphysema: yes, there is the rub; for in those diseases death is just a breath away. When we have destroyed our mortal body, we must pause and look back at our neglect. That makes smoking a calamity for all our life.; For who would bear the agony of such diseases. The oppressed wrong or the tobacco companies? Those who love us, lawyer fees, the burden of all who love us. The patient in the hospice waiting to die.
When we ourselves gasp for breath.
Shall we light up one last time?

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, my meter creeps it's way from day to day. And all my smokes have lit my way to dusty death.
Out, out, damed lighter! Tobacco's just a creeping shadow, which burns our lungs to cinders, And then is see no more.

LOL Flo. Yes you are. Dot wrote hers, so she's to be patted on the back for her cleverness. On the other hand, I just cut and pasted from Quit Net.
