I thought it was time for a repost of my favorite!!
The Smoker’s Vow
To be said just before taking your first puff
after having quit for any appreciable period of time
With this puff I enslave myself
to a lifetime of addiction.
While I can’t promise to always love you,
I do promise to obey every craving and
support my addiction to you
no matter how expensive you become.
I will let no husband or wife,
no family member or friend,
no doctor or any other health professional,
no employer or government policy,
no burns or no stench,
no cough or raspy voice,
no cancer or emphysema,
no heart attack or stroke,
no threat of loss of life or limbs,
come between us.
I will smoke you forever
from this day forth,
for better or worse,
whether richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
till death do us part!
“You may now light the cigarette.”
“I now pronounce you a full-fledged smoker.”
Postscript: While 1 in 2 marriages end in divorce, the addiction to smoking will
last a lifetime—albeit a shorter lifetime. Once a smoker, annulment of the
addiction is impossible. One puff can result in a permanent relapse. Don’t take
the chance of relapsing
to this marriage of inconvenience.
Never Take Another Puff!
