Death by cigarettes

Lungs as dark as newly bought coals
Old men’s necks bombarded with holes
Fat deposits in clogged arteries
Obscenely shown, graphic as can be

Campaigns and protests against this vice
Scaring the smokers and feeding their eyes
With statistics of health risks and deaths
Even with penalties and similar threats

Deaths with relation to this addiction
Has numbers as high as the top most peaks
Even increasing with such aggression
Clearly, the agenda don’t effectively speak

No matter how much medical facts you give

A man with self hatred will never quit the cig
