hmmm.
they used to impress upon your mind
that only "bad girls"
drink
and smoke
and have sex
so does that make me a bad girl?
well, i dont like it either.
i feel guilty about it....
thats gotta count for something, right?
because ive tried to quit
but i cannot express how much i love
sucking on that cigarette
gimme gimme
all day long
i would fuck them if i could
i love them so much
so there.

A way of capitalism.
THEY say.
Smoking is bad.
then you see this kind of
cowboy.
You think.
Who cares?
Capitalism won.
Since I realized that
I closed my mind away from
commercial attacks.
I began to drill my
cigarettes.

you smoked camel lights and I smoked marlboros, then one day, I was 18 and you were not yet, so I had to buy you some, and the lady behind the counter was my neighbor, so I bought two packs of camels and no marlboros, and smoked the camels, and I hated them at first, but now I'm up to a pack a day, and that was in June, and you live in New York now, and I never see you, but I still think about you every day as I light that morning cigarette

this is odd..
the first time i ever smoked was in eighth grade at r.'s house with t. and h. and the funny thing about it is that we had just gotten back from this pentacostal church retreat thing. so like, an hour earlier we had been singing "lord i lift your name on high" and listening to people speak in tongues.. and then whoosh there we were at her house lighting up. heh.. i dont know. i just think its hilarious. and so ironic. and especially since in eighth grade smoking is suuuuuuuch a biiiiiiiiiig deeeeeeeeaaaal..

Clove.
I take the pack out of my shirt pocket with a casual flick of my wrist.
pull one out, light it up
the sweet paper.
in the shade on the parking garage steps as the breeze comes twisting through
watch the ashes fall and dance like snowflakes as i flick them off the cherry end and the smoke spirals to heaven like a prayer

It is not the cigarette you like it is only the nicotene. Corprate fuckers took such an adictive chemical and combined it with a vehicle that kills the user and the people around the user. I wish the people I love who smoke would stop.

watching my grandmother hack and cough on sixty five years worth of tar every christmas we visited has had little effect on me. like now, as i write this, i am smoking a Marlboro cigarrette, oh the shame. i was such a nice little girl. but he still thinks i am, so i guess i could be. that or else i can cover it pretty well.

I am sorry to say that my reaction to a smoker is disgust. Even if I find the person to be attractive. Just a little insight. If you want motivation to stop, try thetruth.com.

lovers lament

paused with my cigarette an inch
from my lips
smoke tangling into my hair
your hand lazily brushes my hip
and i adore that half smile
even before i see it light your face
and although i know your heart
tonight i'll fall from grace again
an open floor of moonlight
tonight i'll kiss the stars
and become an empty twilight
and burn alongside mars
but loneliness consumes me
you'll never comprehend
an ache you couldn't fathom
sorrow has no end.
paused with the silver an inch
from my wrist
blood tangled in my veins
making sure every scar is kissed
and i adore that feeling
of a completely empty meditation
and although i know i shouldn't
it's an open invitation calling me.

i remember sitting in dennys with my portable cd player listening to jeff_buckley becoming fascinated with the smoke around me like a holy blanket. i must have looked like a cat or really stoned or something. i take the hedonist approach myself.

i count them; plan out when i'm going to smoke each one. this one's for after dinner. this one's for before rehearsal. this one for the walk back. that should get me through the day. it's almost time to throw in a pack of cloves. i miss the sweetness. i don't really care if the cancer forms faster. i only smoke a half a pack or more a day when he comes back. i have a feeling i've finally seen the last of him though.

hmm listening to y'all makes me wanna light a cig and suck it till the filter
I smoke winston and cough as I read it
I have asthma but I gave up on quitting, after all we don't get out of this life healthy anyway (especially me) my first pack was noblesse... sad I know I remember me and a friend stole it from her made, it was the first time I inhaled and it was so sunny we were completely dizzy, since then we smoked once a week, the we started smoking in school, then home alone I don't even remember how it developed but I sure know I can't stand noblesse now (no bless)
my most romantic pack was when I went to my best friend who I happen to be head over heels in love with (still) and we didn't have money so we bought a mustang pack for both of us
it was the first time we had sex
now I have a bf I don't even love
I WANT HIM BACK DAMNIT

tilted my head upwards

filled the motel room with clove smoke waiting for you to call
chasing myself around in circles trying to come up with the right thing to say
the column of smoke rising from the ashtray like a string of wasted prayers to a heaven that had long since closed its doors and moved away
then finally, at the lowest point

He told me that I was a little girl. Smoking on the porch with a drink in my hand, trying to be a grown-up.
Immediately seizing the pack and snatching away the one in my mouth.
He forgot to theorize that instead of trying to show him that I was grown-up, I was trying to show him that I was not his perfect, heavenly being, that I am capable of having vices just like his empty bottles of wine and empty girls he has used. I am no girl.

Ok ...I'm sorry, but being addicted is completly mental. I dont care what people say that is is the 2nd most addicting drug next to cocain. If you haven't quit, then you dont want to. I mean all you have to do is fill in something to do when you'd normally be smoking. For me it was driving, waiting inbetween classes, and breaks at work. Now I blast my radio and eat sunflower seeds. Yes you get crabby as hell and yes you get shakey but if you can just go 4 days. give yourself 4 days and let yourself think "I'll only smoke when I party and smoke weed".. (that is if you dont smoke weed every day already.) That's what I'm doing and I haven't smoked in a week. I was up to a pack a day and one day just quit. You will never quit by cutting down, it wont work. You have to let yourself know, that you can only smoke at certain times.. in my case it was parties. Even then, only have a few. Now I just find myself wondering why I couldn't buy just one cigarette, instead of 20, so I don't buy packs. You have to have people support you as well and dont tell them you're quiting till like 2 days later, it's much more gratifying to keep it to yourself for a little bit and then tell people "I'm quiting, I haven't had one in ___ days.. They get so proud of you. All but the ones that smoke, cuz they're jelouse.
