I didn’t want to look at them anymore I wanted it to be obver but I couldn’t look away. They called to me They wanted me as much as I wanted them I picked up the little box that would be my death and Pulled one out and lit it the smoke raced down my lungs and I sighed sweet releif.

dirty, filthy and gross. brown and white with death inside. stinks and makes me gag. gross. not sure why people smoke them either. it’s weird that you’d want to put your lips to a cancer stick.

I love smoking at night. The way the smoke rises from the end of my cigarette makes me feel restless and envious. I want to be that smoke. I want to wind and whisper above the heads of men. Above the lips of jealous women in shaded rooms. I want to move and twirl endlessly in the dark…and slowly fade. Fade away into history.
Jaclyn
I hate the smell of cigarettes. Every time I see someone with one, I want to scream at them, “don’t you realize what you are DOING to yourself?! And to others?!” And do you know what bugs me most? When I walk by, it smells like cigarettes, and there’s nobody to scream at. That REALLY ruins my day.
Lizzie Bellows
my dad smokes. Like crazy. He never stops. What’s sad is that they make him happy. So I can’t ask him to stop, really. It’s like taking away a puppy. Even though the puppy is killing him. It’s actually very depressing. I know you think I’m cliche. And I am. But it’s my dad. I only have one. And I love him.
Emma
She throws the cigarette butt on the ground, stepping on it as the fire extinguishes under her weight. She wanted the smoke to carry away her worries and her sorrows, but they vanish in her nose and suffocate her lungs instead of saving her from the miseries of her life.
Annie
cigarette. it’s a time bomb waiting to be set off. once you got it, it never goes away. but the feeling, the addiction, is what we live for. the adrenaline. the rush. it calms. a cigarette.
anonymous
I smoke cigarettes. I perfer to smoke marlboro milds. They are menthol cigarettes. I like them. Been smoking them since I was 14.
Jacob Stalter
Cigarettes are gross. They smell so bad and I honestly can’t tell how anyone can stand them, but obviously people can because it’s a multi-million dollar industry. Tobacco fields are everywhere in North Carolina. I don’t really understand it, but addiction must be a hard thing to break.
Greyson
i think it’s funny that some many people smoke cigarettes. i enjoy them too so i can’t be a hypocrite, but i can’t help but feel it’s done to be cool. Which is i guess why i don’t keep it up, because i hate feeling like i can’t even pretend to myself. My friend smokes randomly but somehow i feel like she just does it to almost brag. Eh that’s how it is i suppose. It’s a great way to meet people.
fabienne
cigarette is tobacco. its so bad for you. it creats lung cancer. people smoke cigarettes. i had nicotine in it. my mom smokes cigarettes. i hate cigarettes. ew. its so addicting. cigarettes are nasty. wow. cigarettes are bad for you body. there are like a poision. lots of kids at school smoke them.
Carolina
After her family leaves, Cynthia spins a cigarette between her fingers like a small baton and stares out the window of her hospital room, mildly hating everyone and everything. She’s so intent on maintaining a constant degree of hatred that she doesn’t notice Royce enter the room, pick up the remote and change the channel to America’s Top Model.
Ciara
Freudian oral fixation phallic symbol. Used to inhale burning tobacco, usually to curb hunger or to quench an addictive fix to nicotine.
Dan Collins
Nastiest things on the earth. Killers. Why would anyone want to smoke them they are bad, unhealthy and taste bad. But secretly I ever so slightly want to do them!
kevdawg
i hate smoking it makes me feel like death is sooner. i wish people close to me would understand that i care about them and try a little harder. i know its not easy but when u don’t even try that makes me sad. i remember when i was important.

You know its bad, you know it’ll kill yet its just like jumping off a plane. You are jumping off a perfectly stable plane, jumping out of it with not even knowing your parachute will open. When you take that lighter and light that cigarette its just like jumping off a plane, you might die, or you might not.
Courtney Love
The cigarette burned between her fingers as she inhaled the crisp night air around her.
“Are you going to smoke that?” I ask, watching as the ashes fall to the ground. She shrugs.
“Eventually.”
“Sort of a waste, don’t you think?” I continue. She closes her eyes and a strange smile crosses her face before she turns to look at me.
“Don’t start smoking babe,” she says, “It doesn’t solve nearly as much as you think it does.”
Jessy
I really shoudn’t smoke, but now that I’m away from home and in another country I dont see why not. I know its a bad habbit, but it helps me meet people. Make friends. It’s a smokers creed. Don’t judge me, everyone needs a vice.
smoking
The first of the day? no, the after meal one. perhaps the one before bed. She pondered which cigarette was her favorite as she mashed the butt into the ash tray. She knew the answer- she hated all of them. Even before they told her- you have cancer.

Really? This is the only word? I’m guessing an anti-smoking campaign is behind this. But I’ll take the bait. Here’s what I think about cigarettes. Cigarettes aren’t going away any time soon. Don’t you think everybody knows cigarettes are bad? Obviously people don’t care as long as it makes them happy for the moment. The NOW is what is most important to the modern generation. Instant = bliss. Just think of everything we can have in a blink of an eye- food, entertainment, beauty, money. Why think of what could happen when you can experience what IS happening? So cigarettes might give you lung cancer in the future, but right now they’re giving you a nicotine rush that is freakin’ great. I’m tired of anti-smoking commercials attempting to “open our eyes” to the evils of smoking. Our eyes are open. Open your own eyes- you can’t stop people from doing what they want to do (unless of course you want to live in a totalitarian society), and what they want to do is be happy in the moment. Simply telling them smoking is bad for them will not help. Even showing them future consequences won’t matter to most. Unless you can convince them that cigarettes will not contribute to their present happiness, you will probably fail. It’s a worldview issue, and that, my friend, is not something that won’t be solved by a few commercials, however sincere they might be.

the cigarettes smoke blew threw the air as Justin Michaelson set down his cup of coffee to take another wiff.
Malea
Cigarettes are dumb. I mean really. Small smoking devices? Heck, marijuana at least makes you feel good (If I’m correct). And cigars have a place and time.
Doug
cigarettes are bad for you and I do not like the smell. Although they may make you look cooler there is no point in looking cool if you are dead. Though I guess that’s not exactly true, james dean prolly looked cool when he died.
Griffin
I hate smoke. Makes me crazy. I’m a smoke magnet, just as a kicker. I stumbled upon this website and I’m not sure where this is going. Still, I’m game and open. Not for cigarette smokers. OK, I admit it: I’m from California. But obviously, we are on to something if even in Paris now, you can’t smoke inside. I rest my case. Except that it hasn’t yet been a minute. OK. Almost
Elizabeth
Smoking, blech. My parents smoked cigarettes for years. My dad, I believe, until he died. I hate the things. The smell makes my stomach turn. I remember going to school and reeking of smoke. The kids who taunted me. Made fun of the way I smelled. How was I supposed to change that. I hated it. I wish I had never had parents who smoked.
Andrea
i smoke more then a pack a day now. i dont even like them there just a way to pass the time now. i feel like there is nothing in life worth doing anymore other then to smoke and drink coffee is there? im no sure any more.

Ah the old cancer stick. I know it’s a cliche kinda name, but someone said it one time and it stuck.
I sit and reflect with the cancer between my fingers, trying to figure who called it that first. I think maybe Allan, with those boyish features and large liquid eyes. But he bit the dust long ago like we’re all just waiting to do.
I transfer the cancer to my lips and draw it in, and keep on waitin’
keep
keep on
keep on waiting
keep on
waitin’ on
as time slips and flickers like an old faded film.

pants. long long legs. short sharp hair. cloud of love dust floats up the air, into the face of a lost seaman. wanting love. wanting those hot smokey lips up against his neck; his heart. longing, longing for that class of a woman…

I have never taken a single drag of a cigarette. It was one of three goals in life. The first, to lose my virginity to a virgin: Check. The second, to be in a music video: Check. And the third: Check. I’ts turned out to be a rather dull life.

i smoke them o boy i smoke them, all day and all night til a my stomach it hurt. I smoke them in the morning and night, before a meal or after, drinking alcohol, smoking some treeeeees :) cigarette is good . but also they hurt, my throat sore
Austin
It’s your choice, really. Plenty of people see the world as a funbox, I know I do. I’d rather do something more fun though, like have sex. If I smoke, a lot of people don’t like that. I would, but only if the repurcussions were less. I wish they were, I’d love to. Still, I’d go nowhere with them wasting my money.

i scrambled for a cigarette
a light
a little ash sparkle on the dashboard
in the sky
light up my face
your hands
cupped like feathers
over a dead birds breast
dead birds
a trend in our neighborhood
like smoke
like ash
like me

cigarette. Isn’t there some other definition for this? I mean…. Hmmm… OH MY GOSH. The word makes sense now. Cigars are those huge ones. Cigar…ette — small. Cigarette — small cigars. WOW. Duh, uhh… okay now im done a bit early
Riku
addiction at its finest, a cigarette is all i need.
to get me by, to get me high
to satisfy my earthly needs.
i crave it, yes i want it.
but do i need it? ill never know.
one more day to pass me by
this nicotine is my white powdered blow.

Ew I hate smoking, my mom does it and I always tell her to stop. It’s expensive and gross; such a turn off in a guy too. Ew, that really grosses me out when you can taste smoke in a kiss.
