Camel.

There be a day or sum of days you find yourself not attracted to people who don't smoke. But one day I found myself attracted to a girl who did smoke. She did not smoke a camel, no, she smoked something else from over seas. She was a cute person with a very unique face. She was not evil, callous or misread but just very much in her smoke. That one had to question, how could beauty of heart, mind and body be so misguided. A culture? The expectations to be cool? The ramage of western drug companies promoting smoking as a good thing??

You would never know it but, this smoking was a crack in the vase in more ways than none. People who smoke don't live long and well on average. Don't have good health. In reality, one could never know this person had any wishes to live a fulfilled long life. But maybe they just believed they would and never thought of the risks of an addiction, nope. If I saw her, I wished her the best and if not I prayed that she would stop smoking because she was too beautiful to die so horrible. Glamor of cigars, a person might say in some fault pop culture cable drama but there is none. Humans are not these dragons who can exhale and inhale smoke and the real endgame of smoking, no matter who you are is never pretty. No, its an ending of a life else spent healthier and longer and there is no reason it could not if not for dumb marketing.
