Smoking, smoking always choking
Cigarettes from mouths are poking
Lungs receive a constant stoking
Messages are thought provoking
On each packet read the warning
Light one up as day is dawning
Clouds of smoke cough as you’re yawning
First of many smoked this morning
Stubs in ashtrays make you think
Giving off an awful stink
Cough some more and make a drink
Smoke filled eyes that make you blink
Paying lots to make you sick
Prices rising very quick
Now a habit you can’t lick
I’ve heard those patches never stick
We all share your constant burn
Filling our lungs as you turn
Can’t you see our great concern?
Smoking’s bad when will you learn
