hey there delilah what's it like in new york city

so anyone who knows me would definitely know that i am not a big fan of smoking, or tobacco products in general. i can find few things that are more disgusting than a person toting around a dr. pepper bottle of brown spit. then, a woman this made me realize something, people do not through cigarrettes away. no matter where they drop them, they pick them up, occasionally dust them off, and presumably put them back in their mouth. the woman on the bus dropped hers on floor, and then let it roll around a bit while she chatted with the bus driver. before she took her seat, she snagged the cancer roll-up.

now do not get me wrong, i like wiping my mouth on the inside of the city bus as much as the next person. well, if that next personally were legally insane and prone to hepatitus i might. since none of this applies to me, i do not worry all that much. what i fail to understand is this: smoking is one of the most harmful things you can do to yourself legally. yet people are willing to compound that by adding the swill found in the public transportation system. what makes people want to do that?

i do not want to get all preachy because i really just do not understand the allure of smoking. here is what it appears to be. people are taking leaves, smothering them in tar, wrapping it in paper, setting the whole thing on fire, and then putting it in there mouth. why does this seem healthy to anybody? all medical issues aside, did nobody else learn that in a fire, people are more likely to die from smoke inhalation than actually be burned to death. i mean they teach you that in like after you master primary colours. if you never grasped the idea that smoke is bad for you, i cannot help but think that when you are suffering from illness later in life that is all your fault. stop blaming tobacco companies. as far as i cant tell, people have been encouraging others not to smoke since grade school. more importantly, thank you for picking up you smokes because i hate litter. can you also pick up the butts and throw them away?
