In a game of chance the other night
Ole dame fortune was doing me right
Those kings and queens just kept on comin' round'

My Great-Grandmother told me that "Smoking was a filthy habit" and that it would "stunt my growth". Of course she didn't have much schoolin'.

A friend of mine switched about a year ago too. It seems to work as he no longer "smokes".

Nicotine slaves are all the same
In a bettin' party or a poker game
Everything's got to stop while they have that cigarette!

that cartoon gets the message across without all the 'holier than thou' preachiness. therefore it seems to me it would be alot more effective.

i haven't smoked in about a year and a half. The only time i want a cigarette is when i see anti-smoking stuff or when i watch Mad Men.
