This Brilliant Poem About The Life Of A Smoker Will Hit You In The Gut

Cigarette smoking is injurious to health!

How many people who smoke have heeded this advice? By the numbers, it proves that not many. Smoking cigarettes has evolved from a secret vice, to a mild stressbuster, to a show-off tool, to a cultural habit.

In this amazing Hindi poetry by Hussain Haidry, appropriately titled “Lat” (meaning addiction) on Kommune India,  a smoker’s life is beautifully chronicled, from the first failed try right uptil the last stick on the deathbed. His words weave a happy frame and all of a sudden, it changes to a dark painting.

Stop smoking today!
