What are your thoughts on smoking?!

The world thought it was bad and in poor taste when cigarettes appeared in the late teens and early twenties but soon the world was smoking and it became all the rage until we started quitting in droves in the 90's and 2 oughts!. Then the world thought it was bad!.
There used to be a wonderful poetess named Po3ticMi$tr3$$ and she would post real pretty poems here on Y/A and sometimes she would write about the damage she had dome to her lungs and her family and here poetry by smoking, but she like me knew that once addicted it was harder to kick than any other drug because is is right there, in the checkout line; in your face at the door of any non-smoking establishment and it is cheaper than any street drug know to man!.
When I came on Y/A I was wondering which of us would go first, but God chose to give me a little more time on the planet and Po3ticMi$tr3$$ stopped posting and when I click on her profile I get a polite little message informing me that the information is not readily available as if she just stepped out, but I know she passed away without so much as a sigh here on Y/A so this is my chance to write her epitaph and say goodbye!. So I will leave you with one that I saved!.

Dear Santa,
How are you this year!?
I've been a real good boy
I was in remission and
Would like a 'tinker' toy

Mum's helping write this letter
So it gets to you on time
Besides, there are big words to learn
and I haven
