Dear Cigarettes, I am writing to tell you good-bye. I know I have said this to you in the past, but this time it is final. I know you have been faithful to me in good times and in bad. You always agree with me. You never talk back. You are there when I am lonely, happy, sad or just bored. I thought we were really close, but a close friend does not give you black lungs or terrible breath. A good friend does not hurt your heart or clog your arteries. A good friend does not keep at you until you finally give in. I have finally come to the conclusion that I don't need something like you in my life. In fact I really hate you. I hate what you have done to me, my family and my friends. I can't wait to feel normal again. To smell good again. I thought I would miss you but I will not miss you one little bit. I don't need you because I am a non-smoker now the rest of my life. Goodbye and good riddance.
