Nicotine

Nicotine burning, supplying the air with a bad taste
Smell of sulfur lingers for an eternity reminding us all
Of the flame it once held
Chemistry working on the body in undesirable ways,
Side effects and blackening lungs all for
3.79 A pack.
A clear labeled warning suggesting you toss the money you just spent
Brown flavored tobacco wrapped up in a white paper shell,
Packed in with chemical additives that make it
Nearly impossible to quit.
Brands and flavors spark the variety of ways
To burn off taste buds
White paper, brown tobacco, black ingredients
To kill the lungs,
Orange fingers and yellow teeth, a bad smell you can’t wash away
But hey it’s so cool to hold that while lie, grand money making scheme, population killing machine in the fingers of your hand.
