Just one more puff.

Quit - STOP - CRYING.

Want - GNAW - GNAW and GNAW.

Just one ciggy more.

Been over a month or so.

Just that GNAW - GNAW.

One tiny puff more.

Beat down the door.

Crawl on the floor.

One more ciggy - more.

GNAW GNAW GNAW.

It stopped by the door.

NO - MORE

I like this one. Shows determination and the pain one has to go throught in trying to give up this habit.
Well done

I'm not a heavy user, and quit and smoke. But, some people who can't - I feel sorry. Tobacco is pleasent, but ADDICTIVE. and hard to break.

Very interesting.

Get that urge, just one puff.

LOL; 'just one more' ya that one more never ends...glad you quit, I did four years ago with not much trouble at all. I used a bit of self hipnosis; I didn't entertain the thought of smokoing when it came and plus I had really, really wanted to quit.

I only puff 1-4 a day if that. Plus, I put the tobacco in a pipe and take a puff or two. 1 cigarette lasts for hours with puffs. I start and stop. BUT, I like the lift from tobacco. JUST TELL YOUR MIND TO - QUIT. true.

Thsi really could apply to any addiction....same feeling. Very good.

True it could. BUT, tobacco has that way. In the morning with a hot cup of coffee - if you know what I mean. I'm a very light user anyway - BUT.

I quit smoking about 7 years ago. I was a pack and a half a day smoker. It was hard at first, the first month or two being the hardest. From time to time, I still think I want (need?) a cigarette. Not sure if it's a mental obsession, or if I'm still addicted after all these years of not having one. But you hit it on the nail with this poem, the struggle within of that JUST ONE MORE!

I like tobacco. BUT, I only puff in a pipe the tobacco. Like smoking grass. I smoke quit smoke quit. I hadn;t smoked in 10 years. Started with the pipe and CAMELS [my favorite ] now just quit after 8 months of puffing. BUT, I will puff again. [ A PACK OR TWO A DAY IS LIFE KILLING ] Its both physical and mental after.

VERY very very true-{"juuuust one more".

Not really. I quiet on and off. I puff 1-3 camel in a corn pipe. I was never really a smoker but with age the lift is -------

Thank you

I will show this poem to my little sister who is a slave of smoking. My husband succeded in quiting.I hated the smell of smoke not to mention the hazards of passive smoking.Being a doctor myself, I get so sad to see people so oblivious to the oncoming hazards.
well written, indeed.

I didn't smoke for years, but, in older age I enjoy 1-4 a day. I have a corn-cob pipe and smoke camel tobacco in puffs. I'll quiet again then start on and off - just to be honest. BUT 1-2 packs a day plus in youth is tragic. IMAGES, peer pressure, etc. PLUS IT COSTS $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
