I see you there… I see you in the corners of buildings, at the gas station, at your own homes. And I wonder, how can you do that to yourself? Do you know what it does to you? Do you care?
I never had that ability; I have to fight just to breath in gym, or anywhere. I have to carry an inhaler with me wherever I go, just in case. I have to watch where I put myself, just to make sure I can breathe. I can’t be around bonfires to long; my cat makes me wheeze from time to time and there you are-smoking. You who had perfect, beautiful lungs from the start, you who didn’t have to watch how fast you ran. Why?! Why would you give away a gift like that? Why would you throw away that? I’d give anything to have beautiful lungs, ANYTHING! To be able to run without wheezing, to be able to be around the animals I love all the time! I’m gonna have to have an inhaler in my pocket at my job when I grow up! And there you are, and it hurts me so terribly to see that. I’m always wondering what if. What if I had perfect lungs? What if I didn’t have to worry about wheezing! I never got the chance to have that! I was diagnosed with Asthma when I was small and helpless, when I still could run and laugh. Now it’s hard for me to even work out without an inhaler, AND YOUR WASTING YOUR BEAUTIFUL LUNGS BY SMOKING! I know it’s addictive! I’m not ignorant. But why start.
I smell something in the air, something not right. I ask if you’ve been smoking, and you stand there and smile, JUST STAND THERE AND SMILE FOR ME, DON’T TELL ME THE TRUTH I ALREADY KNOW! I care about you… I don’t want you to wheeze like I do. Sometimes I’m too afraid to ask, sometimes I don’t need to-‘cause the smells proof enough. What made you think that smoking was okay? Because other people do it? They’re hurting themselves, and they’re hurting their loved ones. Ever hear of secondary cancer? You give that to people when you smoke around them for a while. Be it your kids, your co-workers, your neighbors- YOU DO THAT TO THEM? You give them a greater dieses then grief AND YOU DARE SAY YOU CARE ABOUT THEM! What about us asthmatics! Huh? Us who never had the chance for healthy lungs? How can you smoke?
Is it the flavor? Getting high? To relax? Chew gum, laugh a little, do yoga! Something! There are better things to do then smoke and ruin yourself. I worry when I see my loved ones smoke; I worry when I see a stranger smoke… But that’s just an asthmatics opinion. Ask no one, or ask someone healthy if you don’t see what it does to others. Please, just don’t kill yourself for a cigarette of cigar.
