All the big companies are in it for only one reason, money
You don't realize it but it's killing you, Honey.
Why does anyone ever start?
Peer pressure? Just to fit in? Stress?
There is no benefit the truth is its just not smart.

They said it was fine, it gives you good felling
Whether it's feeling cool or high, it's a sense of healing
Your only young once and everyone wants to be accepted
You can be the smarter one or the one that gives in
Because as you grow older, its what you expected

We all get in situations where we don't know what to do
So think of the right thing to do for just a second or two
We've all seen the warnings, which we choose to ignore
You've said to yourself it will be fine and it won't happen to me
So stop and think before you end up begging for just one more

So sit and think about the one life you get
Before you begin something you regret
You have nothing to gain but everything to lose,
Such as confidence, trust, self respect and health
But odds are that if you start smoking, you won't be looking so hot!

the killer is known. we just keep him hidden. no one wants to look truth in the face. it's blinding.

You've got a good thing going here, but it still needs quite a bit of work.
