I am the chief head shrink for a tobacco firm <br />And the most important thing from me that they want to learn <br />Is how to make you stay a smoker, never give them up <br />Until you're on your death bed, and with them still in love <br /> <br />Firstly, you must always think that they give you great enjoyment <br />That is how tobacco firms will always have employment <br />Then you must think that your health doesn't mean so much <br />You have to lose contact with reality just a touch <br /> <br />Next you must believe that right now is never a good time <br />And always have many reasons to support the continuation of this pastime <br />Better yet, if you can think it a complete impossiblity <br />To never smoke again, then for sure you'll never be free <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2006)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-to-stay-a-smoker/
