I convinced someone
to quit smoking yesterday
I said:
"replace the need
with hard candy
non sugar
so you don't **** up
your teeth."

and then I tossed everyone
one of my hard candies.

"To break the rituals
instead of smoking after a meal
drink a tea instead
a black tea or green
stop drinking coffee as well
while you're at it."

Then I brew everyone
a hot cup of black tea.

Then I grabbed my pack
ripped in half but I took one cig out first
and I said:
"this is the most important step
to give it up. Will power."
then I grabbed
the last untouched cigarette
and broke it in half.
and said:
"this one doesn't matter as well."

I was so convincing
that this friend of mine
gave my other friend
their ounce of tobbacco.

Today I met up with the same friend
that decided to keep on smoking
the one who was safe keeping
that ounce of tobbaco
and I rolled a cigarette
out of that ounce
he told me
it was the most awful thing
he has ever seen.

the cigarrette wasn't that good
and it was not
the most awful thing I've ever done.

I just  laughed,
shrugged and said:
" I paid for his Uber
consider us even."
