Hah I like this -I've always told myself that I should never say "I need a cigarette" but "I want a cigarette" the better to avoid tying having one together with any notion of feeling better or relieved. I never inhale past a certain point -I can't do those deep lung inhalations...sounds like you've managed to beat the system here!!!

I have to chuckle and think of all the people who say they tried it but didn't inhale. :) It's fun reading something a little lighter in your life. I like how you set the poem up - nice delivery.

... exceptional.....

Way to capture a special moment, the thrill is captured in the short lines, and is shared with all your readers I am sure...and how wonderful an occurance, your lungs must be rejoicing...they say the moment u stop smoking your lungs immediately begin to heal...kudos on all levels, poet sans smoke...peace, jewels
