    Here lies a boy by the name of Seth.
    His lungs became as black as death.
    He started smoking when he was eight.
    Now he’s suffered a horrible fate.

  2. RIP Brandon Roke
    A man who loved to smoke
    He smoked several packs a day
    Causing an internal fray
    Now Brandon Roke has gone away

    This relates to what we are learning in Biology because we took notes about how bad smoking is for your body. Smoking can cause damage to the respiratory system, including bronchitis, emphysema, and lung cancer. These problems can lead to an early death.

  3. Here lies Jerry and Jen
    They started smoking at the age of one
    but would have been better of chewing bubble gum

    Here lies Jerry and Jen
    They kept smoking until they were ten
    now they wish they hadnt done that then

  4. Here lies Jan and Dean
    Who got addicted to nicotine
    They gave up their breath
    To smoke rings of death
    And the cancer that came in between.

  5. Here lies Brooke
    She started smoking at age eight
    She tried to quit now, but it was too late
    A couple packs a day, was all it took
    She would have been better off reading a book
    Now she is in the hospital, laying in a bed
    Wishing she had listened to what everyone said.

  6. Your friends are cool
    You are hanging out at the pool
    They passed around a ciggerette
    What you just did, now you regret.

  7. Here lies the man Edwardo,
    who was most addicted to nicotine
    and tobacco.
    For thirty-four years he smoked,
    he smoked a pack a day.
    Then, one day in his fourty-sixth year
    his lungs clogged up and he did choke.
    Now here Edwardo's body lies,
    slowly wasting away.

  10. Here lies a boy named Nick.
    Smoking made him become very sick.
    He started when he was twenty-four.
    Now he lays dead on the floor.
