If you do not smoke,
you escape a number of illnesses
that follow that raajasik practice.
Any intoxicant or stimulant,
because it disturbs nature's trend, is harmful.
Smoking destroys health,
happiness, energy and even charm.
Smoke will not quench
your thirst or fill the hungry stomach.
It disfigures your face
and denigrates your lungs.
It debilitates you and makes you diseased.
Control yourself
and do not yield
to the snares of friends or society,
or what is miscalled social convention,
and become a prey to this and other bad habits.
