He took one cigarette and inhaled it very fast. Then he took another one. He coughed and coughed again. The nervousness was clear. He tried to open the window to smell the fresh air, but he was not able to. Then he thought of reaching the phone to call her. That was also a failure. Then he thought seriously of opening the window, but to his surprise, he could not and his limbs seemed to fail him too. He began to cough again and again. His body began to shiver. His doctor had, thousand times, told him to stay away from smoking.
He tried to drag himself towards the direction of the door. Nothing, he knew that his days were coming to an end. A time for reminiscence. The face of his wife appeared in front of him holding his head to give him the medicine. He used to smoke cigarettes excessively, more than was necessary. As the matter of fact, smoking is not necessary. He used to light the cigarettes with the end of the previous one. One after the other. He did not stop smoking only during meals or if he was drinking something, but apart from that his whole time was spent smoking. Driving his car, buying his needs, taking a shower, talking to his family or friends. during duty hours.
His friends tried to tell him that was not healthy and it might lead to a serious disease. They did not know that it leads to the cancer of the lung which he had thirteen months ago. When his wife came back from work he had already passed out. The cigarette butts were surrounding him while he lay there.

Excellent!
I enjoyed this sentence 'He used to light the cigarettes with the end of the previous one.' - such a heavy smoker!
"Smoking is injurious to health' it is printed on cigarrets boxes with picture of throat cancer. But no effect. Very sadly the young generation of my country smoking habtually and destroying their life even in schooling stage. Very sad.
Dear Dara, Well said life reality.
Nicely written, and Thanks for sharing
Well Done!
That's too sad, Sir. This excessive habit could be cured by understanding, while the people around him failed to do it. Anyway, this rarely happen. But, some smokers don't hear the others.
Vitamy Rysperski! May God have mercy on her soul and so your father. I noticed that some people drink the yellowness of the egg and then vomit to remove some of the smoke in their lungs. Thanks for your time.
Oi there,
Dara Gino, nawijasz stary banialuki! My late mother-in-law [POHS] was a heavy smoker and died at the age of 94 due to complications after a broken thigh bone. My dad died in his late 50's although he never smoked.....I've been smoking since I was 13, and am still smoking in my mid 70's......
Ifcharisto Evangelina! The reader from the first time, feels that you write from deep inside your heart. By the way, my uncle finishes three packages of cigarette daily. I told hm that was bad for his health. He wouldn't listen. Hey Eva, thanks for calling me sweet, and thanks for your time too.
Kimon achen afro? My respected teacher. I am glad about your recommendation about goat milk for my son Mohammad. It's nice to let others ponder about it. thanks for your time.
Ap jaldi jaldi samajgiya, Abiba. Main sakreet noshi pasand nahi. Thanks for your time.
