your life, gone prematurely
in a dirty fog.

Thank you so much, I know how you feel, my grandfather used to smoke. He died of lung cancer at a very young age, I wrote this for him.

So true and so sad. My dad and grandmother smokes, and it's a terrible thing. I have friends who smoke too, and I'd be in tears, balling my eyes out if any of them every died because of it. Amazing haiku, and it really hit me.
