DO YOU OWE YOUR SOUL TO THE CIGARETTE STORE

[leelu]

You know they grow tobacco in Richmond, and they know you have a nicotine addiction.

Cigarette companies are banking on the nicotine addiction-making billions, employing millions, stacking the odds against you.

There was a man who lived on the streets -
he held his cigarette butts between his teeth,
and the cigarette company rolled their sheets and sprayed them with nicotine.

Cigarette companies are banking on the nicotine addiction-making billions, employing millions, stacking the odds against you. The ante is high, the winner is the owner of your life.

The cigarette company raises the price, they are betting on your life.
Yes, the cigarette company has the upper hand as long as you keep smoking.

Don’t you see, the fight is fixed, the dice are loaded, but you can beat the odds and quit.

So, sing it loud, sing it proud, “You don’t owe your soul to the cigarette store".

DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR QUIT.

Good to see you!  I quit on July 4, too - although about 6 years before you!

I own my soul, my money, my time, my current health and my presence in my life - and Big Tobacco DOESN'T! 

Glad they don't own you anymore, either!

Cigarette companies donate money to the most influential people you and I know to keep them from being shut down . Look it up . It's not that surprising to me the things I've researched . 

Pretty shifty what they do , who they pay to go indirectly and slyly through others to put money in their bank .   People like this have no conscience.  They have no soul , they are evil . 

Its critical for smokers especially to do their research on these things do we can uncover their deceitfulness that's killing people everywhere . It won't stop , even tho millions are quitting many more are starting . Education starts with research then spreading the news . 

They will not get another cent from me and me and I won't stay quiet .

Well I used to smoke, then I got clean

Started up too young, I was just a teen

Finally figure it out, finally got wise

Stopped paying attention to the nicotine lies

Well, a pack a day an whaddit I get

Black old  lungs and deeper in debt

I finally gave up, don't do that no more

Stopped givin' my soul to the cigarette store.
