Cigarette 🚬

In the dimly lit corner of a café, the faint glow of a cigarette seemed to whisper secrets of the past. Its smoke curled lazily into the air, painting fleeting patterns that dissolved as quickly as they formed. For some, it’s more than just a habit; it’s a ritual, a moment of solitude amidst chaos. The act of lighting one feels almost ceremonial—striking a match, watching its flame dance before it meets the tip. Each puff carries weight, a silent conversation with oneself or perhaps the universe. Yet, beneath its allure lies a bitter truth. The scent lingers long after the last ember fades, clinging to clothes and memories alike. It’s a paradox: beautiful yet harmful, comforting yet toxic. As society progresses, the allure diminishes, replaced by awareness of its dangers. Still, for many, the cigarette remains an iconic symbol—a reminder of simpler times, when life moved slower and choices were fewer. Whether you see it as art or hazard, there’s no denying its undeniable presence in our collective history. 🌫️
