Why Don't They?

​
If a non-smoker feels anxious or feels rather sad
They won't suck on a fag because they think that that's mad
If a non-smoker is lonely or has been quite frightened
They won't pull out a gasper, because they're enlightened
 
When a non-smoker rises from their bed every morning
They won't think of a fag and it's not because of the warnings
If a non-smoker needs to pass an hour or two
They won't have a cigarette, because it's something they'd never do
 
Why do they never, no matter how they're feeling
Turn to a cigarette, an object thought healing
By those who smoke them at the drop of a hat
Why do they never, can you tell me that?
 
I'll tell you the reason, it's one to remember
They do not perceive a fag as anything tender
Would you turn to a smelly, disgusting, poisonous weed
If you were in trouble, that'd be a very strange creed
