Review of The Cigarette Bath
Cigarettes, such a small thing, that can kill you. Emily LaFond tells a story about her family and smoking and how the mistakes of adults can easily become the mistakes of their children. This fictional story is very discriptive and written from the point of veiw of a an impressionable girl. Enjoy!
