"Cigarettes Will Kill You" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee from his third studio album, Breathing Tornados (1998).
Produced by Ed Buller, the song became a breakout success for Lee.
It has also been referenced in the Axis of Awesome's song medley "Four Chord Song", a reference to the fact that the chord progression in "Cigarettes Will Kill You" is similar to that of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and Toto's "Africa".
Lee recounted how one often badly needs short-term comfort to get through an otherwise sad, frustrating life even though everyone knows that smoking can cause health problems.
In Apple's song "Sleep to Dream", Lee had thought Apple had sung "This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your TV embrace"—the real lyric being "This mind this body and this voice cannot be stifled by your deviant ways".
