A recent online interaction between poet Nurlan Esenqulov and renowned cultural figure Jursin Yerma has ignited a lively debate among internet users. While Esenqulov shared a video of himself reciting a poem dedicated to Yerma، the focus for many viewers quickly shifted to Yerma's hand، where a cigarette was visible.

Poem Recitation Takes a Backseat

Nurlan Esenqulov posted the clip on his social media، accompanying it with a caption explaining that he was reciting his poem dedicated to the great grandfather "Keiki Batyr" to Yerma. He expressed regret that the video was short and encouraged followers to read the full poem below. However، the majority of online comments bypassed the poetry، zeroing in on the cigarette held by Jursin Yerma.

Mixed Reactions to Smoking Revelation

The public's reaction to seeing Yerma with a cigarette was varied. Some users commented on his apparent well-being، suggesting he looked better off while smoking. Others expressed concern about the ash potentially falling. Online comments included sentiments like، "I was worried the ash might fall،" "Whatever he does looks good on him،" and "He seems to be doing well، considering he's smoking." One user questioned why the recitation couldn't wait until he finished his cigarette.
