"It’s Easy to Quit Smoking. I’ve Done It a Thousand Times".

[Liliputian]

"Fucking boring, isn't it?"
Jesus Christ I laughed so hard

[thomasbruinsma]

So I guess, watching this video over and over and over and over again is like *trying* to stop smoking. Same problem, same expectation, same result.

[thomaskaldahl]

He can find the secret of the universe, but cannot quit smoking. That really says something

[Nobody-gwhh]

so the metaphor is that only you can help yourself to quit smoking ? Right?

[GrapeThePurpleCat]

just pause the video and he will forever be stuck looking at the cigarette i did that for 2 hours

[chistinelane]

Every time i watch this I try a little harder.

One day I will help you friend 🥺

This cannel ranges from teaching morals to young kids to dropping the F bomb.

I got so into this. :P
My grandpa died recently of lung cancer brought on by smoking, my daddy smokes and it breaks my heart, so does my older brother. So, I was really hoping that the thing actually wouldn't continue to smoke and that there was a way to interact with the video. XP
When I saw the second cigarette, I held my cursor in the way. Dumb, I know.
But then 1:14 happened and I got jump scared! :D

[sciddlyboogly]

I think the bit where he says, you failed, is reminiscent of smokers blaming others for there addiction, for example media or the companies themselves

[Jokaanan]

If you play the video again and stop it before 1:11 you can stop him from smoking :)

[MrArchieRoberts]

Love these, hope there are more on the way?

[Nicole-zwpz]

The fact that this guy is responsible for much of the TOM series is hard to wrap my head around. But in a good way, you know?

[ceedeeplayer]

results: don't even start smoking, you'll be condemned forever

[dinglemcspringlefairy]

so that's what happens when a floating head eats a cigarette

[CombraStudios]

giving hope to smokers who lost it since may 12th 2015

[AnimatorDevronBliss]

If only I had something that activates an invisible force field encasing the cigarette and it stopped him

[armorgamsees]

as soon as the smoke pops up, dont pause, just skip to 1:26

[GavinPressley-mc]

AND THIS RIGHT HERE is why I don't

[BellserTheOne]

I’m not a smoker. But I’m making sure that anyone, anybody who wouldn’t smoke!
