Bill Hicks' perspective on smoking is featured as the centerpiece of this humorous yet honest discussion.

I have always been a huge fan of Stand-up Comedy. One of my favorite comedians of all time is sadly no longer with us. When he was alive Bill Hicks gained a reputation for being someone who didn’t censor himself.

He just said what the hell he wanted to say and he made a lot of people laugh in the process. He was actually more popular in the UK than he was in the USA. Bill Hicks died of cancer in 1994.

I have been a smoker for more than 15 years and I’m not proud of it. I don’t think that I’ll ever be able to quit. If you are thinking of starting, please don’t, it’s not cool.

I think smoking balances my personality out. It helps me cope with stress and there’s nothing better than a cigarette combined with a cup of good coffee in the morning (and I’m sure that all you smokers out there will agree with me). On the other hand, maybe I’ll quit one day, who knows?
