        No need because smoking is also one of the reason he's still alive and i think it's too late to stop now

        😂😂 but what does he want to quit for, if all these years he's been smoking. He might even die from withdrawal.

        Smoking #cigarettes rolled in #newspaper has gotten this man this far in life. The stress from stopping just might be enough to kill him. Plus, someone had to have bought the newspaper before it was used as rolling paper. Every sale counts when it comes to a dying industry. -IJS
