  • Once again pointless video. It is like 20-30% of your videos are cool but the rest is carbage like this. Some people think smoking is cool and I suppose most americans think smoking is cool but I think it is pathetic. Smoking is to me is like "look how hard I try to be a cool guy" sign.

    Then again I come from athletic back ground where smoking isn't appreciated at all

  • Hear him? Programs are collapsing because of sintax. Damn scripting errors.

  • OMG rofl the whole not wanting to clean up a small mess is exactly how i think

  • Yes taxing smoking is unfair to a degree, as it's a regressive tax. However, smokers burden the healthcare system which everyone else has to pay for, either financially or by being forced to wait longer for beds to become available.

    For example in Australia, roughly $6billion was collected in cigarette tax in the last year, while smokers cost the economy $32billion in healthcare, lost productivity and other factors. So I hear your point, but I think you should factor this into your argument.

  • and you have to smoke way longer than 2 weeks to become addicted

  • i'm a smoker and I appreciate this

  • LOL merciless and harsh as usual but so true totally agree haha

  • Comment removed

  • Intellectual laziness, so true:)

  • Well, i'm not going to smoke, ever. But freedom of choice

  • I have not started the video yet. I have merely looked at the title and sparked up. Bring it on!

  • Fuckin wind. I hate that shit.

  • You've inspired me to smoke more for some reason -_- However, please do not tell anyone as I'm meant to have packed in :P It's proving difficult to stop this cool bad habit haha. Funny video btw, I think I may subscribe :)

  • If you'd just speak up, it'd be so much easier to hear you.

  • Well, smoking taxes are probably, most likely, because smokers spend the most money, a tax on something they're addicted to won't stop them from buying it, therefor, giving more money for retarded shit... yelling = excessive btw, nice video

  • exercise?

  • i smoke and have a beard. fuck yea.

  • lol i'm exactly like you TJ. I'm a lazy mofo.

  • ill get ur doc on bit che

  • grow hair and shave

  • Smokers should be taxed extra because they pollute air with all that stinky shit and often I have to breath that in even if it's outside. I have a right to breath air, not their fucking smoke, no matter how small amounts. If they find a way to smoke so that the crap they shoot into the air doesn't make its way into my lungs, then yeah.Because of these inconsiderate assholes I couldn't go to clubs for years because you come out smelly even though you didn't smoke and you can't breathe.

  • @rechitsapivo why should thier rights be infinged due to your discomfort dont like people who smoke dont go near them or go to a differnet club, and taxing more? why the polute the air, breathing is poluting the air heavy breaths should be taxed more by that logic

  • @rechitsapivo oh boo hoo

  • @rechitsapivo Yeah and they should tax gasoline too! The fumes give me a headache and contribute to global warming. I say $10 a gallon should do it.

  • I don't see where you're coming from, I think smoking just make's you look stupid. Unless it's a guy in a suit.

  • We tax whatever people dislike. They are selfish ASSHOLES. People have RIGHTS.

  • yet this whole time TJ has a no smoking in the house rule

  • @siwooot Because he can get evicted for the smoke.

  • The longer your beard gets the shorter your hair gets.

  • you should make a video about how drugs are 'bad'. (not sure if i should use reverse psychology on you or what, but what i really mean to say is how they are good. lol ) it'd be interesting to see what you do with that! :P

  • im going to light up a cigarette in honor of this video lol XD

  • Lol yeah, they tax smokers because they know tobacco is one of the most addictive substances ever.

  • "I'll die 20 years earlier than most people so I'll be cool each last fucking day."

    Bill Hicks

  • you know being crippled everybody assumes i cant walk without legs, and i cant, but i hate that people asssume that.

  • if theres is a tax on these drugs why not tax caffeine?

    that would fuck things up

  • In Soviet Russia, cigarette smoke you!

  • Comment removed

  • 1:52 lmao

  • PAHAA...this was so cruel to the guy who sent the message but yeah...i agree

  • this guy is a pussy....he defends germs and cancer but says abortion is alright

    now he says it's better to be addicted to cancer causing cigarettes than be fat?

  • @mercanaries3 I would rather be addicted to cigarettes, than be fat. Which i am. I was picked on, harrased, laughed at all throughout high school for being fat. I would much rather get a few nasty looks than recieve the vitrial that I did.

  • @WinstonSmith144

    how about smoking a medicinal one you pussy.

  • @mercanaries3 You're cool.

  • @mercanaries3 are u retarded? being fat is alot worst then smoking when your obese you could end up getting alot of liver dieases heart failers etc.... but whats the worst thats gonna happen when u smoke get cancer in like 40 years. who cares no one wants to live to be 100 anyway

  • @bradledots

    Hemp is beneficial you can smoke it or use it in another way to actually help you, asshole.

    Tobacco is filled with cancer causing agents.

  • @mercanaries3 i know i smoke weed and tabacco i just dont know why people make such a big deal about tabacco smokers

  • 4:22 Russian Accent?

  • Smoking is for pussiess that aint got life like uuuz

  • @betoche12345 But he's not a smoker, he explains this in the video.

    Where you even watching?

  • You don't like to smoke because it curbs your appetite. You love cheeseburgers more, but hey more power to ya.

  • A little tip for people that are addicted to fast food: smoking ruins your appetite. Somke a cigarette when you feel temptation to eat unhealthy food when you're not even hungry.

  • Ha TJ, you just solved the problem of evil god is both benevolent and capable, but is lazy he wouldn't solve our problems even though all he needs to do is pick them up and throw them away.

  • I dont care for cigarettes. Now cigars are a bosses smoking habit. Cigars like a nice Diamond Crown, that just goes with two of my favorite things. A glass of Casa Diablo wine and a fat juicy t-bone steak, with or with out lobster! Just sit there at the table eating, drinking and smoking while listening to the sweet music of Luciano Pavarotti...Like. A. Boss

  • an intellectual laziness lol who r u trying to kid

  • Hum... In Europe there is a point in taxing cigarettes because smokers cost a lot of money from social security...

    But I guess this point doesn't work in the US...

  • tell me smoking is cool when you have 12 puffers and are dying of COPD...

  • smoking is for retards who should all hopefully die in pain

  • @TheCollinsd1 Yeah, because wishing horrible death on someone who is paying an arm, leg, and half their fucking soul for cigarettes when they don't even LIKE smoking just makes you fucking awesome.

    Douchebag.

  • What are dumbass potheads doing watching and commenting this guy's videos?

  • @jouluturkki Because being a pothead makes you a dumbass. Ok, clearly you are a moron.

  • I don't agree that there shouldn't be high taxes on cigarettes but they should spend the tax revenues on healthcare. but they shouldn't be as high as they are.

    but I do think there should be a small tax on unhealthy foods and other things that push up healthcare costs and also put some of the tax revenue into making less desirable unhealthy food fractionally cheaper.

    and I'm fat my self so I'm not some health freak but I think its a good idea.

  • you know TJ ther are like herbal cigarettes, that don't cause health problem that you can smoke if you want to look cool? ^^'' just a tip if you wanna ^^''

    also the thing with cigarretes is that they don't only hurt you, but others around you as well.. and the way you behave when youre drunk also affects others.. if its only you it affects i'm ok with it, but to give others cancer because youve paid for it is disgusting to me..

  • Well the truth of it is if everybody stopped smoking it would be a massive financial relief for taxpayers. Yes the government taxes smokers unfairly but that tax does not offset the cost of healthcare incurred by smoking.

  • My father died of lung cancer, smoking is NOT COOL, so did a close friend of mine die of lung cancer, NOT COOL with him either...but we all choose our own poisons, as a dead friend of mine once pointed out, and she was right, she didn't die of lung cancer though, a teenage drunk killed her with his car.

  • Yo whats the name of the outro song?

  • I smoke natural cigarettes, they're healthy as shit.

  • You're rantings are amazing. HOT!

  • Well, I already paid $70 for my pipe. Gonna get my moneys worth.

  • haha, I love to hear of the ppl who share the "wtf? I ain't addicted to it??" ..geez I have smoked (remember, NOT daily-bases) almost about 3-5 years now = and no apparent addiction seen.

    I do have few theories but.. I rather wait someone pays the doc's for me to check if am wrong cause I dont wanna pay for it and be wrong you know? would suck ass to pay like 300€ and be completely wrong (why I dont play card-games with money btw ...well ok for a beer on bar or so but pff, with friends yk.)

  • @RHProductionsII : Ah the woderful world of delusion and denial.

  • @rmed30 if you mean the "delusion" and "denial" of the part I ain't addicted to smoking, how umm.. sometimes even a week or maybe even 2 (I really not keeping track, of every non-smoken day in compare to how many days in row I have smoked before/after) and without ...well seeable/feelable addiction side-effects?

    And I sure seen the worse ones from my friend who got hooked already about.. mm.. I say 2003, cause I aint all sure of before, but DAMN, he starts shaking if doesnt get it daily

  • Comment removed

  • your collar fix that shit its killing me

  • well from an economic point of view, for example if you live in the UK and don't have private health insurance, your hospital bills are gonna be covered by the government, which when taken into consideration, if everybody stopped smoking in the UK despite the lack of it's tax revenue the costs saved in healthcare will if anything cover that.

  • wait a minute... i thoguht you didnt give a shit about be cool TJ?

  • I was eating a cheeseburger while watching this

  • LOL we all know ciggerete isn't good but to be honest like all fat people eventually die of eating because there putting shit in there body and still they don't care about it they enjoy it .

    Likewise goes for people that smoke we will eventually die

    BUT SO WILL ANYONE ELSE

    so my moto is why don't you die for something you enjoy then play the good book and die anyways!!

    END

  • See...cigaretts don't taste good and cheeseburgers do. Besides you can get a whole meal for the price of a pack of cigaretts.

  • Lol here in Germany we would be grateful if we just had a tax for alcohol and cigarettes. But most of the Americans wont even know why this is funny.

  • I fucking hate it when some dip shit decides he's going to give me shit about smoking. "You know that's bad for you, right?" WHAT? Smoking is bad for me? NO FUCKING WAY??? I think I'll just put this cigarette down immediately and never touch them again, because I'm not addicted or anything. Go fuck yourselves, pious, self righteous, anti-smokers.

  • Truffle Shuffle!!!

  • So true. I am fat and Approve this.

  • ROFL! This is the funniest video of his I've ever seen.

    I won't lie, I was always in the 'tax those damn smokers' bandwagon, but never think about how addictive it is.

    Smoking is just like cheeseburgers, the ppl in charge just F with us and we're never the wiser cause we 'think' we need them.

  • fucking love you

  • anybody else notice the guy who started to smoke intentionally in the background

  • @themodmancarl Yeah it's Cody Weber of saturninefilms , they used to collaberate and work together with videos. Good stuff

  • cigarettes are gay. weed is cool. anything harder sucks

  • @ReptarSickness alcohol is cool sometimes.. and it's a much harder drug.

  • @hanspeterpitsch i dont consider alcohol a drug, its more of a necessity

  • @ReptarSickness Well what you consider to be a drug isn't really relevant to it being a drug like any other. And one of the hard ones.

  • @hanspeterpitsch whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? im confused

  • @ReptarSickness Why? I said that it doesn't matter if you consider alcohol to be a drug or not, the fact remains that it is, and it is one of the harder ones. No difference there except that it's legal and ok with society.

  • @ReptarSickness you obviously haven't tried acid then my friend.

  • @ReptarSickness thats fucking retarded how are cigarettes gay?

  • @kyuubisharinan3296 they dont make you feel anything, they smell awful, waste of money, kill you

  • @ReptarSickness So glad this is a top comment hahah.

  • @ReptarSickness

    That's boring.

  • @ReptarSickness im addicted to caffeine. problem?

  • @mfleurasd nope

  • @ReptarSickness Give me a break.....you little weed monkey. I don't have a problem with those who chose to smoke weed, but don't tell me weed is not bad for you but cigarettes are. Especially considering most weed that is smoked is unfiltered. Weed is just as bad for your lungs as cigarettes it doesn't have the added chemicals but has lots of chemicals of it's own including the most harmful chemical TAR. It's not like doing heroin but smoking ANYTHING is bad for your lungs....so enough bullshit.

  • @Flipper79able hahhahahahahaha

  • @Flipper79able So sensitive.

  • @ReptarSickness Oh boy remember that day we had too many cigarettes? No. Cigs are not fun and they are just kinda relaxing the first time. But weed u can black out or get really fucking stoned and party or some shit. Weeds fun lol cigs aren't

  • @ReptarSickness That's fine but do you guys want to wash that smell off of yourselves and your clothes before you head out in public?

  • @PrivateJoker17 i enjoy the smell

  • @ReptarSickness The general public doesn't ;D

  • @PrivateJoker17 fuck the public lol

  • @PrivateJoker17 no, we arent arrogant assholes like you. cigarettes smell like tobacco big fuckin deal. if you have a problem with it i suggest you look around at the world we live in and: Shutting your fucking mouth

  • @ReptarSickness What have you had that's harder?

  • @ReptarSickness cept acid and molly.....and dmt

  • Comment removed

  • i always felt the problem with smoking is that its a business now. its taxed too much, they put too much stupid shit in it and its marketed too well. my friend buys tobacco and rolls it himself, its alot healthier and he still get to enjoy his smokes.

  • I know how you feel.

    I wan't to grow a beard, but I'm to lazy. Not only does it take a while, but after that, it's a whole new bunch a hair to keep clean and groomed :-/

    I even understand the "being to lazy to smoke" part. Even though I am a smoker.

    If I'm working at home for a week or so and I run out of cigarettes, I'll most likely be to lazy to go buy some, unless I have to go to the store anyway. And that could take days.

  • you're doing exactly what that "jag off on YouTube" told you to do by making this video, lol.

  • You can hide cigerettes, but you can't hide the smell..

    and, if you wanna get addicted, buy a pack, smoke it all in a half hour. When parents do that, that's how us kids get addicted XD

  • I'm going to grow a beard now.

  • Smoking weed = cool

    Smoking cigarettes = disgusting

  • Smoking is not cool...

  • @Ratoscruvy menthol cigarettes are cool

  • @andrewvanrhoberts

    No, only smokers think smoking is cool. I can only assume that the amount of smokers relative to the general population of a country is small; hence only a small percentage of a country thinks smoking is cool

  • @Ratoscruvy Well TJ said smoking is cool, and he's not a smoker. And I think it looks pretty cool and I don't smoke.

  • @Shishkaraz just don't think about it let it goes

  • @andrewvanrhoberts Menthols give you testical cancer.

  • The problem with smoking is that here in argentina we have free healthcare , and people who smokes are doing something that is harmful for themselves and we have to pay the treatment for an ill that can be avoided, so its bad for them and for all of us. Saying that if smokers dissapear it would be bad because of less money from taxes is like saying that if people isnt fat anymore fast food branches are going to close.

  • @1024joaquin accurate insight bro.

  • My boyfriend smokes and I hate kissing him right after he's smoked, it tastes awful

  • My mom is hooked to an oxygen machine 16 hours per day because of smoking :(

  • HOLY SHIT ITS LIKE A FAT FUNNIER MORE INSULTING MORE SENSE MAKING MUSIC FREE VERSION OF BRENTALFLOSS!

    BrAIn ASpLoooooOOoODINg!!!!1!!11111

  • There is a way to get rid of fat... It's called EXERCISE. That's why fat people ARE lazy. Because they do not exercise. What happens when you exercise everyday and eat only burgers? You become unhealthy. What happens when you sit around eating burgers all day? You get fat and unhealthy. Unless you're fat because of a medical problem, otherwise you're fat because you are, in fact, fucking lazy.

  • upvote for impeccable french nihilist accent!

  • But the fatass on youtube who tells me what to do is my favourite fatass that tells me what to do! :D

  • cody weber

  • 1:30 The english language would collape without syntax. *ba-dum-tss*

  • lol at Cody smoking in the back

  • Taxing cigarettes is bullshit. To those doing the taxes, they really don't even want them to quit, because then they wouldn't have any revenues.

  • I couldn't believe what they said!! Is it true? Are you really Rush Limbaugh's illegitimate son? I had to investigate.1) cute chubby little cheeks; check 2) very, very opinionated; check 3) arrogant, with a severe case of diarrhea of the mouth, check 4) "formerly nicotine stained fingers" (Rush L. quote) I don't know, I have no desire to look at you fingers 5) full of hot air, useless bull and rhetoric; check 6) receding hair line, winner of the DickyDo award; check OMG!! It IS true!

  • should tax you for being a homosexual

  • its not so cool when u have lubg cancer

  • @caca9156 These are the dumbest comments I've ever seen on an Amazing Atheist video. You people are retarded, if they want to smoke let them fucking smoke, they shouldn't be looked down upon and berated because of that fact.

  • As if smoking is the sole cause of lung cancer. Being alive is bad for your health.

    People who complain about smokers deserve every kind of cancer that isn't attributed to smoking. Because irony is so beautiful.

  • and just saying people r prob. not going to quit

  • Comment removed

  • I love how he gets so sidetracked...

  • Ah you can do a good niko belic

  • Everyone love pom

  • I smoke like a 2-5 cigarettes a month when I'm stressed

  • Damn you Belgium Chocolate Ads!

  • I can't get addicted to tobacco either, but I still smoke when I remember to coz smoking is fucking nice.

  • @chriswere9 I've been smoking for just around a year now and now it's got to the point where I have around 1 pack a day. My teeth are actually pretty decent. But yeah I have noticed that they aren't quite as white as they were before I started, so yeah after a decade of smoking or something I reckon my teeth will look quite bad probably lol

  • Wow. I agree with this.

  • Smokers should be taxed just for all the fucking cigarette butts they fling everywhere.

  • @MosinDisciple @MosinDisciple Smokers ARE taxed... when they buy the cigarettes. Do you know how much they would be if they weren't? Dirt ass cheap.

  • @MosinDisciple True. I will confess that I am a bad person when it comes to cigarette butts.

  • @MosinDisciple should the handicapped be taxed for the extra burden the place on the health care system?...didn't think so

  • @tsiglos Depends. If the handicap from their birth or due to a retarded accident they did? Like jumping off a house onto a trampoline. Or going too fast on a public road.

  • @tsiglos Are you comparing a person who isn't able to change it's situation to a retard that smokes? please.

  • Either that, or we can create more jobs by putting whiny faggots to work collecting cigarette butts to recycle into a virtually infinite number of products. Maybe extra absorbent tissues to dry your tears with.

  • @MosinDisciple as a smoker i agree...i fucking hate people who drop.....mostly because i have to pick all that shit up >.<

  • @MosinDisciple

    I think we pay enough taxes on the cigarettes themselves.

    But dispose of ye waste in a proper way nonetheless.

  • @MosinDisciple we don't all do that smartass. however, on behalf of smokers everywhere i am formally apologizing that these harmless bits of cotton are on your precious ground

  • @MosinDisciple they already are a pack of cigarettes are 10-15 dollars and it actually costs like 2-3 dollars the rest is taxes

  • @MosinDisciple we wouldn't do it if they put some bins somewhere....we get fined £80 here for dropping one...so yes we are getting 'taxed' (United Kingdom) ....but because of the "smoke free zones" the government doesnt put out those bins with the ashtrays on the top, we can't stick them in the bin because they will cause a fire...and there isn't even enough bins for litter....maybe the government should make biodegradable cigarette butts, problem solved.

  • @MosinDisciple So that implies all of us? So I should be taxed for putting my butts in an ashtray just because other people who fit into the same category?

    How does that make sense?

    Maybe we should start taxing all americans a stupidity tax just because half the population is retarded.

  • @MosinDisciple thats what community service is for, fuck taxing them

  • @MosinDisciple I smoke everyday and dont do that so goodjob and guess what were already being taxed idiot.

  • @MosinDisciple They are. When they pay sales tax on their cigarettes. Fucking retard.

  • @MosinDisciple i dont think so...they everyone would pay for other peoples retardness...doesnt work braw

  • @MosinDisciple we don't all actually do that. Some smokers carry ashcans and I just pinch mine shut halfway and put them back in the pack if I'm out. Most people in general litter, that's why you'll see paper cups and chocolate bar wrappers all over the place too. You see more cigarette butts because smokers smoke a lot of cigarettes when they're out as opposed to the average person consuming 1 chocolate bar, a soda and bag of chips. Look under a restaurant table, see all the gum.

  • @MosinDisciple

    people who eat chewing gum should be taxed as much as smokers aswell just for all the chewing gum they just fling everywere ?
