Ernest's Anti-Smoking Ad

If only he listened to himself...........

@qix77 he didn't outlive Willie.

I guess Jim Varney knew that it was too late for him to quit cold turkey so instead he would tell people to not be like him and don't smoke.

Don't start!

RIP Ernest!

i love to smoke ernest see u up there dude

It's called a vapourizer...too bad they weren't popular when he was younger :(

@jw870206 I think contradictory is the word you're looking for, but I agree. Long-term heavy smokers like Varney usually have tried to quit dozens, even hundreds of times. It's more than clear to them that the best way to quit is to never start.

And to all of the people who saying he's a hypocrite, should have taken his own advice, etc.: go fuck yourselves, and then be happy that you haven't experienced serious addiction because, despite how smart you think you are, it could have been you.

@Rotard12a I smoke and regularly tell people never start. If anyone wants to call me a hypocrite, I don't give a rat's ass.
