In this bit9 moments
  • Tim has quit cigarettes 30 to 40 times in his life.
  • Cigarettes are disgusting and kill you in 19 different ways, yet remain one of the greatest products ever made.
  • Even five years without cigarettes, Tim would see someone smoking a cigar and feel the pull.
  • Quitting cigarettes was the hardest thing Tim ever had to quit.
  • Tim has told people in L.A. he doesn't smoke cigarettes anymore while actively smoking one.
  • People in L.A. won't call you out on obvious lies because nobody is actually listening to anyone.
  • Tim comes from a family of food addicts and drunks, and his aunt wears men's shoes because they're more comfortable, not for any other reason.
  • Tim's mother is schizophrenic, but the country has now caught up to the things she's been saying for years.
  • The country has become schizophrenic too, so they should probably just let his mother out.
