Bubble Smoking Cigarettes

My Dad Smokes about 2 Packs of Camel Non Filters a Day has Ever since I can Ever remember .. Its Catching up to him , When My Boy was Born I Quit smoking at the time i had smoked for 8 Years , Really Didnt Want my boy seeing me like i see my dad........

When i was tring to quit someone from my child hood helped me Ernest



He Was
a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer. When he discovered he had lung cancer, he reportedly threw away his cigarettes and quit smoking cold turkey. Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Ernest P. Worrell"
Though hopelessly hooked on cigarettes, he wouldn't allow himself to be photographed smoking, for the sake of all the kids who loved Ernest. And, though he entertained them by clowning, sprawling, grinning and cutting up, the talented Mr. Varney had one last message for those kids: Don't smoke.

When given the chance to have a lifelong dream fulfilled by such groups as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, several hundred terminally ill children have asked to meet Ernest. He never let them down

He would visit hospitals, and entertain sick children in his "Ernest" persona
Despite his persona as Ernest P. Worrell, had a near genius I.Q. level. He was said to be occasionally exasperated with fans who met him and assumed he was exactly like the Worrell character he portrayed. He Was also very Close friends with Robin Williams.

Theres a Pubic Service Announcement that He Did after he found out he had Lung Cancer to where hes trying to convince Vern to Quit Smoking ,, This is the Ad I Saw That Kind of helped me at the time

Gosh, Vern, ya tryin' to kill us all? Walkin' around all the time with that weed hangin' out of your mouth. Don't you know how deadly that thing is? You're just askin' for a case of the Big C: Cancer city, Chemo Therapy Hotel. I care 'bout you, Vern, that's why I'm warning you, you better give up them cigarettes, buddy, or the groundhogs will ber bringin' you your mail, knowhutimean?
Included in a 1986 home video collection of Ernest commercials is a public service spot with Ernest trying to convince "Vern" to quit smoking, thus avoiding "The Big 'C'-Cancer. Chemotherapy City."

This Video Clip Has to be on line somewhere .........

I Need Help Finding it ,,, try "Jim Varney Public Service"about quiting smoking
