"[...]If you're smoking through a hole in your neck...I'd think about quitting".
Quoted from memory, may be verbatim may be slightly paraphrased.
Also a note that he smoked like a fucking chimney and died at 32 with lung cancer because of it... :S
P.S: Where did the smoking part come up? Is this at least, semi-on-topic? (I haven't read the whole thread...).

Bill Hicks died of pancreatic cancer. Smoking has been shown to affect the probability of developing pancreatic cancer and was probably one of the main causes in his case.
It's a sad thing that Hicks died so young, one of the greatest stand-up comedians in my opinion.
