    Pay attention to this gentleman: no education, no phone,no driving licence, no bank account, no job, nothing material; but sure he's got lots of knowledge. Let's not forget that, among the things he hasn't got, he doesn't have drugs nor alcohol addiction. He graduated from "University of life" full colours. He belongs to that category of old people that had the knowledge and the were trying to pass it over to the next generation. To bad the new generation isn't there to listen.
    Great interview, great gentleman, great personality. Nice one. I'll give you 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I truly wish him the best in life, and to get housed as soon as possible he surely deserve it.. Blessing from 🇮🇹Italy

    He is rich in spirit in too many ways to even list here.
    Cigarette man owns his life, his choices, his consciousness.
    He has made a study of himself and the world around him and has made a decision to be who HE wants to be, not who society tells him he should be.
    He has achieved personal power through his own consciousness.
    That is a freedom that so many people in this world, with much more material things, will never achieve in their lifetime.
    Much love and respect to Cigarette Man. 💜🙏

This man is truly unique. I have never in my life seen a more wise man, nor truer words than the ones spoken by Cigarette Man. I salute you sir, and I hope that SWU can tell him how much people appreciate him. I wish I could help the guy, but unfortunately I live in Europe and its not a day-trip to LA so I could have a good chat with Cigarette.
    I truly wish you the best in life Cigarette, Alhamdulillah. You're Christian, I'm Muslim, but that does not effect the love that people should have towards each other. You have a great heart.

    My house literally burned down when I was 19 and I lost all of my material possessions. When the shock wore off and the perspective set in, it was a good feeling having less stuff. What this man is saying is the truth and he is living a kind of freedom few would have a hard time understanding until they were in his position.

    Makes me miss my grandparents who lived a simple, if you can’t pay cash for it you don’t need it and knew what a hard days work was. And a world absent of commerce and its money machine that teach the youth to acquire and relationships are valued for what they contribute to one’s egos.
    Life is about our connections, relationships and doing whatever we can regardless of our reward and self serving motive.
