Smokin’
This guy has it right. If Christmas is about 1 thing, it’s smoking. Santa is a Lucky Strikes man and Frosty the Snowman always had his corn cob pipe, so in the spirit of Christmas I say smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em!

Prob smells really great in there…
December 26th, 2011
I guess non-smokers have no rights to clean air and healthy lungs. Douche
December 26th, 2011
At least now I know what to get this guy for Christmas that he wont return or regift!
December 26th, 2011
I know what this guy got for Christmas… lung cancer!!
December 26th, 2011
looks like cheech and chong decided to be more obvious
December 26th, 2011
Coughin’ in there now, coffin in there later.
December 26th, 2011
Last time I checked, you couldn’t smoke at Wal-mart either…
December 26th, 2011
Not judging anybody here, but 3 1/2 years ago I quit, cold turkey. One of the best decisions I ever made. Anyone who want to give it up….. YOU CAAN DOOO EET!
December 26th, 2011
Smokers are a dying breed. hahaha
December 26th, 2011
There’s an idiot in Saginaw, Michigan that has a tru
ck covered like this . It covers smoking, seatbelts, politics, religion, you name it.
December 26th, 2011
If Mama has a heart attack or stroke and goes to the hospital does this mean we who don’t smoke must bear her financial burden?
If you want to kill your self in your own home, fine with me. You do not have the right to foul up the air in a restaurant.
Talk about white trash…
December 26th, 2011
If Mom put an equal amount of effort into quitting, she’d have been smoke – free YEARS ago.
December 26th, 2011
people bitch about nonsmokers and clean air rights but in all honesty Smoking isnt what pollutes our air. Its the factories and gas powered autos that does that the most. I signed up to die for this country if need be in the Army and by god il smoke where I want to. If people bitch about it they can kiss my ass. We live in a free country not England. . . and hell even there you can still smoke inside of most places of business. kthanxbye
December 26th, 2011
Well if you’re boycotting all cities AND states, you’ll probably have to find a new country to live in before too long. I guess there’s always Mexico….
December 26th, 2011
Looks like he has a Tea party sticker on his bumper. What a surprise.
December 26th, 2011
WTF is all I gotta say! LOL
December 26th, 2011
I probably wouldn’t want to eat at any restaurant that welcomes these imbreds in anyway.
December 26th, 2011
If it weren’t already well known, this would conclusively prove that smoking doesn’t just damage your lungs.
What an idiot.
December 26th, 2011
Wow. 0_0
December 26th, 2011
Although I am not a smoker I need to state tobacco production is an American industry that unfortunately is being forced out of business by our government. Between excessive taxing and all these ads against it.
December 26th, 2011
Smoke it if you got it, because non smokers can’t stop you!
December 26th, 2011
Looks like all that smoke has deprived somebody’s brain of oxygen!
December 26th, 2011
Her kids wish she’d go back to the plain “Soccer Mom” bumper sticker like before.
December 26th, 2011
He is boycotting all streets and restaurants that ban smoking?!?!
Oh, dummy, they won’t even know it, they already banned you from their premises.
December 26th, 2011
Someone should do this guy a favor and tow his car and have it disposed of. It reads like some sort of Rick Perry-styled billboard
December 26th, 2011
If she is avoiding all the places that ban smoking, she’s going to be sitting in her trailer, starkers, and staring at an empty fridge. In Maryland, some grocery stores don’t even sell cigarettes any more.
December 26th, 2011
worked in the mines and was told every body in the hole chewed tobacco but not one of them spit THEY ALL SWALLOWED so my thinking is that smokers should eat there BUTTS, now if they ALL did that i might not have a objection to the smoke cause i be laughing to F–KING HARD TO CARE
December 26th, 2011
And I’ll bet “Mom” from Kentucky sounds more like a man than a woman. Seriously, most of my family is from KY and the female smokers go through a major voice change in a few years.
December 26th, 2011
It’s a shame stupidity isn’t banned.
December 26th, 2011
Well at least when they die that will be less people we’ll have to worry or deal with.
December 26th, 2011
This guy makes all smokers look like douche bags. I am a smoker, but I still try to be courteous when I smoke in public. However, sometimes the wind blows smoke into people’s faces. Sorry. This guy should just move to Las Vegas, you can smoke inside in all kinds of places
December 26th, 2011
One good thing… “Mom” probably won’t be around much longer
December 26th, 2011
I woulda described it as an “art car” except for the stupidity involved. It’s just dumb and ugly. Be sure the windows stay rolled up.
December 26th, 2011
…waiting for Jeff Spicoli to roll out of the side door with a huge cloud of smoke.
December 26th, 2011
“Be nice to smokers! Can’t you see they’re dying?” Roseann Barr
December 26th, 2011
Okay, so not only is “Mom” distracted from driving by the chain-smoking light-up ritual, but she can’t really see where she’s going either.
Oh well, at least she’s well lit. Maybe in more ways than one, depending on what she’s smoking…
December 26th, 2011
I know this woman! She lives in Scottsville or Glasgow, Ky., and her van has been done up like this for years – ever since the neighboring town of Bowling Green started debating a smoking ban. She brought a vanload of kids to protest at a city council meeting.
She blasts “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” from speakers on top, and as you might guess, she’s totally demented. I had the misfortune to stand next to her once, so I can tell you she doesn’t shower either. Foul.
December 26th, 2011
Wonder of everybody would be this down on the guy if he were supporting smoking pot?
December 26th, 2011
Somebody is in denial about smoking being in decline. What an idiot ride!
December 26th, 2011
What are the odds “Mom” likes to eat as much as she likes to smoke ? In fact she probably does both at the same time – and while taking a crap.
December 26th, 2011
It really burns my biscuits to hear non-smokers complain about smokers who smoke OUTDOORS.
WTF, as if inhaling smog, vehicle exhaust, fumes from freshly-laid asphalt, or gasoline fumes is any better?!
December 26th, 2011
I cringe everytime I see the Wal creature is from Ky…I worry I’m related
December 26th, 2011
We complain because when we go outside to breath the air, it smells like stanky cigarettes!! I hate that so much! Wish they would ban it in public too. If you want to smoke cancer sticks do it in your house.
December 26th, 2011
One short circuit and there will be plenty of smoke coming out of that van.
December 26th, 2011
@Ambrosia, Well said. I’m a smoker and a disabled vet. My disability had nothing to do with smoking and everything to do with my government doing what they want with no restrictions. OK, I can see banning smoking in public buildings. However, If you don’t want to breath my smoke, stay away from me when I’m smoking. I try to be considerate of non-smokers but if you put yourself in a position to breath my smoke then don’t bitch if you do breath it. If you come into my house, don’t complain about the smoke and I won’t smoke in your home. The argument about tax payers footing the bills for smoking related illnesses is BS. The only money the government spends regarding smokers is on enacting all kinds of laws to take away the smoker’s right to smoke. Don’t kid yourself about your increased insurance premiums either because smokers pay the increase in all their insurance needs. I gave up my health defending your right to bitch so don’t get in the way of my right to smoke unless you want to fight a private war. If you want something to bitch about, try taking this country back from a greedy, useless government and turning it back into the country it used to be. Take a good, hard look at where all your tax money is really being wasted and all your rights being taken away because you’re so busy bitching about the ants that the elephants are just strolling by without notice.
December 26th, 2011
Just think: if they spent as much effort into quitting smoking as they did bitching about their mom not being able to smoke in restaurants, they all could have kicked the habit by now. Just something to think about…

December 26th, 2011
I also know this woman and she is truly “out there”. I have been to city council meetings while she was there speaking and carrying on. She lives in Edmonton Kentucky. She even has a website just for this van (and another, she has two).

Enjoy!
December 26th, 2011
So smokers are boycotting all states & cities that have smoking bans? Best news I have heard all day. I am sick of seeing idiots throw their cigarette butts out of their car windows. It’s called littering morons! Also I am tired of coming out of an office or store and having to breathe the smoke of some moron who is standing 2 feet from the door puffing away. Last but not least, I hate having to smell the stench of some idiot who just sent 6 hours in a car with everyone smoking. Boycott away! We won’t miss you one bit!
December 26th, 2011
KY inbreds, can anyone say “hi uncle dad?” Or “sister, will you marry me?”
December 27th, 2011
The Pontificator, how in the hell do you know if this car is owned by a white person or some other race? Only poor white people smoke? You’re just racist.
December 27th, 2011
I understand the fanatical, near-demented hatred toward smokers. It’s how I feel about those who drink alcohol. Disgusting, useless lot, all of them. Especially those who get off on imagining it’s blood on Sundays…
December 27th, 2011
If you dont want to smell the smoke then stay in your own house. This is a free damn country everyone has a right. If smoking should be ban than so should factories and vehicles that also pollute, and cause harm to humans. Stop fussing over a cigarette than has no scientific proof that second hand smoke causes harm. There is none what so ever it cant be proven. If your going to run your mouth get your facts out right.
December 27th, 2011
I live in Louisville…am white…and I can guaran-darn-tee you that this person is white.
Kind of ironic that she has one of the “Choose Life” license plates, too.
December 27th, 2011
Aww. All the non-smokers complaining about having to walk outside and inhale smoke for all of 2.5 seconds as they pass by because we smokers are taking our last few drags before coming into the store. We’re outside. Get over it. As for the Mommy complaining about having a right to clean air, this is why we have so many trees. You pollute the air every day by driving. No different. The states only recently started banning smoking in certain states, yet there’s people still alive at 100 years old. (They obviously lived in an era where smoking was allowed… oh, I dunno… EVERYWHERE?) Get over yourselves already. We smoke outside. If you don’t like the smell, walk away. We smoke in our cars. If you don’t like it, drive away or simply roll up your window. And if the smell on a smoker’s clothing bothers you so much, again, walk away. If you farted in the store, I’m obviously not going to like the smell of it, so what do I do in return? Walk away. Common sense.
December 27th, 2011
I wonder if that is Mt. Sterling, KY? I ask because when I lived there in the 1970′s, one frequently saw “Enjoy Smoking” bumper stickers plastered all over the some of the vehicles there.
December 27th, 2011
Well it least they can’t lose their car in a parking lot! LOL
December 27th, 2011
Can we say “fire hazard?”
December 27th, 2011
Alright douches, listen up. Slowly but surely we are eliminating people’s abilities to smoke. Even my bass ackwards town voted to outlaw smoking in restaurants and bars. Soon you will only be able to smoke in two places:
1) in your own home (and that’s only if you keep your windows closed)
2) in your own car (and that’s only if you keep your windows rolled up and do not litter cigarette butts out the window)
Public smoking will be a thing of the past sooner than you think! It’s the inconsiderate smokers who have ruined it for the other 10% of smokers who are considerate.
December 27th, 2011
Actually, I like people like this – they are highly considerate in providing me with a warning label as in “Contents Clearly Labeled”, taking out most if not all of the guesswork so that I may more easily avoid them.
December 27th, 2011
Where I’m from has banned smoking from all public property, and they have stated that smoking leads to inattentive driving which leads to accidents so there is a movement here that will probably succeed in making smoking illegal in my own damn car
December 28th, 2011
All I know is smokers are the most uber-sophisticated people in the whole wide world. If I could only please, please, please, Holy Jesus, be half as cool as one of the cool kids that smoke!!!! I think everyone that smokes is at least as cool and disaffected as Judd Nelson, and maybe even as super-duper cool as Fonzie!!!! Golly, I just wish I was cool enough to smoke and ride a dirtbike and pop the collar of my jacket, or even to smoke and wear three scarves. I get a little tingle just thinking of how avant garde and post-PC it would be to engage in the archetypical behavior of the true free thinkers, rebels and Lone Wolves who choose the last bold outpost of nicotine addiction as the spot to make their valiant stand!!!!!
December 28th, 2011
Oh my dear sweet baby Jesus, someone got a picture of this freaky minivan. I passed them on my way up for the holidays on I-95 last week. And had to field questions like: “why don’t we get a Santa on top of our car smoking a cigarette? or Why does that person have so much crap on their car?”. Thank you person in freaky van for the last 6 hours of non-stop questioning and/or statements of you political views to our trip up north, thank you.
December 28th, 2011
I live in the city where this van travels, and its a not a guy that drives it, its a woman…
December 28th, 2011
“We don’t eat where Mom can’t smoke!!”
Good, because nobody wants you here anyways
December 29th, 2011
“The surgeon general are big fat liars”
Tell that to my lung cancer ridden uncle and my 4-way bypass father with a chronic cough and yellow teeth. I’ve lost 3 people to smoking in my immediate family. I guess they probably just faked their deaths and are living it up in Mexico.
God I’m glad I live in California. I hope we are the first state that bans it all together. Why can’t people just use an e-cig? You get to smoke, I get to live.
One more thing that I can’t stand about smokers: if you’re going to smoke, then get into my car or my house, stay outside for like 10 minutes first and get that stank out of your lungs because you’re breathing it out in my property.
December 29th, 2011
Now your lungs AND car are ruined
December 29th, 2011
Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peepee section in a swimming pool.
December 29th, 2011
OMG I LOVE IT!!! I am from the same area as this lady! I am so excited to see she made it on here…. oh good lord, that van cracks me up!!!
December 29th, 2011
Great. I HATE smoke. I won’t have to look at you smoke when I go out to a nice NON-SMOKING place. HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA.
December 30th, 2011
GOOD! THEN THE REST OF US WON’T HAVE TO SMELL YOUR SMOKE!
December 31st, 2011
ALL the smokers in our large family died horrible deaths of lung cancer, mouth cancer, or emphysema. Most of their children developed asthma. I am not objecting to the SMELL of cigarette smoke. I get an ASTHMA ATTACK when I breathe it. I have more of a right to breathe in public than you do to smoke in public. Just stay home to smoke, and don’t smoke around your children.
December 31st, 2011
We be missin ya in Oregon dude…sorry but we be one of those states that don’t allow smokin…
December 31st, 2011
“So smokers are boycotting all states & cities that have smoking bans? Best news I have heard all day. I am sick of seeing idiots throw their cigarette butts out of their car windows. It’s called littering morons! ”
Yeah, because we wouldn’t want to mar the natural beauty of roads made of boiled tar and studded with rocks by tossing a three-quarter inch piece of paper and cellulose down, would we?
January 1st, 2012
Holy Moly!!!!!!
I KNOW THIS PERSON!!!!!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL
She’s even more nuts in real life trust me.
January 2nd, 2012
Smoking is a filthy disgusting dirty and harmful habit that unfortunately many in my family have or have had. My dad died of emphysema, a friend’s mom died of heart failure brought on by smoking. Both are extremely slow and painful ways to die. But smoke if you want, just don’t do it anywhere near me. Tony Randall had it right–he snipped off the ends of cigarettes that smokers dared light up near him.
January 2nd, 2012
well…it is a free country and shes allowed to state her opinion and good for her for taking advantage of this freedom. unfortunately, i dont think she will win many souls using this tactic
January 3rd, 2012
Well, she gets around. I saw her the week after 9/11 in Shanksville, PA at the Memorial. She made a depressing visit end in laughs.
January 3rd, 2012
How is that thing even street legal, I bet cops would take front tinted windshields over pulling that eye ‘puke’ over.
January 5th, 2012
LOOK!!! It’s the NEW 2012 HINDU TEMPLE on wheels model!!! I can’t wait to get me one of them!
January 7th, 2012
This car looks like it came straight out of Bisbee Arizona
January 7th, 2012
I actually saw this car driving around Northeast Florida one night. They get around
January 13th, 2012
HO! HO! H..mmm..hmmm…cough…cough…huhugghhh!!…..HEK!!….AHEKKK!!!!!…..(spits out loogie!!!)….merry Christmas……
January 15th, 2012
This has to be in Glasgow, KY. I have seen this van before. Sometimes she circles around our square playing and shouting things about anti-smoking laws. Freedom of speech – yes; but can you spell EXTREMIST?
January 23rd, 2012
hey cigarettes are bad for you! look how this guy lost his taste
February 2nd, 2012
Hello, These pics are of my Freedom Van, in it’s Christmas motif. It won a trophy at the Houston Art Car parade this year. Not sure where this Walmart is, I’m a big fan, shop them all over the USA. I have two of these vans, Freedom Van is the new one. Just a note, since this pic was taken in a PARKING LOT. ANYONE who will get anywhere NEAR an internal combustion engine, who is complaining about a few whisps of tobacco smoke, is NEUROTIC. They are mentally ill. Also, this happens to be the USA. We are not supposed to be a communist country, therefore, we have PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS. YOU have every right to stay AWAY from my van, and to stay OUT of MY property – whether that is my home OR my business. You DO NOT have a ‘right’ to tell folks what to do on property YOU DO NOT OWN. Personally, I think we should ban neurotic people.
February 3rd, 2012
GEEZ: You’re probably correct about the pic being taken in Glasgow. Seen her there many times myself. And each and every time I see this van, it just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Nobody stops to read it, they just laugh at it as she drives by.
February 7th, 2012
I saw this van in Frankfort, KY today. It was funny seeing it rolling down the road, knowing I just saw it on this site just a week ago.
February 22nd, 2012
This pic was taken in Danville Kentucky. I actually took a pic of it the same night just never thought to put it on here. I remember pulling in the parking lot seeing it lit up like a Christmas tree and going WTF is that?! hahah
As for the whole banning smoking.. We should also ban perfumes, flowers ect. I mean there are people out there with severe allergies to perfumes and flowers even scented candles. I agree with this van lady.. however I wouldn’t go this far with it.
April 12th, 2012
So… so where will these red-blooded, black-lunged Americans go if *every* state bans smoking in its establishments?
Methinks these people haven’t thought this through very well.
April 24th, 2012
was this taken in glasgow ky. i swear i seen that van there a month ago.
April 27th, 2012
LMFAO! This is indeed in Glasgow, Ky.. Ive seen it too!
May 8th, 2012
Smokin’ what? Crack? Lol!
May 13th, 2012
Haha my mom and I took a picture of that , but i guess it got put up by someone else before we could .
May 21st, 2012
damn fancy farm picnic protesters
May 28th, 2012
nope this is danville ky. you can tell from the liquor mart on top of the hill in the background and storage units to its right. .. lol and my jeep in the background lmao. yeahh.. thats where i work. i actually remember this car being parked there. and someone taking pictures of it while i was on break
June 27th, 2012
i’ve actually seen this van in person. i have pictures of it on my facebook page
July 15th, 2012
i see this car all the time (i live in KY). but its not a man, its actually a woman. and if you’re lucky, you may see her driving around with a bald eagle on a trailer hitched to the back to her car.
July 25th, 2012
If she wants to boycott California, we won’t mind. It’s crowded enough here already,.
August 8th, 2012
About throwing your cigarette butts on the street: Don’t do it! It’s dangerous!
I remember back in the day, there was a series of brush fires in Hemet. They finally tracked the problem down to some delivery driver who was throwing his cigarettes onto the street. They would blow into the brush and start fires.
August 8th, 2012
She lives in Edmonton KY
