This crazy comedian obviously hasn’t headed the warning of ‘smoking kills,’ as his bizarre party trick can see him puff up to nearly eight packets of cigarettes at once – despite being a non-smoker. 

From being the first to perform an underwater drum solo in 1977 to crawling on his hands and knees for a staggering 25 miles in 1979, it’s fair to say Jim ‘Mouth’ Purol is no stranger to peculiar world records, reports the Story Trender.

And one record that may forever immortalize him in oddity history is all thanks to his huge mouth. 

Having previously held titles for fitting 180 McDonald’s fries in his mouth and for clenching 18 hotdogs between his chops at once, Jim’s defining, jaw-dropping – or jaw-dislocating – moment came on November 7, 2003, where he attempted to fit as many cigarettes in his mouth as possible, live on TV.

Managing an astonishing 159 cigarettes, the notorious daredevil then ignited their ends and consumed the collection of smokes inside five minutes – but ironically, Jim doesn’t even like smoking.

A serial fundraiser for the last four decades, Jim’s long-held aspiration to set at least one world record per year for charity means he’s been inundated with unfathomable accolades such as this.

15 years on, Jim’s mammoth record is still yet to be topped, and now at 66-years old, Jim Mouth replicated his iconic stunt for The Wizard of Odd TV, proving he still has lungs of steel.

Just as any athlete would need to stretch, Jim’s warm-up comes in the form of forcing two wine corks into his mouth vertically, then biting down on them  

Managing a lesser – but still admirable – amount of 130 cigarettes, Jim admits the sensation of smoking more than a century of cigarettes simultaneously is a ‘pretty powerful buzz’ and one that, if not for his trusty far, would see him pass-out from smoke inhalation in about thirty seconds.
