In the absence of the lighter, the man chose to use a giant digger arm with flames

This is one extreme smoker, not only does he light his cigarette from a giant digger arm complete with flames and all, but he is so calm and patient that he actually seems unimpressed.

Smoking is dangerous enough even without using life-threatening stunts to light up a cigarette, not to mention having a moving and burning in flames object just inches from one's face.

When the construction worker failed in his attempt to find a lighter or at least a set of matches, he had his colleagues, operating a huge digger, inch the machine's burning arm towards his face.

The video first went viral in 2010, and after a few posts resurfaced it again, it sparked another massive sensation. Besides the fame that the extreme smoker now has, due to his death-defying way of lighting a cigarette, the origins of the clip are still unknown.
