Dying for a smoke (1967) 

Some do some dont, i got hooked instantly, and liked the draw down my throat, depends on the person

I did.

Crack cocaine is a different story

@@johnlang160 if your drunk then yes big or sober it will just make nauseous and probably not like it first time

I got nausea and wasnt drunk

Cloaytonem2 Going through a cemetery with secondhand smoke victims, no less.

My breath was also nasty..i stank ..my clothes stank...and my lips began to get little gray spots..along with my guns.. That was it fir me. Quit cold turkey..then. When I tried again..it wasnt the same. ..made me nauseous..once i added up the math one day the deal was sealed. Never had one again.

You could spend the money upgrading to organic food instead.

the 60’s sure were a capitalistic time weren’t they lmao

Still he quit which is the important part

Actually in 1966 the Us Surgeon General Luther Terry was the first to have a warning put on the packet of cigarettes.

And 20 years after this Tobacco Execs still claimed nicotine is not addictive.

@@CaptainApathetic Uh-huh. They knew that nicotine was addictive but they had to say that it wasn't because if they told the truth they'd be opening themselves up to lawsuits.

Even the fuckin NAZI's knew about tobacco causing cancer. It took the U.S. a while to catch on ..

Mmmmm smoking mmmmm

This is London, to be precise.

What’s a San Francisco?

@@DefinitelyNotaFurrySpy-zq2zs USA?

Nah, there's not enough human excrement or needles on the streets for it to be San Francisco.

Lol

That kid didn't take much convincing -_-

LOL was about the write the same

give us a fag

lol not much willpower there.

Naivete in it's finest example, I say.

I would quite like it.

It hasn't always been 2023, and that was about as far as portable music technology went in 1967... at which time 21st century inventions didn't exist yet, believe it or not.

This is one commercial, and it's from Britain. Yea, I'm sure SO MANY people saw this.

Yeah

Except for the Nazis apparently

@@fuarkYT There are more commercials in existence than this one.

"Turning your brain inside out so you're always focused on your next fix like any other stimulant" is a gross oversimplification of what happens in the brain.

I have a similar story. In my 1975 Sophomore English class, the girl seated next to me kept saying repeatedly, "I'm just dying for a cigarette.'

Your BSc degree is degrading after reading the cohesion in that paragraph. What a simplistic way to think about addiction.

The same year I had an uncle die of emphysema and I decided not to smoke.

Be honest, you traded her a pack for a BJ 😅

The insiders are the most qualified.

Even the cats and dogs! As judge judy says "outrageous!"

Only half of the people smoked at best

Wasn't it almost expected back then?

Not everyone.

Well the best ones to warn us are the insiders.

They probably weren’t smoking cigarettes either. Smoke cigarettes!!!!!!!!!!

@@ChiefCodee no! they give you cancer

@@blueberry-babe1840 _Exactly!_

@@maogu1999 lol

lol!

Have you already quit smoking ?

Try psychedelic drugs like LSD or mushrooms, if done correctly it could help you to stop smoking with only 1 dose required ! If you want to stop smoking or other addictions you should read of the benefits of LSD in helping to rewire your brain into that of a non-smoker

@RP quitting a bad habit on getting on an even worse habit.not even wise at all.the purpose of to quit smoking is to keep toxins out of your body.not to make worse for an alternative that we all know is even worse for us already like LSD.if you want a better health.self discipline and people encouraging you to quit is the best way.there is no easy out!

only ussyis quit

Psychedelics aren't that poisonous, and one trip is certainly better than a lifetime of smoking. If they can help someone quit, we should encourage it.@@UPBEATFOREVER

So happy that you quit!

@@sanne433 it’s been 14 months now and still goin!!!

​@@sherryhudson6879 Nice job!!

My little brother used to work that kinda job too. Always said the same. Also had a ton of 18 and 19 year olds freaking out because the age was being raised to 21 and it didn't feel like they could quit (we're from Illinois, so this was a few years back).

Thsts why vaping is great. Yet the media portrays them as being the same exact danger as smoking

@@CaptainBones222 While it’s true that vaping is less dangerous than smoking it’s still not a safe thing to be doing And this is coming from someone who’s sick of the anti vaping messages

Cheaper to smoke weed.

Hundred bucks a week!! What the heck are they smoking?? Me not a pack a day so $35 a week maybe!! Have a few beers then drive around!!

There were big changes between around 1967 and the start of the 1960s. In 1967, programs like this were made and doctors were starting to see the health issues connected with smoking. But for example in a couple TV shows I remember seeing from the early 1960s, patients were still smoking in hospitals and no one cared, and I've been told that's how it still really was at that time

The first serious publication of links to dmokong snd death etc was in 1953 in the UK! Buh it took time for peopke to tske notice and accept it. I remember the older generation dismissing it as hogwash and the government trying to spoil people's enjoyment. Many

Word was getting out in the 1960's.

So did you quit?

@@lqkwje yes I did .. this year 😁

​@@HussainFu before or after you got cancer? Quitting before you get is is more impressive then after you get it. That's like you saying you stopped rawdogging everybody after you became a walking biohazard. Keep your t-virus away from me

Where is Superman when you need him

But if you sold them on then you would be working for the devil

I don't know about that.

How do you know he's talking about selling-on tobacco cigarettes? Instead, he could mean he'd save the money he now usually spends on tobacco cigarettes and have his devil-sold tobacco cigarettes

@@thecreator3988 That's cool!

@@buttmuncher6938 lol

Addiction nightmares. I used to get them. Nightmares where I'd have to hide large amounts of pain pills and having a morphine syringe in Me. Shit is so surreal.

Nicotine is not more addictive than heroin

​@@VincentW2as someone who has used both, cigarettes are harder to quit. Smoking is so casual and can be done anywhere, also having friends who smoke makes it difficult to quit yourself.

So many of my classmates in high school and college/university should have met your friend and learned from your friend's experience. I tried smoking once while I was in my late teens and this was because my mother, my aunt, my late uncle who was my aunt's husband, my other aunt, and my older sister were all smokers who have since quit smoking. While I did not suffer the effects your friend suffered from lighting up, I also realized this is not worth doing again and have not smoked since. And let's not even mention vaping because it is just as disgusting and addictive as smoking.

When I was in a juvenile psychiatric ward (only for a week, for observation), a guy in there I was friendly with offered me a cigarette. I had no idea how to smoke and I inhaled half the cigarette in one drag. I got a great buzz so I did it again soon after that. One of my friends said I was looking kind of green and it turned out I ended up having dry heaves for over 2 hours (nicotine poisoning). Needless to say I never smoked again after that (except for pot once in a while). One of the worst experiences of my life!

Absolutely. Share this video with as many people as possible because smoking and its cousin vaping are both deadly.

They still do in places like Cuba. Of course, they all seemed to be out of order when I was there in 2017..

@java lanes bowling alley in long Beach, CA by the traffic circle! In the back next to the restrooms... Each button was like a mini pack of cigarettes

In Germany they still exist

Back in high school, there were a few restaurants with machines we used to hit up as kids. The staff didn’t care about us, they would change out our money so we could buy them. I came across a machine recently, I’m trying to remember where. I was just surprised as I thought they had all been phased out. But now I’m 37 and don’t smoke anymore.

Yes, they did. I remember seeing them in restaurants. I distinctly remember a price of 60 cents per pack on one machine (1970's). I also remember routinely going into local "mom and pop" corner stores to buy cigarettes for my mom, who smoked for 30 years and then quit. Although she quit around 1991, she still wound up with COPD towards the end of her life.

they are not wise if they are still smoking.

@@greeneyedtrixie thats what Bean is implying, genius lol

The first confirmed links to lung cancer dated back to the early/mid 1950s, so it was less than 20 years, but the message still hadn't fully hit home,

@@Keithbarber That’s because in the 50s tobacco companies falsely claimed that their “Filters” stopped the problems. This was debunked in like 1964, so they abused the legal system and overwhelmed the scientists with ads. When in the late 60s the scientists got ads airing, the tobacco companies had their ads taken away from tv, they suppressed evidence, found new ways to advertise and hid science. It was really till 1998 when the tobacco industry got truly exposed for what they did. They lied to Congress too, they all said nicotine wasn’t addictive when their thousands of documents said “We’re in the business of selling nicotine, an addictive drug”. Heck they even destroyed a safe cigarette (one that doesn’t cause cancer) in the 70s to protect the sale of regular brands like Marlboro. The actions of the tobacco industry was despicable but luckily today it’s now in the public’s eye to see.

Maybe before then as well.....

sorry for your losses.

Yup. My dad died at 62 from a massive heart attack after years of smoking related ill health, and my mum went at 73 after a decade of COPD - I wouldn't wish her suffering on my worst enemy. Horrible.

Couldn't.*

What type of cancer.?.

I hope she lives long enough to actually give up smoking altogether because nicotine is a really vicious and addictive poison.

I smoked 35 yrs. Tried to quit for many of those years and failed. Joel Spitzer on youtube got me out when i despaired that anything ever could. If your friend is still hooked u should recommend him. He is very insightful and pragmatic.

I dread to think how much smoke I was exposed to as a kid. I've never touched the things myself but I worry there's problems somewhere in the future for me.

Agreed. Check out another anti-smoking PSA made by the late film legend Yul Brynner because he made the PSA before dying from lung cancer as a result of his smoking addiction.

25 ppl are smokers whom hit the dislike button

I didn’t know that, useful information to know going forward...

ikr, and these anti-smoking cartoons are even funnier to those who used to smoke.

You must be very young I was born before 1967. XD

+Suzel Diego PLz do

So.. did you quit smoking yet?

it's been 5 years how've you been?

@@sk3llyisdead Maybe dead.

Dan Kelly lmfao

CaliCurmudgeon Reading into the background of the cemetery scene makes it really dark. Those were INFANTS KILLED BY SECONDHAND SMOKE, HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Johnny Smoke was creepy! I was 6 when that came out did it give me nightmares!!!!

SIG...

Maybe because it has such a hot and smoky home...and it smokes quite a lot obviously

May his soul rest in peace 🙏 🕊

I'm so sorry.

It's Satan in disguise I guess. lol

R.i.p. R.W.

That opening scene in Ms Doubtfire is great!

Not funny tbh when they're just brutally true.

@@frankchen4229 I know I used to smoke.

@@dannygjk i wish they made more of these now we are trying hard not to traumatize an audience full of pansies

@Alexandra Williams nope

Yes they are in the credits
