We need to have an honest conversation about smoking: The problem with smoking is that it is way more than just a physical addiction.
Smoking creates a temporary problem and offers an instant solution. Once your brain is used to nicotine, for up to 72 hours you are itchy,
nervous and stressed - but one drag and instantly, you feel really good. It also helps you focus and take breaks during work, while suppressing your appetite.
So why is it such a bad idea?

@johnjackson8709 22 дня назад

I'm 44 started smoking cigarettes at 15, I'm always coughing up nonstop, this video dumbed it all down for me. Now I know exactly what I'm experiencing and why. I think I'm ready to make the move and quit! I'm gonna die soon if I don't. Quit drinking 8 years ago, I was an everyday beer drinker. If I can stop drinking and never look back, I can stop smoking too! Wish me luck people, I quit smoking at midnight! ****update below *** Update: almost 3 weeks without smoking. The habitual cravings are definitely getting farther apart than before. still getting them for sure ,but they definitely aren't as bad as the first week or so. My body is realizing and remembering that I no longer smoke, so basically when I get a sudden urge to I'm like " oh yea I no longer do that" and just continue with my day. Cravings only last a few seconds to a minute at most. So I immediately just try to continue with whatever I was already doing and move on,. Works like a charm. I still do push ups but not at every craving anymore. The physical addiction was gone in 72 hours. That was the worst of it. After that it was much easier. Chewing gum seems to help keep your mouth busy and helps for sure. My sense of taste and smell has improved considerably. I do not cough nearly as much as before. My lungs feel lighter if that makes any sense, and i honestly feel much better! Anyone who wants to join me on this journey of quitting, or would like to help, feel free to join my channel! I'm considering on sharing my journey of quitting drinking and smoking cigarettes with the world, in hopes that maybe I can possibly help someone else do the same! Thank you all for your support, you probably helped save my life!

@BrainwashedMinion 13 часов назад

I puffed on my vape constantly for the first two months. It didn’t completely satisfy my urge to smoke but it helped minimize the cravings. I knew vaping was a better choice than going back to cigarettes but unfortunately you crave more than nicotine alone when you’ve been a smoker. You crave those other toxic chemicals as well unfortunately. Your body knows it’s not a cigarette. But like I said it helps with the cravings even if it doesn’t eliminate them. The sad part is even to this day I sometimes crave a cigarette when I’m really stressed. The cravings are much easier to manage and they go away a lot quicker than when I was first quitting but it’s an addiction that for many people never completely goes away. I wish I had known that when I started. I guess it’s more a mental addiction now.

The problem is that the fear-mongering comes from adults and is aimed towards children, and adults are rarely "cool" in their minds. Smoking becomes the cool thing to do.

I started smoking at 22 because I thought it would help me socially. I stopped at 23 after a few nicotine induced panic attacks. Went on to vaping but managed to stop that too. I don't know how my brain managed to take back control but watching this video made me feel so grateful that it did.

@@steep_rider3067 but it would also be nice to have a walk in the sun or a swim in summer without getting out of breath, no? Find something else that's nice in summer in the sun that will come to you when you're a non-smoker. Use that as your goal. You can do it. Just look at these comments here, so many other people stopping. If they can, you can do it, too. If you can't go cold turkey, try to smoke less. Like, take half the cigarettes you usually smoke, put them in an extra pack for the day and only take that allotted quota with you. Stay at that level a couple of weeks, then halve again. You'll still be much closer to your goal on your birthday and it might not be as hard. Good luck!

@aaronbozigian4310 6 дней назад

@@steep_rider3067I tried to quite vaping about 5 times. I was vaping on and off for like 4 years, that’s not as long as many people but I was as addicted as they come, vaping every few minutes from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed. My conscious brain was always flooded with nicotine. Quitting is going to be your own lil hell for awhile, as I’m sure you know. But I’m now 6 months quit and if I can do it, I fully believe you can too. You have to realize though that it’s not just an addiction, it is likely your primary (if not only) coping mechanism for anything and everything wrong in your life. It is terrifying to face life without a drug to rely on to make you feel like everything is ok anytime you want, to face life without that lil bit of control over your emotions and thoughts and feelings. But I think as long as you’re honest with yourself and you recognize that it’s terrifying and you know that your own brain is going to do everything in its power to make you believe that quitting isn’t worth it, I think as long as you realize that and have an awareness of it you can say no to it and try other coping mechanisms.

@@peterwein1716 Cigarettes are absolutely damaging to people around you, but there's little evidence that this translates to vaping as well - vapes contain mainly isolated nicotine without any tar (many even contain pure synthetic nicotine, not extracted from tobacco), so while it is still extremely addictive, it's not nearly as damaging to the body, and the vast majority of currently used flavorings are tested and confirmed safe (the exceptions to this are CBD, THC and HHC-P vapes, which is what the scare a few years ago was about). This is still subject to active research of course, but this is what the current evidence seems to show. The delivery method itself, atomized propylene glycol and glycerol, is perfectly safe and routinely used for many inhaled medications.

@@romart03ah but that’s the paradoxical aspect. Maybe your comment is ironic, but for those who are unaware, I believe the cigarette companies are the ones who proposed printing these ‘you will die’ messages and photos on the boxes. Why? Because they sell more boxes because of it, than if they didn’t print them at all. But how’s that possible? One word. Regulation. Or the lack of it. They want to limit regulation, by the government etc. They realize that with all the negative aspects of smoking… regulation will come for them at some point. But the worst case scenario is the government places a price floor, where the price of cigarettes goes so high no one wants to buy them any more. That’s the real nightmare… so instead they themselves propose that they will ‘tackle the problems of smoking’ themselves… by printing these useless messages and photos on their boxes. Because surely they make people want to smoke less right? But as other commentors point out… nah. They are really ineffective. Smokers are gonna smoke. The companies realize this… but not the government. So big tobacco sell lots of cigarettes… and the government get the feel like they did something :D

No, teach the actual science. It’s the filters that are causing all this damage, it alters the smoke holding onto the tar and breaking the molecules up into what’s known as “particulate matter” which is known to directly cause small cell carcinoma. A normal unfiltered cigarette has the same amount of negative health effects as drinking a cup of coffee in that it has the same amount of carcinogens as a cup of coffee, very little. The damage from the smoke in your lungs is significantly less too, because of the composition of the smoke. It’s less harmful than walking around LA when there’s smog. Filtered smokes on the other hand have 50-80x the carcinogens and directly cause cancer, while nonfilters don’t directly cause cancer. Don’t believe me? Look it up!!! They’ve done dozens of studies proving this, most recently in Japan.

I thought I could not survive the rest of my life without it, as whenever I wasn’t buzzed I would feel anxious, slow, just terrible. But then I remembered that I never felt that way before I ever started nicotine, it was the nicotine that was causing my pain in the first place, it only “solves” the problem it creates, then creates it again. It’s just a cycle that you have to eventually break out of, otherwise you will spend your entire life temporarily solving a recurring issue

this is actually genius. It captures smokers attention by complimenting the thing they do and you did a GREAT job at making it scary enough to potentially ruin smokers addiction.

@vonbl3 18 дней назад

He's not complimenting the thing we do, he's just stating facts, if you're not a smoker you will never get it. It helps, A LOT, with EVERYTHING, in EVERY situation. That's the deadliest part about it. Also, you quiting after watching a YT video is unlikely but it sure got me standing. I'll consider smoking less and maybe one day quit. But as of now, it seems impossible. If you're not a smoker DON'T start. It's great social/anything really, help but you'll regret it later. Don't get me started on drugs.

As a smoker, the fact that you decided to start the video with why smoking is fun made me highly appreciate it and actually listen. Usually it feels like most info about smoking comes detached from this perspective and makes me feel that the people who bring it never smoked and just exaggerate stuff because it’s easy for them to tell me it’s bad. I need to undergo a nose surgery soon and I need to avoid smoking two weeks prior and I’ll not be able to smoke 2 months after the surgery. The doctor suggested it’s a good opportunity to quit.

I will never forget the day my dad coughed blood for 1 hour because of smoking. we as his family are deeply traumatised by that event and formed hatred over a cigarettes. it was different from covid cough. it was terrifying cough I have not been able to get over. my grandpa formed a liquid on his lungs because he hanged out with smokers. after he went to surgery, his life expectancy went down so much and he died so quickly. this 2 seemingly a nothingburger event has scarred me forever. please quit smoking.

@@OllieTheMoop you should as soon as you can. Most teens start smoking due to social pressure or to keep up with the popular kids. It‘s not worth it in the slightest. Please consider checking out the links they provided in the description. A good friend of mine started at 16 and had to stop competitive swimming at the age of 20 because his lungs had already taken considerable damage. Don’t ruin your possibilities in life for social acclaim or a quick dopamine boost! It‘s never too late to quit.
