I like how Dr. Todd talks about the different body parts that are being affected when smoking. He also talks about the how the brain is affected by smoking. This is one of my favorite lecture videos.
You usually grow out of Mary Jane. When you hit 40 you're tired all the time and you end up not wanting to be tireder. (I understand that's not a word). Especially the longer you smoke cigarettes the more mj hurts your lungs and throat. You can only handle 1. Usually cigs are the keeper because you've been doing it longer and it's almost impossible to quit.
I have been off cigarettes for 16 years and I agree with everything you say. Even now 16 years on, I am suffering from COPD, which limits my exercise ability and is a damn nuisance. Since you are an obvious life-long non-smoker, I would like to suggest some points that you might want to bring up in future presentations. No one forced us to smoke. We LIKED it. The nicotine rush is all good. It clears your mind, focuses your concentratiion, and is a great cure for sleep deprivatiuon. The problem is that it is accompanied by pure smoke, and I don't have to explain that drawback to you. Alas, cigarette smoke DOES taste good and does NOT smell bad - unless you are a non-smoker.You'll hate me for saying this, but it was a pleasure. Whenever I felt bad, Marlboro Red was by my side, and he was good company. I think you should bring up in your talks that the end of smoking was not that the smokers were against it, but that all the OTHER people hated it. When I began, in my youth, it was a socially acceptable thing and we all did it. To hell with the Surgeon General. What broke us was the girls who wouldn't go near us, the jobs where we couldn't smoke, the armed forces making it practically illegal, and the whole society beating us up for it in general. In short, it simply stopped being cool. I think when you list all the things that decimated cigarettes, you missed the most important point: It was the the ENVIRONMENT that squashed the habit. Not the tree huggers, the social environment. I bet if you have the data, you'll find something interesting. Hard liquor has gone out of style; wine is the new alcohol. To me (old guy) wine was for girls and I could finish a bottle in one dinner. I went for the hard stuff (I still do, but I've paid for it.) Please give it a passing thought that the cure for alcohol is not therapy, but society. Intoxicants are stupid, and we have to get that word out. Thanks for a good presentation. Please feel free to re-publish this as you please, though 'll withold my last names. All my friends are going to know who I am anyway. 1.
Thanks for all your work , this videos are helping me to understand what is going on my body , I quite smoking tabaco few days a go and I will not smoke ever again.
i knew about this. my rehab gave us lots of lectures on it. being now 20 years clean I am forced to attend zoom meetings and I am astonished by the amount of addicts vaping, simply substituting one drug for another. that is not being clean, smoking is a mood-altering substance and used to hide real feelings. the opposite of the 12 step program. SAD.
to be honest some things are will power. i smoked cigarettes then i quit for about 4 years then i started smoking again then i quit again. i want this to be my LAST time. honestly i wanna live a long productive life. i wanna see my kids grow up. I'm young now but i want grand kids. i wanna go back to school. there's things i want to do projects to work on. how am i suppose to accomplish ANY of this by killing myself with cigs???
It's pretty optimistic to believe the majority of your clients will die of a tobacco-related disorder. With substance abuse recovering rates being alarmingly low, it's much more likely their drug of choice will be the cause of their demise. That's why tobacco lectures in treatment centers usually fall on deaf ears.
This guy is using politically driven statistics, especially when claiming that most of the smokers one "sees" have comorbid addictions to more serious drugs, illegal and legal. Before politicians decided to "de-normalize" smoking it seemed that everyone smoked. It was a social ritual to offer cigarettes to one another. Also in those days there was much less drug addiction than today, including addiction to alcohol. I am not horribly old but most of my friends smoke currently and over the years most of my friends were smokers. I can think of a number of smokers who were never addicted to other substances. Today's medical practitioners and politicians demonize tobacco with the same scare tactics that were used against marijuana when I was young in the 60s. There will be a backlash when people, probably young people, realise a lot of the anti-tobacco tactics are not completely true. Smoking will once again become fashionable by "rebels" who are satiated with all the legal marijuana. Politico-medical folks would be wise to not over-dramatize the negatives of smoking tobacco.

Very statistical and informative lecture. I like how you mentioned the risk factors of tobacco and all of the cancers it may dominate on.
This was such a helpful lecture! It annihilates the ambiguity of smoking.
Thanks for all your work , this videos are helping me to understand what is going on my body , I quite smoking tabaco few days a go and I will not smoke ever again.
Thanks a lot
Excellent series. Each lecture was very educational. Thanks for sharing, and I hope it helps many.
It's pretty easy to guess why the rehab industry, so to speak, doesn't restrict its "clients" from smoking
Simply excellent job thank you

So out of bounds . Mr Perfect
Mass production of tobacco started in america in the 1920s.

I will make more money in chemical engineering if I quit vaping.

I will make more money in chemical engineering if I lose weight.
