I have made several films on smoking that are currently being used to stop people from smoking cigarettes and from vaping or using nicotine in any other form. I have smokers in my family. We have paid a very heavy price. I hope this or one of my other films helps you to quit. #vaping #smoking #nicotine
Its all in the head. I've smoked for 15 year's and stoped smoking 8 months ago. 1st month of quitting my brain was struggling after that no problem. Its not easy to quit you just have to want it. Find a person in your life that's worth quitting for. it gives you strength and a motive.
Thirty years later and we're still dealing with the same bureaucracy and profit-driven health care. Patients don't come first.
Quitting is a challenge for mind not body.
A chemical addiction is where that line blurs though.
The narrator is Peter Thomas --- the same gent that does Forensic Files. Awesome, smooth voice. Love him.
So did I.

I love forensic files
He sounded like a smoker. Haha
You quit when fear comes into play, and fear comes into play when you start feeling shitty on each breathing and a constant sensation in the chest
Honestly I quit alcohol, when I saw a close relative getting pancreatic cancer. Luckily, everythings fine now and it wasnt the deadly one, but I feel like that alcohol abuse may have cause it. Fear is really the best way to stop you from doing certain things. They should actively show smokers videos of conditions that are caused by smoking. The little pictures on every package help sometimes, but when you show a smoker a video of something horrible Im certain he will rethink. Is inducing fear of something aleady a methode used by psychologists?
the fear is a one fucked up thing. I quit smoking for 2 years because i got diagnosed with asthma. I thought i was gonna die so i just stopped and never looked back. It was really weird how fear make me do the impossible in a second. Now im trying to quit again but i cant.
Seems their biggest concern was getting paid to spend that extra few minutes with the patient.
Not just their time consulting with the patient but the screening and other tests involved in a proper exam. The insurance company won't cover it because they classify it as preventative. Either the patient has to pay out of pocket or the doctor/hospital has to do it for free. Either way it's a stupid system.
I'm not sure any doctor anywhere, or any one else, has ever talked a patient into quitting smoking. It has to come from the smoker him/her self.
I am at a loss here. I recall as a kid in the 1950's and '60's hearing people say they were told by their doctor to stop smoking. Did something happen in the meantime that I missed. Maybe it was health insurance. Back then, health insurance was not a major issue. Doctors took the time to care about the health of their patients. Today if a doctor is not reimbursed for something s/he is not going to do whatever that "something" is. OH! Maybe that is what happened in the meantime. Doctors and medical specialists of all kinds are wallowing in greed and hubris. And that (assessment) summarizes this video. Doctors are bitching they want money for caring about their patients.
So, the reason doctors don't council more smokers to quit is because it's "financially effective". Oh, that's just another example of big pharma being lazy & cheap.
judging by the age of this video, you could probably still smoke everywhere.
My doctor asked me if I ever considered quitting. I asked,
Will I live forever if I do...
0.13 the angle of his moustache is so irritating. You just cannot wake up in the morning and not realise that one side of your moustache is much longer than other side.
Maybe he had a mole on one side but the other side got sweaty

Thank you. I am trying my best to make an impact as many people as UA-cam will allow me to reach. It has been a challenge for sure.

@@DavidHoffmanFilmmaker You are. Keep it up.
I was born in 1969. My mom was a very tiny built woman so the doctor at the Airforce base where I was born wanted her to increase her smoking habit. His rationale was it would lower my birth weight for an easier pregnancy and delivery for her. She died of lung cancer before I even turned 30.
I have sad news for you
I've switched from cigarettes to cigars and now I'm switching to vapes. I haven't been smoking long but I want to quit. Eventually I want to free myself from nicotine.
I never found it that difficult - however, since I ‘quit’ I’ve smoked the odd cigarette from time to time for nostalgia (hopefully now, tho, never again) and the habitual imprint in my brain will never go away. A friend of my grandma hasn’t smoked for 40+ years but still thinks about it.
You’ll only really quit if your genuinely want to, or your body (like in my case) just says stop.
It’s totally psychological. You only ‘think’ you enjoy it. But it literally does nothing for you. Good luck.
My doctor told me many times to stop smoking and encroached me to go to therapy and take pills...come to think of it....anyways i quit
I quit ,start back up. Quit ,start back up. I don't buy anymore and no longer crave them
Good job!! 🤗💪👍
That is one full beard
I’m 25, been smoking since the week I turned 18, usually a pack every day or every other day. I come from a family with a long history of heart disease. My father survived 3 heart attacks. I finally stopped smoking 3 months ago, after getting back on antidepressants, but now I feel that urge for them again. I don’t even enjoy it now, it’s the sense of feeling like I’m getting out of bed to do something which I look for. Addiction and depression are a deadly combination.
Use cocaine
Daniel Permand I used cocaine daily for years, and crystal meth even longer. I was a drug addict through out high school, and after. I don’t use any illegal drugs now that I see how much I have to lose. People say it’s why I am depressed, but I’m sure I was damaged psychologically before then; which made me turn to drugs, which in turn made my mental state even worse. I’m a lot better these days.
@@kramraliuga5589 wyd these days then?
I stopped cold Turkey and I lived to tell the tale
Smoking is noteworthy as a habit because it is so damn difficult for people to quit and second hand smoke also harms everyone around them.
Michael Jackson needs to address the current opiate crisis.
OH WAIT
People always told me
Be careful what you do
Don't go around trying other drugs
*Ehh ehhh*
Pfffff
your youtube is chock full of educational and entertaining videos
It is, and so underrated. Tell your friends !
@soonny002 do you live in the USA, just curious because it really is not all that socially acceptable here anymore....restrictions in restaurants, bars, work place etc
I used to be a nurse now the pharmaceutical company is taking away long life customers away from Philip Morris fact the pharmaceutical industry is in the business of symptoms management and disease maintenance they aren't in the business of curing people that would be putting them out of business and that doesn't make good business sense
20 years later, now a more holistic approach is being done to help prevent chronic health conditions and improve prognosis and reduce costs. Still a long way to go though.
It's true smoking is a major health hazard. It's also true is that doctors get major funding from pharmacutical companies for prescribing their medicines. This is fact. With smokers, they'll get chest infections more times in a year than a non-smoker would over a 5 year period. We don't need to be mathematicians to work out how much a doctor would get paid each time he prescribed an anti-biotic from any particular pharmacutical. This is fact. I know people working in a pharmactucial company.
It's amazing so much money is sent to cancer treatments, rare childhood diseases but not this. Seriously big pharma are REALLY this cheap, greedy, and lazy? Then again you probably are.
I am a smoker and many times over the years I have thought to myself that I wish I had never started smoking. Many doctors did counsel and encourage me to stop. I have cut back on the number of cigarettes I smoke per day and I am pleased with myself for doing so. The problem for me is that I still enjoy smoking tobacco and despite the fact that it is not good for me, I will probably continue to do so, if or, until I absolutely reach the point, for whatever reason, that I no longer enjoy it. I think that it is easy to quit smoking once you have reached the point where you say to yourself, " I don't enjoy anything about smoking cigarettes anymore and I am going to quit for good." 99.9 % of ex- smokers that I have talked with have told me that's how they were finally able to stop smoking.
Bob Dobbs it’s difficult to explain or describe for me. I just stopped without much thought. It’s like my body decided for me. Although I have smoked intermittently (very briefly) since packing it in (36 now), i hope I’ll never smoke again. But I know I’ll always think about it from time to time. That’ll never go.
Today according to the Center for Disease Control as of 2016 the smoking rate is 15.5% in the United Stated.
smoking IS a personal choice, BUT when it comes to national health care like in the NHS suddenly I take a very different stance.
Your comment is an interesting one and I am sure that some medical schools have changed since this film was made. Unfortunately, some have not. Nonetheless, it is a meaningful suggestion and I have changed my title as a result.
Thank you.

0:13 is that the principal from the original degrassi junior high show?
They used to tell people to start smoking to reduce stress
Welp. My moms nearly quick and finally got her to take it seriously (while my uncle was dying of lung cancer) She got a lung doctor that told her smoking “half a cigarette” is ok and how she is back to a pack a day after I had her close to quitting for 3 months. I’m at a loss. It’s consuming.
@amer1cancer2753
why are some drugs put down but some are promoted?
what about alcohol , caffeine , msg and all the pharmaceutical drugs?

I hated when I paid cash for my healthcare, and part of my bill was tobacco cessation (I chew). Anyone with a brainstem knows tobacco use can be harmful. If you're going to take time with preventative care, teach people about diet modifications, probiotics, things they have less of a chance to be fully aware of. Don't charge me $40 for telling me to quit chewing for a few minutes.

It took less than 15 years of smoking cigarettes for my teeth to rot and fall out. I take care of my teeth, there was no reason for them to fall out. I had a wisdom tooth removed and the moment the dentist looked in my mouth, he asked how long I had been smoking. Now random people I meet think I'm a meth-head because of my teeth, but I've NEVER done meth, EVER!
15 years, that's all it took. Word to the wise, quit while you can before it's too late!
PainHoarder you still alive and looking like a jackolantern???
Current smoker agrees, and none too happy about it.
painhoarder:
i have been smoking for 35 years and my teeth have not rotted or fallen out. i guess there's no reason for them to have NOT fallen out, by your logic.
My takeaway is, those Doctors in the video at least, don't want to spend their time uttering an extra word if they cannot bill insurance....
Cigarettes I could quit. Pipe tobacco?
That’s going to be a challenge.

@inkey2 I seen CCTV footage of the old lady been refused help and walking in front of traffic. I seen it with my own eyes. I've seen loads of stuff like that in the US. Watch the film Sicko and then see how much better the EU healthcare is. Just watch it, trust me. Then come back and say i'm not right!
Seems like every video on UA-cam was uploaded in 2009
Can they explain why 33% of lifelong smokers (25 years or more) of a pack a day live past the average life expectancy of 85 and do not die of a smoking related illness according to the CDC?
Has anyone researched what effect the rubber particles from tire tread wear does when inhaled?
Do you realise that almost by definition, half of all people in any random sampling should live past the *average* life expectancy?
@@user-ro7zp2ug3o Did I miss the study on tires?
LOL YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT. I DON'T BASE MY LIFE OFF HOW OTHER PEOPLE LIVED. THAT'S PLAIN LUDICROUS AND STUPID.
ARE YOU THAT INSECURE ABOUT YOUR OWN SELF WORTH TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COMPARE YOUR LIFE TO OTHER PEOPLE? LOL
DAMN SHAME.
This means that 66% of lifelong smokers don't reach 85 (or just barely live to it).
Sounds horrible
Wellbutrin made me insomniac. Patch gave me a rash. Chantix gave me life altering nightmares. Not a drug to take under any circumstances. Vaping isn’t the same and frankly, ridiculous. I’m 47. Been smoking for 32 years. Have emphysema still can’t quit
So this is how it feels to make bad decisions?
Well, I guess you must love gasping for air every five seconds. Enjoy the misery of your own stubbornness.
Apparent doctors in Greece are telling people to smoke. . When I went there recently everyone seemed to be smoking everywhere. As a non smoker it was disgusting. So much for sophisticated Europe
Tom Davis - I live in Greece, and I have yet to encounter a physician who encouraged anyone to smoke; there are still some doctors who continue to smoke - especially among the older generation - but the number of smokers among healthcare professionals in Greece, as well as in other parts of Europe, is dramatically on the decline. As for sophistication, smoking has nothing to do with it one way or another.
my diabetes will kill me before cigarettes do, I know both is twice as fast but...even if I didn’t smoke I probably wouldn’t make it past 55 anyway
95 years old in Jesus name
all they care about is money, never taking the time to truly get to know their patient and try to give them preventative health instructions
I use to smoke, then is started vaping. Vape people.
Name one adiquit smoking cessation method other than pure willpower
This says a lot more than about tobacco. We need serious reform in the pharmaceutical industry and health-care in general
@inkey2 Ehm because that's where their doctor is? and isn't it nicer to get better in some foreign more exotic country?
Answer: Because they're an adult and you can't force them to do anything.
How can a Dr stop someone from amoking. Follow you around and bat every cig out of their hands?
1:15 im sure he smoked a lot in the past.
More money for these doctors that's itt
More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette. And I enjoy Camels for the same reasons so many doctors smoke them, they have a cool mildness, and a flavor unmatched by any other cigarette. Camels please my taste and suit my throat. Very enjoyable cigarettes!
Call for Phillip Morris 😂
U can't stop someone from smoking people are gonna do what they want even if it kills em so just let wm
☮️Beautiful and More!‼️💟
I've stumbled across this by accident whilst smoking - and drinking! America has a very different health framework to Britain. Over here the tax is so high on cigarettes that it yearly pays for the entire NHS almost tenfold, so when I finally succumb to something nasty I've more than paid for my treatment. By the way, it is a fact that 100% of all non smokers will die. Sorry.
Nobody becomes a smoker because they don't know it's bad for them. People become smokers because they don't understand what an addictive drug nicotine is. No one ever plans to have a pack a day habit.
same can be said for any addiction. But we have known for over half a century how dangerous smoking is, but people get addicted, and addiction overpowers the logic part of the brain, because that's part of being addicted to something. I smoked for many years, but after watching a few loved ones die from it, it really changed my mind about what I was doing to myself!
Oprahs FatAss too true I started in the 1970s I new it was bad for me but didn’t realise how addictive it was .Stopped 9 years ago but took up vaping 2 years ago the craving for cigarettes never left me.
Nicotine is nothing
@Daniel hosking Shrooms prevent nicotine addiction.
So lets all ignore this guys name is oprahs fatass 😂😂
The US is all about money, even in hospitals. In the EU doctors care! and they drive big cars, have big houses and millions of euros. Who needs more than that?
Treating smokers aggressively is only going to result in negative outcomes my friends.
2:37 - American physicians willing to devote “two minutes” of unpaid time to their patients?! What planet in which universe is this dude living on?

@inkey2. I live in New Zealand. Those restrictions you were talking about are futile... If they can't smoke in restaurants, they'll just smoke elsewhere. I'm talking about the type of restrictions imposed on things like murder and rape. The same kind of restrictions should be placed on smoking because it is very much like murder and rape. Smokers are forcing others to inhale second hand smoke against their will which affects their health negatively. But this won't happen to smoking.
So basically what they're saying is they refuse to help you unless they are paid for it. They will only address the issue they can bill for even if another more obvious issue is probably contributing to your problems. Thanks medicine
There's a plant called Artemesia Vulgaris, aka Mugwort, which you can buy cheap on the internet. It was used to brew beer before the discovery of hops, it was also called "sailor's tobacco" and used for thousands of years. It's non-addictive, mellow-tasting, and gives you very vivid and cool dreams.
It's far safer than tobacco, and makes a good alternative. It's only unsafe to pregnant women, because it's an "abortificant" and causes miscarriage. Other than that it's totally safe.
Just smoke weed
@caniolle I believe smoking represents a social dilemma more than an individual problem. Smoking will always be a problem because it is socially acceptable. Sure I can give advice to my patients and spend an hour talking to them, then what? I let them go back to an environment where they are constantly bombarded by smoking advertisements, smoking peers, and second hand smoke. A social redesign is needed, the doctors are just treating the symptoms, not the illness.
@FieldMarshalRommel23 well why is the USA "where their Doctor is"..if they live 3000 miles away? My point was that other countries bash the united states for no national health care but when they get really sick they come to the USA for treatment. Thats because we have the best health care facilities in the world. And as far as "nicer to die in an exotic country".......most people would rather die in their own bed
Also we got an extra 200 trillion to spend than the US.
Some people have mental illness and smoking is the only joy they get out of a miserable life
@FieldMarshalRommel23 well thats what I am saying.......it is the best health care in the world.......the only catch is money. Just because half the population cant afford it does not reflect on how good our clinics and doctors are, those are two different issues...............oh,,,,,and go back and read what YOU said....you did say......It is nicer to die in an exotic country"
BULLSHIT!!! You can't make money when people are healthy! You gotta keep them dependant, needing you$$$$
11 years nicotine free and am not going back to that dark place with the hackin and coughing and getting colds all the time . It makes people weak and sweaty and costs alot of money . It ruins your taste and smell and gives men "wet noodles !" I am now smoking a gram of pot per week instead to stave off nicotine cravings and it is working . I am not going back to that dark nicotine place ever and I also gave alcohol the old heave ho out of my life about 30 years ago but I will do shrooms once in a while if I could only get my hands on those slimy little treats .
Dave Schulz lol, you gave up cigarettes for joints. Yeah, that’s way healthier.
@@coltonreeves6893 it is healthier.
@@coltonreeves6893 If you eat it Cannabis is not bad at all.
@@coltonreeves6893 he smokes one gram of weed a week instead of 140 cigarettes a week.... And you're questioning if that's healthier... Right now I'm 50/50 on if you're being stupid on purpose or not.
It seems the doctors are only willing to talk to their patients about quitting smoking if they get paid for it. They're squaking about the problem but won't say anything unless they get paid. Unless they're willing to talk to their patients about quitting smoking for a few mins. without getting reimbursed, they just need to shut up! Because their part of the problem by not doing anything. Money rules
This is upsetting... doctors need to be payed more so they can tell you to quit smoking. We all know it's not good for the body. One dose 5 dry grams of psilocybin and your cured for life from the addiction.
Yeah because you wouldn't know who you were
No fucking way, not even for 100,000 bucks.
You know nothing

@inkey2 "and isn't it nicer to get better in some foreign more exotic country?" is a direct qoute, I did not mention the word die! So get your facts right! The doctors are shit, they don't wanna help you unless they're making money, in the EU they think of your health. That's hardly a good doctor if you ask me!
@FieldMarshalRommel23 first of all a number of things in michal moores film "sicko" have been shown to be not true. Health care in the EU is not "better"......it is just that it is "free" (and not really free because they tax you to death to pay for it).....yeah, its better in the respect that it's free but not better in the respect from quality of care.
Human rights
My opinion is, make it illegal
And how is that gonna help? If people wanna smoke they will, the fact that the majority of people started smoking Underage, when they aren't even legally allowed to buy cigs or related products just proves this. What making it illegal would do is heavily increase the black market for tobacco and killing any chance of regulation. The tobacco sold illegally will probably be even more dangerous and of worse quality and there will be no age control. Teens will have an even easier time buying cigarettes, because news flash, dealers don't ask for ID.
If alcohol prohibition failed horribly a couple hundred years ago how do you think will a tobacco prohibition help anyone?
let me rephrase that.. make it illegal to sell tobacco commercially. make it illegal to profit off addictive substances.
not Illegal to do illegal to sell illegal to buy. if you wanna grow it do it. but I doubt very many people would.
my concern is the people offering it to the public not those using. sure people will still do it. but the issue is its every where. you can buy it at your local market... if you could by heroin at your local market with out a script you can damn well bet I'd buy and probably use it with reckless abandon. much like I did tobacoo. I rolled my own and smoke terrible amounts. I finally quit two weeks ago. hope that I can resist the urge infinitely. but it'd be easier if it wasn't at most stores. ps it's killing the people who use it.
how could home grown be worse than chemically enhanced?
@@panscentralexpresspresents4733 seems a lot more reasonable but im afraid that there will be a lot of people who will want to smoke but aren't willing to home grow, once again creating a black market.
Im aware that store cigarettes are altered with shit ton of chemicals but people homegrowers can also be greedy and/or unprofessional and lace their tobacco and/or use dangerous pesticides. Of course this doesn't apply to people growing for themselves but as you said yourself those will probably be the minority. What I can agree on is that we should ban the dangerous and addictive additives and maybe change how tobacco is sold, so it isn't sold in every store like candy. Im afraid however that the tobacco lobby will prevent that from ever happening.
I have to agree with you. it's a tragic happening to be dealing with. but I'm sure in time, with maturity awareness and expansion, all problems will get solved.
These guys think folks will just take orders
@inkey2 The best health care system HAHAHAHAHAHA. Watch the film Sicko! Europe has far better healthcare. Most of those celebrity types live in the US and thats where their general practicioner is, the doctor they know best. So when they get sick they call him! I didn't say anything about dying in a an exotic country, I said getting better. There's far little stress in warm america than in cold Europe etc! That's my point. Your job as it at home etc. so no one can bother you while you get better
It's ALWAYS about the money.sad.
Amazing to see that people didnt even care about smokers in the 80s. Thank goodness for medical advancements. Nicotine gum
#vapingisnotsmoking
should just install a policy where citizens are obligated to punch smokers in the face if seen smoking. if that doesnt help people to quit smoking i dont know what will
amer1cancer2753 What if you punch me?
I would break all your fucking bones!
VAPE,VAPE,VAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only way to get a smoker addict to quit is to tell him/her "you've got cancer!" AAAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHA Otherwise, why bother? Just let them wreck their health.
