CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Rose H.’s Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2014
- Rose started smoking at 13, and before long, she was spending her school lunch money on cigarettes instead of food. Her addiction to cigarettes led to lung cancer-and the fight of her life. In this video from CDC's Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Rose talks about living with cancer. She never really believed that she would get cancer from smoking-not her. Rose had chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery (twice) to fight the disease. At age 60, she died from lung cancer caused by smoking.

R.I.P Rose.
😔this just made me cry my eyes out! My father went through this last year. He actually worked at the CDC. He was on Life Support for 2 months for Stage 4 Lung Cancer with a tumor larger than a baseball blocking his airway. He also had COPD & a blood clot in his lungs. He just recently passed away a day after his 63rd bday after months of chemo treatments just to prolong his life a little longer. He put up a good fight. But I cry every day thinking about the pain that he was in. I miss him so much. I just wished he would've stopped. I have never touched a cigarette a day in my life & never will!
This is the exact thing we have to say to smokers! I can't imagine living without my dad, because he's a huge part of my life. My whole family is. All my other relatives too. We must destroy this horrid thing before it destroys us.
Boo Hoo
I have just finished smoking my last ever cigarette and I'm never going to smoke again
My dad smokes, he has asthma and I never get to see him. He gets really angry. I don’t even remember the last time I saw him. I really miss him
Blaming _ I feel bad😢
My brother is suffering with stage 4 COPD. We made a short video of him asking people not to smoke. It's called Addiction/ the struggle to quit; that's because even though he is in stage 4 of COPD, he is still fighting against the cravings of nicotine addiction. PRAY FOR US!
I'm so glad that I stopped smoking in 2006 I started at a early age I had the Will power to give up a lot of smokers unfortunately don't have that
Well done Brenda :)
she is such a beautiful woman, for someone who has undergone chemo and radiation she looks very well
People with active cancer cells don't look as horrible as people with dead cancer cells or people who had treatment for early stages of cancer. Cancer is so horrible disease.
I am so happy no one smokes in my family but I am really sorry for the people who do
It's up to the person
@$*# cigarettes, and the companies that make that crap so addictive! I’m about to lose my mom to stage 4 lung cancer, most likely caused by her smoking a pack a day for 40+ years. She’s the kindest, sweetest person you’d ever want to meet, but just couldn’t kick the habit because of how god awful addictive this garbage is. :’(
My aunt got copd from years of smoking. With a portable o2 tank...she still smoked. I've tried 2 quit...social thing keeps it going
I think she did not survived she died rip rose
RIP Rose

;( so sad hope u will get better , people do something wrong in their life and they have to learn to fix it and be responsible for it
+sadsad sdsadas She died.
Why would you smoke and how long does it take to get cancer from amoking
You know.
Glad I never started smoking everyone in my house smoked growing up. My parents both smoked from their teens and my brother smoked since he was 15. I tired it a few times but never took liking to it. I think what got me was all the smoke in the house. It was the 1970's smoking in homes, offices, cars was just normal I hated the smoke could not breath. I remember at night in my room I would close my heater vents and put a towel under by door and open my window a fan blow air in so keep the smoke out of my room all of them light up all the time. I hated driving in a car 3 people always smoking I was lucky enough have them crack a window. I remember my father had been in the hospital for some surgery he had a smoking room in the hospital the nurses even smoked in his room. That was early 70's hospitals got rid of all that by the 1980's. My parents they didn't even care that my brother smoked they would buy him a carton when my mother went shopping every week with theirs.
I do know
Smoking is always a gamble. My uncle quit smoking in 1985 and died of lung cancer in 2014. His uncle and my great uncle smoked until the day he died, drank regularly, and ate eggs and bacon every day and died of pneumonia at 85. And a great aunt of my wifes quit smoking in her 70’s and lived to be 96.
To Robert Langley: where is your comment?
Yet legal
It's a person's choice
😯
I can't stop. I have been hospitalized for my asthma before I even started smoking. That was when I was 12. Now I'm 18 trying my hardest but failing and I'm scared that I'm not even gonna make it to 20.
Ya know????
Shouldn't the chemotherapy, the surgery, and all the medicine have helped her live? I'm confused. I thought chemo was supposed to help.
In the lung cancer's case unfortunately, it only slows donw the process. When they find lung cancer it's usually on a very developed state...
I hope your comment is meant to be facetious. If not, your ignorance is staggering. Unless you've been living under a rock all your life, you would know that chemo is NOT a cure for cancer. Surgery is NOT a cure for cancer. In many cases, they just add only a few months of life to the patient. You need to read more and LEARN more.
Smoking is like needing a soother to suck on. I quit tomorrow. It's a dirty disgusting habit.
I hope God will punish who makes and sells cigarettes amen 🙏🏼
My dad been smoking since he was 13 he's 55 now..smokes a pack and half a day...he has a smokers cough but is alive...so imma keep smoking
Some die some dont. If God wants u, nothing u can do.
GET OFF SOUTH PARK STUDIOS AND STOP VIOLATING THE CALM ACT!
E-cigs are the way to go and you know it.
+castello west Before you start smoking E-cigs, check out the teenager in Alberta Canada whose E-cig device exploded in his face, causing serious injury.
Don't smoke, period.
+L Duranceau they produce no smoke and are saving millions from the harm of smoking. Supposedly over 400,000 smokers die in the US each year. www.gov.uk/government/news/e-cigarettes-around-95-less-harmful-than-tobacco-estimates-landmark-review
+castello west You are totally wrong and you know it.
No They're Not. You're still addicted to Nicotine.
Yawn.
