    Don't smoke to impress your friends, kids. It's not worth sacrificing your life.

      I feel so bad for him, it looks like he’s put on weight due the fact that he can’t be active anymore like he use too by doing what he loved to do :( he seems like a down to earth and genuine guy.

    Take these commercials To the corporations that make these addictive drugs. These people are just victims of corporations that feed these poisons to the consumer.

      I had been smoking since age 14 and quitted cold turkey at age 39 in 2014. I just quitted, using no substitution or any crutch whatsoever. That was the absolute best method that really works. The first 3 years of quitting was the worst, as my body adjusted to the new condition and my lungs detoxed. Really taxing, physically and mentally. I personally don't think I could've handled that at age 66.
      The reason for my quitting? My children. I quitted smoking when they were born. I didn't want them to grow up as a passive smoker, as I had been throughout childhood, teen and adult years. My dad was a heavy chain smoker till the day he died due to a heart attack, in 2006.
      I love my dad. He's the best father, but he was a smoker.
      Stay strong, though. Quitting is seriously good at any age--as long as it is not too late.
