- Reactions of smokers and non-smokers to a new report linking smoking with lung cancer.
Reports from the Royal College of Physicians in London and the Danish Cancer Association have pointed to the link between smoking and lung cancer. Opinions differ as to the impact of cigarette smoking on a person’s health among members of the public who spoke to RTÉ News.
One non-smoker comments,
"If you want to be fit and well, you have to keep off cigarettes...I think it weakens a man’s strength of character."
Smokers were in general agreement that cigarette smoking wasn’t of benefit to one’s health, but the findings of the report didn’t seem to motivate them enough to stop smoking completely,
"The doctors know their own business, but as far as I’d be concerned, the fella who’d smoke twenty or thirty a day might get a bit worried."
The World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking a comprehensive ban of all tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship under the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

"I'm not particularly worried about lung cancer because I don't currently have it"

Everyone is OK until they are not. That's what I used to say to my mam. She sadly died 8 weeks ago from a smoking related illness. And my wife's grandma 3 weeks before my mam. Again, a smoking related illness.
I'm sorry for your loss. @@jasonkey7559
Wow, you're so much more conscious than a person from 60 years ago!

This Alex guy is hilarious
Hahaha
Classic 👌
Bam
I wonder how long would it take to go through a lighter or two in one sitting
What strikes me is how well/politely everyone speaks
Possibly because they would only air the polite ones...
Cuz they know they're on camera
The possible fact that one of the women was 17 and a half startled me 😂

I started smoking in 1985. My first carton of cigarettes was given to me in college by camel cigarettes. They set up a booth on campus with the ploy of being career recruiting. I believe this was a regular tactic to get people addicted young. They gave away hundreds of cases to struggling college students. Several people in my dorms started smoking then.
I smoked till 2015. I can’t tell you how much wasted energy and money that nasty habit costed me. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done (quitting).
I feel so much better now.
Bloody hell 🤯… These companies should all be help accountable for what they did
@@x2oChannel at least now cigarettes are dying out. Plenty of people still smoke them but most of the younger generations don’t and it’s more of a taboo like using heroin
Camel with no filter is a hard core fire stick ! Shame on them . I quit couple years back , absolutely hard to give up cause so easy to buy and genuinely at the time makes you feel better but now I'm off them it seems madness to do it , I still think about them from time to time but its no way the same pull it was at the time, If im on my death bed I will smoke again get on smack and coke and drink booze 🤣🤣 then and only then.
@R Voit 🤣 true though
@@Collerz7 Yep it took me many times to quit. I found out I had copd and it still took me 2 years to quit. Then a year later I found cancer on my tongue and that was a whole problem. It took me another 6 years to give up the nicotine gum. I know I'm an addictive personality so I'm glad I was able to quit but cigarettes took their toll on me.
The best thing to do is don't start to begin with and give them up as soon as possible if you have started.
Everyone tells you that smoking will kill you. What they don’t tell you is that it cures salmon 🍣
What
@@floridianman It's a joke. You use smoke to cure meats
When salmon is smoked large quantities of brown sugar coat the salmon, sugar can kill too!
Sugar, Cedar chips, and Smoke does cure Salmon and Ham but yeh Sugar has killed multitudes more people than cigarettes. .
Bada bing Bada bang. 👏
For those of you surprised by how "avant-garde" this interview is: linking tobacco to cancer has been done since the 1890s. In the 50s and 60s, the tobacco industry started working together to stop information and spread disinformation about tobacco being safe, that's why knowing tobacco is a problem *sounds* new, but it really isn't
I’m not sure you know what avant-garde means
Damn travesty.
Even Nazi Germany tried to ban cigarette consumption (it didn't work).

@@EphemeralProductions Because he was a authoritarian jerk and a pain in the ass to everyone when the subject was cigarettes. He did not care about the health of anyone, he just hated the smell and thought that was a thing of "lesser peoples" like gypsies and slavs. If someone had told him that "old aryans" smoked, he probably would not care at all for the healthy issues.

being both was the most common choice
Or both
There was a third choice. Become a priest
What about weed

I have always loved how the Irish people answer personal questions with "I do", "I do not", "I am", "I am not" etc rather than just "yes" or "no". Must have its roots in the Irish language.
Great observation, Irish & scottish gaelic don't have words for yes & no.

@@DRAGONS147 That's wrong, you have to use them appropriately to respond to questions. They aren't exact negative/positive yes no answers like in english
@@lordracula2461 Thanks mate
@@maddyg3208 It doesn't have its roots in the Irish language. It's because Irish people used to love to talk, you would never get a straight yes or no from them. Most of the people nowadays from their 30s down do not have the language skills and social skills that the Irish used to have, because most of them are glued to their smartphones so you might get a bare yes or no from them, or, more likely, a blank stare.

@@Alex_T69 if it's integral to your quality of life at that point then it speeding up your end doesn't really matter it's not like he'd want to live longer if he was more miserable.
I'm trying to quit smoking myself I slowly got into them, and there was never a point where I felt I was "addicted" until I really was deeply addicted. 40-60 a day when I could. Burning through pouches like tissue in a flame.
I'm using nicotine pouches and have given up vaping. Although last week I was really drunk and gave in to a cigarette. I felt like sh*t even then because I betrayed the promise I made to myself. If I die before my due date I don't want it to be drowning in years of self harm in the form of tar. Smoking is disgusting and I hate how it's captured my life so much. Its a nasty addiction and it's so deeply ingrained in my mind and it's what I turn to in stress or times of calm.

Imagine a reporter today asking regular folk if they’ve read a specific article
Hyper-normalisation
Sure but this was a time with 3 or 4 channels on the TV, with many programmes being seen by massive portions of the population, information sharing was far more homogenised than it is today.
The west of Ireland got Television for the first time the previous year. (RTE television opened..)There was only one I radio station “Radio Eireann” so everybody was listening to the same news. The Gazellion outlets we have today would amaze those people.
it wasn’t just a single article it was like the biggest news in the world at the time that a study and report found the very direct link between smoking and cancer

Crazy that that last guy was only 22 years old
It's bloody amazing how mature they all look. You'd never guess that girl was 17.
Mr Mhar/Marr with his expressions & thoughts reminds me of Jim from Taxi. What a good speaker.
I watched a video about the age/appearance thing the other day, it's actually really interesting. These people look more mature because the clothes and hairstyles they had are the same or similar to what those same people (who are now much older) wear today. So it's actually an illusion caused by us associating different fashions with different age groups. People have taken old pictures and edited them to change the clothes and hairstyles to match modern trends, and it makes the people in the images look younger.
@@davidhayden6116 Exactly. My first impression was she looks like a teenager wearing mid 20th century clothing. Her face looks very young, there is no way she could be over 20. I swear some people just don't pay much attention.

I wonder if he gave up crack instead of cigarettes for lent that year :D
He seemed to be a very smart and sociable fellow. If I had lived then I would have totally invited him to take some molly and coke with his company and then proceed to shrooms or lsd. I bet he had many interesting and witty stories to tell to laugh all night.
He as definitely hammers and crack was around in the 60s… let alone in Ireland
I am blown to pieces at the pace of the reporter and the calmness of the interviewees. Stark contrast between that time and my own life. I have never had a calm conversation with anyone yet and I'm already 42.
I think this is because of movies. I don't watch movies at all, haven't since college. Ten years ago. I noticed people tend to not be calm when speaking. But I am, and generally they calm, too.
Then last week I happened to watch a movie at a friend's place. It was on, we were having dinner.
It felt awkward how all conversations were artificial and agitated. And if everyone watches movies or tv series, they start speaking like that.
I write and edit for a living. The only people who are reasonably calm are the programmers. Everyone else, especially in sales is dialed to 220% one way or the other.
Nobody seems to be calm, but maybe I am also exaggerating a bit.
I do understand your point.

Dr. Teeth and the last guy both brought the highest quality philosophies.
Last guy was performing mental gymnastics to justify his addiction.
@@fireflameft2964 I watched it through again. It doesn’t seem like he’s “justifying” his addiction so much as he is excusing it. He’s not justifying it by lauding what he perceives to be beneficial as it concerns cigarettes, he’s simply saying that he’s comfortable with inevitably dying and he’s not going to quit just because someone informed him of the dangers.
I still think he’s got an apathetic, fatalist outlook on the matter, but I’m saying that his stance and “Dr. Teeth’s” stance on the issue were the best articulated out of the lot. Ultimately, I agree with Dr. Teeth, but also I get where this guy’s coming from in a limited way.
"Dr. Teeth" Damn, man. 😂
It must have been wonderful to be alive back then. Ignorant bliss is heavenly.
People seemed so much more considerate and polite back then
Damn, that last guy could talk non smoker in to smoking :D
In the past decade or so studies revealed that ironically "some" smokers are less likely to suffer first time fatal heart attacks. These are smokers whose hearts (rarely) developed additional blood vessels opening up additional blood supply to heart muscle. These are the exception not the rule, but an odd fact. Unfortunately smoking and Atherosclerosis are linked.
That’s really damn bizarre
I don't think that's linked to smoking though. We technically never lose our ability for arteriogenesis.
@@Enoughdata Yet smokers would appear to have achieved it more often than non smokers. I see a link, though it makes me uncomfortable to acknowledge it.
@@-Loki-- Well if we could isolate what link is between smoking and growing new blood vessels (maybe it's just the nicotine), that might lead to better medical procedures. I might be incorrect, but I think some sirtuins, gene repairing proteins, have nicotine in their chemical structure. If that's the case, that's where I'd look.
@@Enoughdata Lets not forget the hydrogen cyanide? I jest of course. I'm sure those doing the studies will pin it down one day. Maybe future generations will all be able to heal or rejuvenate damaged organs like we heal a headache today. God forbid if it encourages people to smoke with reckless impunity again though.
The last guy was brilliant. A true Irishman and human being.
He was the most incoherent, I wouldn't say that's brilliant. Entertaining for sure though.

The audio quality was amazing! I felt like I was watching a modern film that was stylistically aged. I swear, of the many things happening now, on my top 5 of most exciting technology advancement is our abilities to restore old media and to look back to the past in ways more familiar to us. I watched this and felt like I was seeing and hearing these people as I would with my own two eyes, which even just a decade ago wasn't all too possible with the limitations of cameras and microphones at the time of shooting.
Nerd
@@Aria23331 You're gat damn right!
Well with all the advancements in video technology over the decades it’s quite easy to forget that audio was something perfected quite early, and that hasn’t changed all too much for at least 30 to 40 years. Most high end audio equipment of today like headphones and mics uses the same technology as developed in the 70s and 80s, advancement in audio were quite incremental since
My point being, the audio doesn’t particularly have to be restored, it could’ve equally been recorded in such quality already back then
The sound is amazing

@@emmanuelgoldspleen2905 Like their english is so broken and im used to old videos of people talking old fashion wise and barely understanding them.
@@Lattrodon Yeah, true.
I mean it depends on the region you’re talking about. These people are city folk, and you can understand them better.
On the west coast, the farmers and communities there have a rather impenetrable brogue to understand. And they always have. That’s where my lot were from. So tricky to understand, no one would get anywhere if they tried.
But I take it that you’re actually talking about young Irish in the present day, who are lazy with their English? Like they have developed a modern gibberish or something?
Love these videos a great natural laugh
Crazy to think that 17 yr old girl is now 77 yrs old if she’s alive
And probably still smoking
Well in the 50’s even brands of cigarettes had adds with doctors recommend for smoke
People spoke so eloquently back then. Go on the streets now and see how people respond to questions. Seems people probably had more general intelligence without social media poison and mobile phone reliance.
People have still good general intelligence, the porblem is that as you mentioned the media and how it has mad it cool to speak and act primitive and uncool to speak intelligent. Before it was the other way around.
I grant that I do agree they Zap your energy . 😆 🤣 😂 😹 lovely man & love these videos.
Sap your energy, he says. It’s a normal turn of phrase miss O’Reilly
