Hope youre still feeling that way and are smoke free!! I just quit, its been 50 days and I have not even thought about it. Dont pity yourself when you see people smoking, PITY THEM!! Know that you are free from that weed forever!!
I have successfully completed 1 day without smoking I have been smoking for 15 years I will keep updating this thread with my progress - Update 1: 7 days smoke free and I already feel much healthier 😊 Update 2: 14 days smoke free 😳 Update 3: 21 successful days ✌🏼 Update 4: 1 month yaaah ❤️ Update 5: Completed 3 months 😇 Update 6: Completed 6 months successfully 😎 Update 7: 1 year completed 🏆 Update 8: 2 Years 🏆🏆 Thanks everyone for all the likes and comments 🙂
Amazing seriously flawless. I love that she wants to help people. Especially others to understand the addiction of cravings. On top of that describes to replace certain words instead of cigarette. I'm not a cigarette smoker, every now and then I would have one, I vaped constantly and I have EPILEPSY. I drank every now and then, but today I am finally READY to quit. If you can go one day or even 30 minutes to one hour without smoking, you can do it, you're not alone, it's never too late. I haven't smoked in 2 hours maybe even 3 (time flies), but I already feel freaking great. Don't hurt yourself, don't harm yourself. This is a great strategy to persevere, not just wisdom. Keep going!! Thank you.
Great video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you considered - Mackorny Smoking Escape Blueprint (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to quit smoking minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got cool results with it.
A lot of the 'depression' is one's interpretation of the withdrawal symptoms. I quit five weeks ago (30year habit), and yesterday I had a fairly bad day (subdued mood, didn't enjoy an evening out that i had been looking forward to for ages etc). But kept reminding myself its just temporary. Today woke up feeling completely different, so pleased that I didn't allow a temporary dip in mood to become a spiral of negative thoughts and bring me down
Update - I’m still nicotine free! I would say there were some tough (ish) moods around day 28 but now I feel mentally better and stronger than I’ve felt since I was a kid
Excellent job!!! Congratulations!!! Very hard thing to do after so much time but you did it!!! You have inspired me big time. Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you so much Nasia. I can't afford your program atm but I've been following for a couple of weeks now, and I still get so much out of the e-mails you send. I think I am really ready to commit to never picking up another cigarette again! I just watched this talk for the first time and it is incredibly powerful! It is so clear you know what you're talking about and you really care about helping people. Thank you again!!
Guys and girls, When you are off cigarettes for good; -drink 3 lt of water -ginger tea -lots and lots and LOTS of vegetables & citrus daily And DO CARDIO This routine will rapidly cleanse your lungs & reverse the damage
Day 2 today, 🙏 I also cut meat and soda. I have headaches for the past few days. Can it be one or all three? Drinking water and going to the gym. Lost 5lbs. Today and last night was a little tricky with wanting to nibble at food. But no bullshitting tomorrow. No eating as a substitute after today!
3 weeks of not smoking after 11 years of smoking a pack a day 🙌 the most rewarding feeling for me is getting to know myself in a new way - I was really convinced that I could never stop, others yes, not me, and here I am, smoke-free days counting. Wishing all the best to you all!
2 months and 1 week smoke-free. I almost forgot how hard it was to quit.....but on January 10th I had a one hour relapse thinking it would relax me after a stressful week. All it did was make crave it more I stopped and never looked back. Stay free forever!
DAY 2 Since quitting, this is helping. I want to comment so that i can come back to this comment and remind myself the reasons Why i choose to quit. Good luck to everyone who is trying.
My friends i have stopped smoking for about 4 months now for good and it felt sooo good. I can now breath much better and enjoy my life more..just believe and trust yourself that you can..
Im pretty proud on myself..im 11 days smoke free-my two biggest fears were :1.smoking when going out-was out on day 9 and had 2 drinks and didnt smoke..😃 2. Going on a coffee with a smoker -been today with coworker that smokes and offered me a cigarette-I resisted and didnt accept..maybe this sounds silly but these two situations were my biggest fears when it comes to relapse in early days..so im pretty proud😊😊
@@weldinggirl hellou😊😊 im still smoke free,i don't have urges to smoke anymore (that are strong as the ones at the beginning), and there are even times when I forgot that cigarettes exist. Sometimes its still hard, but you will learn to cope with time so it wont actually be bad. I wish you good luck with your smoke free journey,you can do it!!! Best of luck!!!😊
Congratulations, Toni. At the moment, I'm stuck with smoking. Though since last few weeks, I haven't been enjoying at all but for 2 years everyday I've been saying to myself that this one's the last, this one's the last. And I end up failing the next day, and the failure continues.
I have decided to quit today 31-5-2022 , world tobacco free day . Wish me luck. Update 1.....Day 50 without smoke 🤟 Lost 5 Kgs by eating healthy and IF 16:8
I remember watching this video for the first time on June 2018. I was more than a 7-years chain smoker back then but really wanted to quit to have better control over my life. I am happy I have been able to quit, been 3 years almost. Thank you. This video has helped me a lot in the process!
I am curious as to how long the cravings lasted for you? After three years, is there any sort of urge or attraction that is still reminiscent of your old, aged habit?
I am smoke free for 36 days now after 23 years of smoking. I have been watching videos to keep me going and to never again touch a cigarette. That was a really good speech
I haven't smoked in 4 days, but I feel like it's pointless keeping track because I know that I will never be touching it again. Can't believe I actually started!! All the best to anyone who is quitting too. You've got this! Edit : Day 15 [09/05/22] without a trace of Nicotine. Like I said, yuck! I cannot believe I actually got started. I'll keep updating for anyone who draw motivation from this. Edit : Day 757 [01 October 2024] without Nicotine and I actually forgot about this haha because I decided that I would not be a smoker and it would not be part of my life any longer, but I wanted to give a final update.. Life has improved so much. My skin, hair, nails and FINANCES!😍 Everything is just better without smoking... If you are trying to quit, please keep going! It's so very worth it my friend 🙏😊
I'll be 1 year smoke-free this week, after having smoked 9 years, all thanks to this video. I followed her youtube videos that broke down the 4 stages. I can breathe again, i started running this year, & my tracking app Flamy informs me I've saved over $1k and gained back 90 days of life.
I am now three weeks smoke free as of today- cold turkey, and it’s been a great way for me to kick off the new year. I wish everyone success and positivity in their quit journey. I’m glad I came across this video.
Thank you so much Nasia. I'm going to watch this every time I get any sort of craving, I love this advice. I do choose to quit, finally. After 15 years of trying and failing. This is it for me. I will post updates!
Quitted smoking 48 hours ago, and was trying to find motiviation to keep going and this is truly inspiring. "Desire manifests in words, belief in behaviour" is mindblowing to me, so simple and logical but incredibly powerful. Every point she makes in this Talk is incredibly useful
Philip Piller 1 month and 16 days smoke free here after watching this video! Replacing the sentence ”I want a cigarette” with ”I want air” worked for me the most in the first few weeks, even if it sounds silly! I cannot thank her enough for this TEDtalk. :)
The hardest part is the habit or routine that has settled in. I just turned 47 ..... and I just want my healthy life again including working out & running again. I want healthy lungs (air), good breath, a healthy complexion, and not smelling like I came out of a casino. This was a great speech that motivated me now!!🙌 Wish me luck everyone!💯💕
I managed to stop 6 weeks ago after 30 years on 20 s day. I did it by cutting down gradually . From 20 to 15 to 10 to 5 .....and then one day realised I didn't need them at all. I can already feel the difference when walking or doing any kind of of exercise. It's like being 10 years younger !!
Inspiring to see someone else in the same shoes as me! I quit for a year and started smoking again after a party on New Year's Eve. Ready to try again and take it more seriously!
I started smoking around 6 years back at 25yrs old due to my lifestyle(moving to a new city for work). Before this, I was too productive and healthy by having good habits (sports, eating healthy, working hard without any boredom, and also, keeping my mind and body together). During these 6yrs, I didn't feel myself - I was instantly getting rewards by smoking and taking things easy (I just don't want this lifestyle choice anymore, I want to be like an athlete that I used to be and energetic) I have many things to do in my environment, so gonna work on it each 1by1 and get a dopamine. My life is good and grateful for everything - it's just that I don't want a stimulant... So, I'm gonna take a decision as Nasia said "Personal Potential - (Identity, Emotions, and Beliefs)" and QUIT!!! - I will keep updating this thread with my progress, wish me luck!
I smoked for 9 years and it took me 2 years to stop smoking and it’s been 2 days , today is my third day , i really want to smoke just cause I know it will end my headace but I won’t , first day was hard , second was easy and today is a bit hard. I will have a headace rather than having burning chest , stomach , bad breath , bad skin and yellow teeth’s. I won’t waste my money. Tbh I’m breathing so much better and I have no burns in chest and stomach. I will not be a smoker ever again.
59 years old, 54 YEARS OF SMOKING (since my Dad died when I was almost 5 years old). I'm signed up for your webinar on Jan. 14, 2020 and, after watching this video, I'm so pumped I'm going to start the 4C's method TODAY! You're AWESOME Nasia!!!:)))
@@benchpress_gg7564 he just said that he started after he lost his father. It shows what kind of a character you have if something like this amuses you to the point where you need to leave a comment like that.
I stopped smoking ten days ago this video has changed my way of thinking. I am not using patches or anything just your advice off the video thankyou so much smoker of 20 yrs
Day 2 of not smoking... This is so tough I've been smoking since 15...26 now n im over the self torture... Prayer is going to get me thru, this too shall pass, thank you Jesus in advance
Two weeks clean here. Don’t think a couple of weeks will get you out of the water. I’ve been here plenty of times before, and have broken thinking one hit of a cigarette/vape wouldn’t hurt…it will. Here’s to letting yourself breathe. Cheers and good luck all.
Wow, just wow! I really want to quite. I find just saying the words I love my son. Makes me not want to smoke. Because I do not want to die. I don't want my son not have his mummy. I'm going to watch this again. It really helped me to think about where I want to be in life. My greatest joy is being a mum. I want to live a long happy life with him. I can do this, you can do this. My son keeps me well and he is only 3. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you xxx
had two smokes this morning and crushed the rest of the box,honestly feel like crying already,but i choose life,thank you for this speech. 5 days,boooom!! Feeling free!!
Dont be so hard on yourself. Keep trying when u get a really bad craving take a strew and breath thru it slowly it relaxs the body and take vitamin C it will curb your desire...its not magic its still hard but it helped me..i am on week 5... I was a long time smoker its hard i still get nurves and psychological desires to smoke even that there is no more nicotine withdrawal symptoms...just a strong feeling that i NEED a smoke...i close my eyes and imagine my self having one of my asthma attack and its makes the desire go away...dont give in to it it passes after 10 minints. Remember u can win it. Its just a matter of will power. Dont worry just start again
22 and a smoker here who is desperately trying to quit. One of things that help are my memories of when I was pre teen and I try to recall the things that made me happy as a kid. We all had moments of bliss no matter how small or fleeting they were. Moments devoid of any thought of external stimulants. I try to connect with that version of myself and so far it has been working, simply remembering that I had been happy without ciggarettes.
5 days of not smoking so far, I really feel like I am going to make it this time. The trick with thinking positively and not thinking like "I am not allowed to smoke" worked for me.Thank you so much!!
God spared my aunties legs cause she almost had to have them amputated from smoking 🚬 cigarettes for 46 yrs plus a new medication helped cause it. But all they did was put stints into her legs. I’ve been smoking 29yrs and I’m here watching this video while smoking the last few cigarettes I have left. I will be sharing this great advice and video with my auntie to help her as well as myself. She and I quit drinking 🍷 together, so we’re quitting smoking together. I’m ready for freedom and not being held bound to a strong hold called a cigarette. I’m going to replace my cigarettes with better thoughts, a pen, paper, and a guitar. Gaining new knowledge, writing songs, and learning to play the guitar after all of these years putting it off. Thanks so much for this video and the wisdom it brings me. And I pray it helps my auntie as well. Much love!!
It is so wonderful to see someone that truly spends their life helping others. The joy on her face, when she talked about Mellissa’s surgery being successful, was so beautiful.
Fear Not Philip Piller 1 month and 16 days smoke free here after watching this video! Replacing the sentence ”I want a cigarette” with ”I want air” worked for me the most in the first few weeks, even if it sounds silly! I cannot thank her enough for this TEDtalk. :)
sinn r awesome Way to go and no it doesn’t actually sound silly at all.... I’m 10 days smoke free tomorrow, and I have to tell you it’s not been bad at all, it’s been pretty easy specially after the first few days, and I have to tell you just going cold turkey best way to do it.... anyway keep up the good work!!!!
I'm quitting smoking as of tomorrow December 5 2021, been smoking for more than 20 years and I've seen many videos and I think I'm ready, wish me good luck and my God give me strength to do so! Hasn't been the most stable year of my life but i need a victory like this one
1:57 dopamine and how it effects you 5:26 your personal potential 7:02 how to eliminate smoking behavior (What to think/do when you smoke). 8:39 what happens during your mind during smoking, how to change what your mind thinks. 11:00 how words create thoughts and what to think during a craving 14:00 how to get dopamine without cigs
Amazing inspiring and I've quit many many times but when emotions are intense I go back but I will never stop trying. I stopped for various periods and tried vaping 3 months ago. Got off ciggarettes and when i successfully stopped vaping in4 days I started smoking again as weight increased. 3 weeks vape free I managed to stop cold 4 days a week ago but bad news came and i smoked. 28 days vape free, 3 weeks smoking and im always ready to stop but struggle with fear. Universe brought me positive news today re a new career and smoking won't be good in this industry then this video was no.1 on my home page so as the sun is shining here in UK September 16th and 16 days till my work trial I think this is a sign to let go again. Thank you for reading and thank you for this video I will update also 🙏🏾💜✨️
Because of this Ted talk it was really easy to quit smoking. Even on my first day I only felt happy en relieved instead of horrible with cravings. I even took a couple of beers on the first day because I immediately felt that 'it' worked for me:D I smoked from 14 until 33 years, 25 sigarettes a day and I never tried to quit before. Im smoke free since May 19th 2020 and I thank u Nasia Davos. U changed my life and I thank u for that!
This speech is one of the best speeches I have heard on smokers and why we do what we do and how to help yourself. I mean I have personally gone through those thoughts and what Ross said makes perfect sense to me. Thank you very much ma'am.
Firstly, I'm so glad that so many people made the decision to quit and was highly successful! This makes me believe that its absolutely possible. So I'm also embarking on my smoke-free, healthy lifestyle from today. Will keep updating as it goes! Day 1: Smoked only 1 cigarette! (When I used to smoke 12 per day). Day 2: had 1 cigrette
I listened again just now. She talks you through the logistics of the psychological process of quitting smoking and all addictions. Well worth playing at addiction rehab centres.
Im only 20 but I’ve been smoking for 4 years it’s soo hard to quit ive tried 10+ times, the longest being 2 weeks. The hardest part is that I like it. This speech is amazing
30 pack year smoker....Watched this video last year October 2019, I quit smoking a month later and have not had a cigarette since. Following her instructions to harness strength from the love of my wife and children, to HATE cigarettes and what it has stolen from me & my family. Get emotional about quitting, it works.
threw my cigs away today gonna focus on my music (keyboard and guitar) to replace my self sabotage. Thanks for this video Nasia Davos. You are a very beautiful and inspirational lady. Thank you.
So many in the comments here, saying they watched this 17-minute talk and successfully quit smoking because of it. Guess it's a powerful 17 minutes! Maybe I should watch again, but pay more attention; I've switched from smoking to vaping, but it's time to quit THAT too.
its just been an endless loop for me, quitting and then feeling proud for choosing to stop, then the next day i wake up with immediate morning cravings, and nothing else matters- i convince myself that i enjoy it, or if something pushes me over the edge i give in because i believe “it will make me feel better” but after i give in i feel so guilty, which then leads to more cigarettes. I need to stop now, because i know that truly feeling good is not having to rely on a substance and having amazing physical health. I hope that my next attempt is successful and pray i find the discipline. 🙏 wish me luck 🍀
Im in my 10th day mark and i can totally relate to u i was a heavy smoker for 19year All my friend are smoker not a single one i will the first I made cold turkey i was fed up and evry night i used to take oath for not smoking
I applied this speech to my addiction to sugar. The hardest part is truly seeing yourself as someone who doesn’t eat sugar and to believe it’s possible to stop eating it. Every time I go to a restaurant I’m going to struggle with the temptation to order dessert. The same applies any time I go to a cafe, ride by an ice cream store, etc.
This is sooo aplicable to other bad habits!🤔 Especially the part about believing in the possibility and seeing myself as a non-smoker. I am just starting to apply these ideas and perspectives!🙏 🙏🙏
I’ve quit several times. Once for 3 years, then started again after a stressful event and smoked for another 3 years. This time i just eclipsed 3 years on this quit. And I am truly done for good this time.
Not only that but dopamine tells you that you’ve done something good for your survival in the long run which makes smoking even more difficult to quit because your brain actually thinks that you’re doing something good for yourself and your survival in the long run which is beyond ironic when it’s such a dangerous thing to do ❤️ dopamine tells you to continue doing something for your own survival but when it’s being released by something that’s bad for you then you will still interpret it as something that’s good for you in the long run 😮💨 it’s very ironical and such a weird way to make a product 🥵 thank you for sharing your own self and your knowledge with the world ❤️ a big thanks to you
This Video and Speech is really amazing , thanks NASIA , I stop smoking from 6th of Oct 2017 after 26 years of continuous smoking , I followed shes advice , I cultivate my potential , with dreaming and Identity , using my strong emotions and moving toward my goal with BELIEFS , my smoker friends ,believe me even in one week time the results and recovery of my health is amazing , thanks again NASIA for your magic words , thank you for giving a new birth to my life at age of 44 .
I have to say that this woman is amazing and she changed my life around after just one time of watching her speak about how your subconscious mind has so much to do with it.. I am now going to be getting my next tattoo as a nonsmoker after 15 years and it will be a pink elephant.. I cannot thank you enough...
I am quitting right now after 11 years. I want air, clean skin, good breath and not smelling like an ashtray. Wish me luck guys!
how is it going so far?
How's goin man ?
you can do it!
Good luck mate
Hope youre still feeling that way and are smoke free!! I just quit, its been 50 days and I have not even thought about it. Dont pity yourself when you see people smoking, PITY THEM!! Know that you are free from that weed forever!!

Guys and girls,
When you are off cigarettes for good;
-drink 3 lt of water
-ginger tea
-lots and lots and LOTS of vegetables & citrus daily
And DO CARDIO
This routine will rapidly cleanse your lungs & reverse the damage
I drink ginger tea all the time (just love it), do cardio, eat vegetables, and I SMOKE
Smoking alone cuts down the benefits from all those things A LOT.
I use raw honey straight from bee hives. Raw honey will do great job at detoxing lungs
Day 2 today, 🙏 I also cut meat and soda. I have headaches for the past few days. Can it be one or all three? Drinking water and going to the gym. Lost 5lbs. Today and last night was a little tricky with wanting to nibble at food. But no bullshitting tomorrow. No eating as a substitute after today!

2 months and 1 week smoke-free. I almost forgot how hard it was to quit.....but on January 10th I had a one hour relapse thinking it would relax me after a stressful week. All it did was make crave it more I stopped and never looked back. Stay free forever!

I am curious as to how long the cravings lasted for you? After three years, is there any sort of urge or attraction that is still reminiscent of your old, aged habit?
I am smoke free for 36 days now after 23 years of smoking. I have been watching videos to keep me going and to never again touch a cigarette. That was a really good speech
Are you still smoke free ?
I haven't smoked in 4 days, but I feel like it's pointless keeping track because I know that I will never be touching it again. Can't believe I actually started!! All the best to anyone who is quitting too. You've got this!
Edit : Day 15 [09/05/22] without a trace of Nicotine. Like I said, yuck! I cannot believe I actually got started. I'll keep updating for anyone who draw motivation from this.
Edit : Day 757 [01 October 2024] without Nicotine and I actually forgot about this haha because I decided that I would not be a smoker and it would not be part of my life any longer, but I wanted to give a final update.. Life has improved so much. My skin, hair, nails and FINANCES!😍 Everything is just better without smoking... If you are trying to quit, please keep going! It's so very worth it my friend 🙏😊
Well done! It’ll only get easier now
Do you keep going ?
Update please
How have things gone since September for you?
Day 8 .. I needed this talk ❤ Hope you are doing well !
I'll be 1 year smoke-free this week, after having smoked 9 years, all thanks to this video. I followed her youtube videos that broke down the 4 stages. I can breathe again, i started running this year, & my tracking app Flamy informs me I've saved over $1k and gained back 90 days of life.
,So amazing AuzTea
18 days of being an happy non-smoker, thanks to this helpful speech
22 days now and adding :-)
Alejandra Roa Peña so happy to hear your joining us on the path down the clear air highway, hope all is well
are you still smokeless?
Are you still not smoking till today?
Hello, how are you?, I hope you've succeeded in stopping smoke
I am now three weeks smoke free as of today- cold turkey, and it’s been a great way for me to kick off the new year. I wish everyone success and positivity in their quit journey. I’m glad I came across this video.
Were you having any panic attacks or mood change??
This video helped me so much, 4 years smoking free today 🎉 🎉
That’s awesome
Congratulations! That's awesome!
Thank you so much Nasia. I'm going to watch this every time I get any sort of craving, I love this advice. I do choose to quit, finally. After 15 years of trying and failing. This is it for me. I will post updates!
You're welcome! Keep us posted :)
3 days smoke free, This vid gave me encouragement. Im fighting it.
Quitted smoking 48 hours ago, and was trying to find motiviation to keep going and this is truly inspiring. "Desire manifests in words, belief in behaviour" is mindblowing to me, so simple and logical but incredibly powerful. Every point she makes in this Talk is incredibly useful
Philip Piller 1 month and 16 days smoke free here after watching this video! Replacing the sentence ”I want a cigarette” with ”I want air” worked for me the most in the first few weeks, even if it sounds silly! I cannot thank her enough for this TEDtalk. :)
Congrats! Hope you're doing well :)
The hardest part is the habit or routine that has settled in. I just turned 47 ..... and I just want my healthy life again including working out & running again. I want healthy lungs (air), good breath, a healthy complexion, and not smelling like I came out of a casino. This was a great speech that motivated me now!!🙌 Wish me luck everyone!💯💕
I managed to stop 6 weeks ago
after 30 years on 20 s day. I did it by cutting down gradually . From
20 to 15 to 10 to 5 .....and then one day realised I didn't need them at all. I can already feel the difference when walking or doing any kind of of exercise. It's like being 10 years younger !!
All the best! You can do it!
How did you go Tona?
The best video about quitting smoking I have ever seen
i was smoke free for 9 months then i started again now am going smoke free forever
Matthew Slivar same here 11months went back 8months ready to quit for good... good luck
Inspiring to see someone else in the same shoes as me! I quit for a year and started smoking again after a party on New Year's Eve. Ready to try again and take it more seriously!
I started smoking around 6 years back at 25yrs old due to my lifestyle(moving to a new city for work). Before this, I was too productive and healthy by having good habits (sports, eating healthy, working hard without any boredom, and also, keeping my mind and body together). During these 6yrs, I didn't feel myself - I was instantly getting rewards by smoking and taking things easy (I just don't want this lifestyle choice anymore, I want to be like an athlete that I used to be and energetic) I have many things to do in my environment, so gonna work on it each 1by1 and get a dopamine. My life is good and grateful for everything - it's just that I don't want a stimulant...
So, I'm gonna take a decision as Nasia said "Personal Potential - (Identity, Emotions, and Beliefs)" and QUIT!!!

I will keep updating this thread with my progress, wish me luck!
I smoked for 9 years and it took me 2 years to stop smoking and it’s been 2 days , today is my third day , i really want to smoke just cause I know it will end my headace but I won’t , first day was hard , second was easy and today is a bit hard. I will have a headace rather than having burning chest , stomach , bad breath , bad skin and yellow teeth’s. I won’t waste my money. Tbh I’m breathing so much better and I have no burns in chest and stomach. I will not be a smoker ever again.
59 years old, 54 YEARS OF SMOKING (since my Dad died when I was almost 5 years old). I'm signed up for your webinar on Jan. 14, 2020 and, after watching this video, I'm so pumped I'm going to start the 4C's method TODAY! You're AWESOME Nasia!!!:)))
Hope you made it
You started smoking at 5yrs old??
Bruh 5 yrs old smoking 😂😭
@@benchpress_gg7564 he just said that he started after he lost his father. It shows what kind of a character you have if something like this amuses you to the point where you need to leave a comment like that.
I was 5 as well I’m 56 now
Our whole lives have been a bad habit!
I’ve signed up for the webinar as well! 😊 wishing the rest of our lives smoke free !
I stopped smoking ten days ago this video has changed my way of thinking.
I am not using patches or anything just your advice off the video thankyou so much
smoker of 20 yrs
Day 2 of not smoking... This is so tough I've been smoking since 15...26 now n im over the self torture... Prayer is going to get me thru, this too shall pass, thank you Jesus in advance
I did exactly the same ☺️ 12 days clear ,how you going?
I've relapsed after 2 days, 22yold, smoking since 15
@@lidijxyz how u doing
@beepbeep767 I've stopped for 2 3 months, but i do smoke with friends on parties, I'm from eastern Europe
Two weeks clean here. Don’t think a couple of weeks will get you out of the water. I’ve been here plenty of times before, and have broken thinking one hit of a cigarette/vape wouldn’t hurt…it will. Here’s to letting yourself breathe. Cheers and good luck all.
Thanks Nasia, you are a star!
Wow, just wow! I really want to quite. I find just saying the words I love my son. Makes me not want to smoke. Because I do not want to die. I don't want my son not have his mummy. I'm going to watch this again. It really helped me to think about where I want to be in life. My greatest joy is being a mum. I want to live a long happy life with him. I can do this, you can do this. My son keeps me well and he is only 3. I'm so grateful for this video. Thank you xxx
70 days from last cigarettes
Lock down helped me
had two smokes this morning and crushed the rest of the box,honestly feel like crying already,but i choose life,thank you for this speech.
5 days,boooom!! Feeling free!!
Well done!!!!
Dont be so hard on yourself. Keep trying when u get a really bad craving take a strew and breath thru it slowly it relaxs the body and take vitamin C it will curb your desire...its not magic its still hard but it helped me..i am on week 5... I was a long time smoker its hard i still get nurves and psychological desires to smoke even that there is no more nicotine withdrawal symptoms...just a strong feeling that i NEED a smoke...i close my eyes and imagine my self having one of my asthma attack and its makes the desire go away...dont give in to it it passes after 10 minints. Remember u can win it. Its just a matter of will power. Dont worry just start again
Have you more air now?

ASGARD STUDIOS SA how is it going for you?:)
MY firs 48 hours as a non smoker- Good luck to all of us!
22 and a smoker here who is desperately trying to quit. One of things that help are my memories of when I was pre teen and I try to recall the things that made me happy as a kid. We all had moments of bliss no matter how small or fleeting they were. Moments devoid of any thought of external stimulants. I try to connect with that version of myself and so far it has been working, simply remembering that I had been happy without ciggarettes.
superb presentation - I've started her CBQ method of becoming a non-smoker. Already inspired and changing. Glory to God
5 days of not smoking so far, I really feel like I am going to make it this time. The trick with thinking positively and not thinking like "I am not allowed to smoke" worked for me.Thank you so much!!
More than 20 days so far
God spared my aunties legs cause she almost had to have them amputated from smoking 🚬 cigarettes for 46 yrs plus a new medication helped cause it. But all they did was put stints into her legs. I’ve been smoking 29yrs and I’m here watching this video while smoking the last few cigarettes I have left. I will be sharing this great advice and video with my auntie to help her as well as myself. She and I quit drinking 🍷 together, so we’re quitting smoking together. I’m ready for freedom and not being held bound to a strong hold called a cigarette. I’m going to replace my cigarettes with better thoughts, a pen, paper, and a guitar. Gaining new knowledge, writing songs, and learning to play the guitar after all of these years putting it off.
Thanks so much for this video and the wisdom it brings me. And I pray it helps my auntie as well. Much love!!
you are just an angel sent to rescue me from smoking.... i am free ❤ i send my love to you wherever you are❤
It is so wonderful to see someone that truly spends their life helping others. The joy on her face, when she talked about Mellissa’s surgery being successful, was so beautiful.
BulldogEDC Do you smoke?
Yes she is a great presenter.
I’m doing it, I’m quitting smoking.... I’ll be back soon to see how great I’ve done!!!! Can’t wait!!!!

sinn r awesome Way to go and no it doesn’t actually sound silly at all.... I’m 10 days smoke free tomorrow, and I have to tell you it’s not been bad at all, it’s been pretty easy specially after the first few days, and I have to tell you just going cold turkey best way to do it.... anyway keep up the good work!!!!
1 month and days later still smoke free, man if I new it was this easy I’d have done it along long time ago....
@@weldinggirl Thats amazing. Wishing you good health and power. Its been 11 days since I've quit.

I'm quitting smoking as of tomorrow December 5 2021, been smoking for more than 20 years and I've seen many videos and I think I'm ready, wish me good luck and my God give me strength to do so!
Hasn't been the most stable year of my life but i need a victory like this one
How'd go?
I'm quitting today. First day after 21 years. I want AIR, Healthy skin, soft voice, good breath.
This is 9 days since I quit, I keep going back to this video to stay focused.

this is really most brilliant way to quit smoking or any other addiction you got. just trick your mind in believing in it, that's all.
This lady has some amount of magic within her ❤
she is awesome
i totally agree
Thank you so much Aniket. Much love to you - Nasia
It's in her eyes, voice and delivery 😍
Amazing inspiring and I've quit many many times but when emotions are intense I go back but I will never stop trying. I stopped for various periods and tried vaping 3 months ago. Got off ciggarettes and when i successfully stopped vaping in4 days I started smoking again as weight increased. 3 weeks vape free I managed to stop cold 4 days a week ago but bad news came and i smoked. 28 days vape free, 3 weeks smoking and im always ready to stop but struggle with fear. Universe brought me positive news today re a new career and smoking won't be good in this industry then this video was no.1 on my home page so as the sun is shining here in UK September 16th and 16 days till my work trial I think this is a sign to let go again. Thank you for reading and thank you for this video I will update also 🙏🏾💜✨️
I put out my last cigarette 10 minutes ago and I’m looking forward to a life without addiction!
Hows it going sam? Still smoke free? I hope so. God bless you man!
Uh oh
How’s it going ?
This is 9 days since I quit, I keep going back to this video to stay focused.
That's really great. I bet you can breathe better and feel better and don't stink! Congratulations. I'm on day one.
After 10 days the chemicals have left your body! Can you update us on your journey? Xx
Welcome friend on the path down the clear air highway hope all is well
This is probably the best advice on quitting that I have ever heard and I have been smoking for 10 years now. I will put this advice to good use.
I've been trying to quit for years. I feel like this will help a lot . Thank u
did u succeed?
Good luck! You can do it!
Let's hope so
Allen Carr’s Easyway helps a lot too
Chew nicotex . It helps
Because of this Ted talk it was really easy to quit smoking. Even on my first day I only felt happy en relieved instead of horrible with cravings.
I even took a couple of beers on the first day because I immediately felt that 'it' worked for me:D
I smoked from 14 until 33 years, 25 sigarettes a day and I never tried to quit before. Im smoke free since May 19th 2020 and I thank u Nasia Davos.
U changed my life and I thank u for that!
Thank you for letting me know :) You're welcome and congratulations on your success!
Day 16 of sobriety, and I feel amazing! Today, 2/8/24 is day 1 of breathing pure clean air! I'm commenting to keep a record to come back to.
This speech is one of the best speeches I have heard on smokers and why we do what we do and how to help yourself. I mean I have personally gone through those thoughts and what Ross said makes perfect sense to me. Thank you very much ma'am.
sabarilal gopi
True
Couldn’t agree more
Firstly, I'm so glad that so many people made the decision to quit and was highly successful!
This makes me believe that its absolutely possible.
So I'm also embarking on my smoke-free, healthy lifestyle from today.
Will keep updating as it goes!
Day 1: Smoked only 1 cigarette! (When I used to smoke 12 per day).
Day 2: had 1 cigrette
I listened again just now. She talks you through the logistics of the psychological process of quitting smoking and all addictions. Well worth playing at addiction rehab centres.
Nice tips, thanks, I used to be a stress smoker, something changed... realized that stress is an illusion...now is all and all is now
My God, I cried while watching this! I am quitting smoking now! I want my life back...
beautiful, it’s been 16 days for me! help me God! this is a wonderful talk! thank you
I am prasanna from India, 32. I have been smoking for the past 14 years from 18...now its day two of not smoking. I will update this comment regularly
What's the status now ?
Rooting for you!
Nice updates
Yeah it’s hard to quit. Don’t beat yourself up if you fell back to it. Keep fighting and work on changing your thinking about it.
Im only 20 but I’ve been smoking for 4 years it’s soo hard to quit ive tried 10+ times, the longest being 2 weeks. The hardest part is that I like it. This speech is amazing
30 pack year smoker....Watched this video last year October 2019, I quit smoking a month later and have not had a cigarette since. Following her instructions to harness strength from the love of my wife and children, to HATE cigarettes and what it has stolen from me & my family. Get emotional about quitting, it works.
👏👏 Congratulations!!! - Nasia
Amazing talk...one of the best TEDx talks ever. It's not only about quitting smoking but replacing bad habits with good habits
It is not only speaking on how to stop smoking but also how to change and cultivate yourself into a new version. Thank you, great talk!
For real!!!
threw my cigs away today gonna focus on my music (keyboard and guitar) to replace my self sabotage. Thanks for this video Nasia Davos. You are a very beautiful and inspirational lady. Thank you.
She's a gem! 💎
Thank you I shall download this and watch it until it sticks in my brain appreciate it my family means a lot to me as do my grandchildren.
This is one of the most inspiring talks about... Needing air I have ever heard!
Just rewatched this! Thank you Nasia!!
Very powerful. I am on day 2. This is going to really help me..
So many in the comments here, saying they watched this 17-minute talk and successfully quit smoking because of it. Guess it's a powerful 17 minutes! Maybe I should watch again, but pay more attention; I've switched from smoking to vaping, but it's time to quit THAT too.
Thank You Nasia. Every time I watch this video I have more confidence to stop smoking for good.
2 days smoke free
Congratulations! You're welcome :)
its just been an endless loop for me, quitting and then feeling proud for choosing to stop, then the next day i wake up with immediate morning cravings, and nothing else matters- i convince myself that i enjoy it, or if something pushes me over the edge i give in because i believe “it will make me feel better” but after i give in i feel so guilty, which then leads to more cigarettes. I need to stop now, because i know that truly feeling good is not having to rely on a substance and having amazing physical health. I hope that my next attempt is successful and pray i find the discipline. 🙏 wish me luck 🍀
Im in my 10th day mark and i can totally relate to u i was a heavy smoker for 19year
All my friend are smoker not a single one i will the first
I made cold turkey i was fed up and evry night i used to take oath for not smoking
This woman changed my life
I smoked since the 80's. I have bladder Cancer now. It's been not a fun process. Thank you for your inspiration!
I applied this speech to my addiction to sugar. The hardest part is truly seeing yourself as someone who doesn’t eat sugar and to believe it’s possible to stop eating it. Every time I go to a restaurant I’m going to struggle with the temptation to order dessert. The same applies any time I go to a cafe, ride by an ice cream store, etc.
This is sooo aplicable to other bad habits!🤔 Especially the part about believing in the possibility and seeing myself as a non-smoker. I am just starting to apply these ideas and perspectives!🙏 🙏🙏
I’ve quit several times. Once for 3 years, then started again after a stressful event and smoked for another 3 years. This time i just eclipsed 3 years on this quit. And I am truly done for good this time.
Good luck Mike and winners never quit
this video affected with me more than i expected. thanks for sharing.
Not only that but dopamine tells you that you’ve done something good for your survival in the long run which makes smoking even more difficult to quit because your brain actually thinks that you’re doing something good for yourself and your survival in the long run which is beyond ironic when it’s such a dangerous thing to do ❤️ dopamine tells you to continue doing something for your own survival but when it’s being released by something that’s bad for you then you will still interpret it as something that’s good for you in the long run 😮💨 it’s very ironical and such a weird way to make a product 🥵 thank you for sharing your own self and your knowledge with the world ❤️ a big thanks to you
This Video and Speech is really amazing , thanks NASIA , I stop smoking from 6th of Oct 2017 after 26 years of continuous smoking , I followed shes advice , I cultivate my potential , with dreaming and Identity , using my strong emotions and moving toward my goal with BELIEFS , my smoker friends ,believe me even in one week time the results and recovery of my health is amazing , thanks again NASIA for your magic words , thank you for giving a new birth to my life at age of 44 .
Have you purchased her program for $597 or you've reached success by just following the steps in videos for free?
Awesome!
You and your team are so inspiring! After listening to (and because of you) II quit smoking again after 10 years. Thank you so much!
I have to say that this woman is amazing and she changed my life around after just one time of watching her speak about how your subconscious mind has so much to do with it.. I am now going to be getting my next tattoo as a nonsmoker after 15 years and it will be a pink elephant.. I cannot thank you enough...
