Smoked for 12 years from the age of 15. Today, it’s day 294 I’m smoke free. How I did it? Cold Turkey. If you’re watching this and desperately want to kick the habit, all I can say is you have to be ready for it. Mentally. 100%. I’ve tried and failed multiple times. So what was different this time? My intention was serious. It was a “I’m done with this and I am going to go the distance no matter how hard it gets.” I read Allen Carr’s book, I watched UA-cam videos on personal experiences, I weighed out all the pros and cons in mInd. Remember, there’s no magic pill to success but you definitely need the heart and mind of a champion to not cave in, you got this. 💪🏼
Thanks man
U still non smoking ?
A non smokers expert opinion will always look like this, it’s just an advice and this does never help a smokers. A smoker who has successfully quit would be a real motivation to the one who want to quit.
Yup, a non-smoker with an MD and years of expertise. Not starting in the first place is real motivation, quitting cold turkey is the best way to go
I have never smoked, but I have searched a little about it and Alan Carr is the best way
I started at 15 and I wish never did. I'm 35 and have quit 8 times but I still smoke. That was a great talk. I support all of the suggested policies, including increasing the tobacco taxes.
Joe Justice hello Joe please leave me your e-mail here :)

Smoked pack a day for 12 years I tried patches , gum , champix couldnt maintain it . I went back to smoking . I finished allen carrs book watched the dvd basically I have changed my way to look smoking entirely and I quit cold turkey never looked back . 1 month now counting.. I have no desire to go back , I had pretty though moments in this period . I didnt go back , well everyday it gets much easier ... Everyone can do it .
welldone friend!! 15 years a pack a day and im 27 hours 48 minutes and some goddman seconds smoke free!!!going to do it too!!!
ASGARD STUDIOS SA=after 40yrs i quit 30 days ago===and i am going bonkers !
tom I hope you’re still smoke free. I’m 7wks smoke free using Champix after 20+ p/d for 40+ years. It’s never too late.
How u doing now
@@abhimanyusingh643 still smoke free ! I don’t even remember how was smoking
Smoked 44 years quit more times than I could possibly remember , Only for short or very short periods. 56 now , quit 12.06.20. 2 days into it but have no more excuses or reasons not to make this attempt the one attempt I never tried hard enough to achieve. Wishing you all out their success and there is only one golden rule that we all know about to becoming a non smoker.....you've got to want to be a non smoker !
How's your quit going now?
@@80sidd i started again but on the 29/08/21 gave it one last shot and have not smoked since. I have no desire to smoke and when i smell smoke i feel absolutely disgusted by it. Im genuinely done with it now even though it took me 44 years. Thank you for asking .
@@E-D-E2704 I'm a week and its still tough. Well, I've tried twice and managed once because I was pregnant and other time for six months ten years ago. Let's do it!!!!
you can tell this smoking "expert" has never smoked a day in his life.
35$ cigarettes must have gold in them or somthing lol.
My mum smoked...and died of lung cancer. These are just words, but seeing her die literally in front of me was shocking. I still smoked for 2 years aftrr she passed....but i stopped about 3 weeks ago, and am shocked when i step back and look at myself: that i have been a smoker for 20 years.
I never thought my life would be like this; the shame i feel is unreal.
We choose the way we die in future, by how we live now.
God help us all.
Good luck.
"Science" blames every disease on smoking if a smoker has the disease. That way mortality figures can be inflated. At the first of this video "ruptured aortic aneurysm" is mentioned as caused by smoking. That condition runs in my nonsmoking family. It is a genetic condition unless a person smokes. Then it can be blamed on smoking. This sort of reasoning will dangerously skew medical knowledge as textbooks are re-written to express politics rather than science. Countries with socialised medicine like the UK are terrified that they are running out of other peoples' money & the system is going broke. They desperately blame anything and everything, hoping against hope that there will be a financial miracle to save an unsustainable system.
Anna Morris I've always thought that when they say " x amount of smokers will die from smoking related diseases " . Mouth cancer is a smoking related disease. Suppose 20% of people are smokers, and suppose 10% of people get mouth cancer. Also suppose smoking increases mouth cancer probability by 50%. That would mean 30% of mouth cancer victims are smokers. However... In this made up scenario a non smoker has an 8% chance of getting mouth cancer, meaning that 2.9% of mouth cancer victims are smokers and would've got it anyways. However the statistics would blame 100% of smoker's mouth cancer on smoking
He sounds so clueless on what smoking is really like, he may as well be talking about smoking crack.
No. Smoking cigarettes is banned outside of businesses near doors. Smoking crack isnt
Quitting smoking is easy. I did it and never looked back. The key is to break the circle of the addiction by UNDERSTANDING its mechanism. Any substitution (with nicotine patches and the like) is TOTAL bullcrap - you just keep fuelling the addiction with the very substance you want to get off from. Also, making smoking more expensive will not do a thing. This will only make it look all the more attractive for someone who might take it up. After all, it must be great if they pay that much money for it, right? And the already addicted will always find a way.
Thomas Willmann Yeah i agree. Allen carr's easy way helped me alot.
ZHiKA I love to hear that! 😊👍
Thomas, you seem to have it all figured out so I'm not sure you care to listen but anyway. Every single quit is different for different people. Some people go through peak withdrawal 1 day after quitting, some 2, and some 3. Some people have NO symptoms and it's easy. Some have mild symptoms, and some people have a Very rough time. So it's really not fair to exclaim that quitting smoking is easy! Period!
Oh, I do care to listen. Even though smoking is not an issue for me anymore, I wish everybody would be deliberated from it.
I like to put things a little provocatively - this way they might get attention. Quitting is easy if you have the right mind set. The withdrawal symptoms with smoking are really just a mild annoyance, and they only last for 2-3 weeks. What makes quitting hard is the illusion that you miss out by not smoking. That multiplies your cravings in your head. Once you realize that smoking never gave you ANYTHING, you have no desire to go back.
Peace!
Pearl Cope im watching every vid possible to gain strength advice & i too having a heck of a time. best to you upon freedom of cigarettes..
Why aren't there free support groups like AA for smokers and for 90 days duration. We are left on our own and how many are successful, I would think not many. It's a narcotic addiction, we have to go through changes in our brains and physical habits. We should be able to talk about our failings concerning coping techniques.
There is, it's called NICA (nicotein anonymous) it's exactly like AA in that it uses the twelve steps and has support groups etc, the only difference is that the focus is nicotein instead of alcohol.
It's hard to stop completely but 1-2 at nite at set times is easily doable but obvs best not to smoke at all really easier said than done like
I'm a chainsmoker, but I'm not feeling this guy. He clearly hasn't smoked in his life. I want to hear someone who smoked like me, but managed to leave it behind
Shogan Flamemasta well said 👍
Free will. We choose what we do.
Levi T. Weak individual
Well that's me cured! Thanks Betty!
Let's look at alcohol cost per bottle and drink as a smoker i showed up to work more than the guys with the hangovers less accidents than the person on drugs , and more reliable than drinkers , and a better driver
and let's not for get the family child abuse
You sound like a child you showed up to work you want a metal your doing some much better
This unhealthy habit is just like the last unhealthy habit . Many of us try to kick . The difference between this one and the last is that you can do one in public . The similarities are the >>> $ 0's.
The mic recording this video used to smoke
How about cigarettes shouldn’t be made and if they are… they should be extremely hard to get. I shouldn’t be able to buy laundry detergent, eggs and cigarettes at the same place. I shouldn’t be able to get cigs at a convenience store. Let’s go deeper.
I'm in my late thirties and now start smoking pipe...after a lifetime of 'healthy' lifestyle. Why? I now have the disposable income to afford the little pleasures in life...and everybody dies.
I had relatives who are very wealthy, live a healthy energetic (exercise, gym, etc) and died early from a lingering painful death by cancer...pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer...in addition to meningitis, dengue fever...died either very young or at their prime...very ironic.
My point is we are not immortal. The sooner you accept that Death is coming for you, the better will you make this world a better place for all of us to live in while taking your time to enjoy its pleasures.
There are much more enjoyable pleasures then smoking...:)
i mean much better drugs then nicotine
I started smoking at 12.
I live in Azerbaijan, and the cost of a pack is at most $5, normally $1.5🤦🏽♀️
He means the cost of health services split among the packs sold . He not talking about the actual cost of a pack of cigarettes! Use your head!
This guy would make me want to have a cigarette
I understand where he is coming from.
If every smoker died from complications from smoking...think about that, they don't.
I started at the age of 32. I always do so in my personal washing room alone. Can't give up even at 43.
vanshita starting at 32 is mental
n136h agree with u totally friend. was actually going through a mental meltdown. turns out i have a disorder that sort of got out of hand. give me advice if u can.
vanshita, Read Allen Carr's "Easy way to stop smoking"
Chadfleanthony thank you so much. Will do
NRT is a waste of time. You just prolong the addiction
No sound
Welp. Usual arguments, nothing new here.
Still have to say I disagree with the prevention tactics - Try to make supply unattainable without curtailing demand? Yeah, that worked just great in the war on drugs, didn't it?
Also, why does no one ever stop to ask if you would do this to other companies? I can't see a clinical, white, non-advertised McDonald's, can you? Yet I'm pretty sure that obesity in America is one of their largest problems.
Why don't we start looking at *All* the reasons people start smoking, instead of just assuming that kids just do it because they think it makes them look cool, or through peer pressure? Like the link between smoking and mental health disorders - maybe people who have trouble with their brain chemicals find relief when they throw a little nicotine into the mix?
Finally, I'd just like to add as a personal note, that my grandmother died of lung cancer when I was about 10, and I didn't start smoking till I was 18. Why? I was getting stressed out over exams (and life in general) so I decided to give it a try, and you know what? Turns out I like the taste of tobacco - they can't give you that in a patch.
Don't 4get prohibition on alcohol.That worked out great for the revenuers! Smoking works out great 4 drs. And big pharma!!!
Well, he needs to work more on his conference act.
He is a doctor not an actor. Sadly
There is zero evidence that smoking kills you, only heightened 'possibilities'. I guarantee you, no death cert names cause of death as 'smoking'. Think about what supplements you might take to combat any 'possibilities'. Living in granite county in the UK is the so called second cause of lung cancer in the UK (Radon) and I would be more concerned about that in those areas. This is just a nice pharma back pocket deal to make money!
Phillip Morris, is that you?
All these taxes warning in india. So i buy chesper brands
Australian government has BANNED nicotine E oil so we're learning to make our own 😁
Cancer ward next.
You dont quit 3 or 33 times... you suspend or postpone 3 or 33 times. You quit once. This guy just sounds pssd off and irritated
I don't like publicity directed against a profession like the tobacco industrialist or grower without addressing themselves by telling us. If you disagree with what they do tell them, not us. Tell us if you disagree with what we do. So, how do you go about that? Do you tell each person that they must not smoke and tell them what to do instead? Are you telling others what to do? Beware, we have democracy! Plain packs? You don't know what you are talking about, plain packs violate our right to retain the fruits of our labour. Plain packs constitutes censorship of ideas and imagination. People who are enforcing plain packs onto those who created them should be ashamed of themselves and the same for anyone who supports state fascism. NO to state fascism, NO to smoking bans and NO to plain packs and uneven taxes!! And NO to fascist ideas like plain packs and smoking bans!
His statistics are proven nonsense. Over 90% of successful quitters do so cold turkey. Less than 10% of successful quitters manage it using NRT products like gum, patches, e-cigarettes etc.
Cold Turkey is a time and a statistically proven best way to quit. Experts with decades of smoking cessation experience will verify this. People like those who continue Allen Carr's message and Joel Spitzer etc..
Completely agree. Quitting using NRT products involves using willpower and doesn't change how you see smoking at all on a cognitive level. Quitting cold turkey is really the best way there is and has to involve changing your cognitive approach to cigarettes and what it gives you.
I'm a physician that's smoked for over a decade. Cold turkey was the only way that finally worked for me after reading Allen Carr's book. When I tried to cut down gradually, there was always that 'one last' cigarette that never was the last one.
great ideas, yet even with them implemented by the gov. it would still fall short. It's a gray area that has been created by the industry and promoted by our own "democratic" values, which imply that we are solely responsible for it all. Now, think about the billions of dollars the ciggaretes companies have invested and still are in adds, in research to manipulate young people, and even adults, especially ones in developping countries, yet it is our personal and individual responsability to fight against all of that ?! How much money has any gov. spent ever on resolving the effects of these kinds of "investments" ?
One word......Chantix
Tried it and failed ☹️😥
Yes!‼️💚🎗🎨🍌🏳️🌈🤗🙏🏻🔆🏁Cleanliness Healthy Helps Heaven!❗️
Cigarettes‼️💜
And NOT Cigarettes!❗️💛
It's not a good idea for us to make all of the treatments free. If a smoker can afford cigarettes, they can afford treatments while trying to stop. If they were serious about quitting, they would put their money towards the treatments. I also think it is important to not put cigarettes in the same category as cigars/pipe smoking. In moderation, the FDA has said pipes and cigars pose little to no risk (key word being moderation). When you refer to cigarette companies as "the tobacco industry", you are lumping every tobacco product into the same category. That will screw some amazing cigar/pipe tobacco companies. I enjoyed a cigar or a pipe here and there after I turned 18, and because of cigarettes and e-cigarettes, I got screwed with the age change to 21. I agree that cigarettes are addictive and kill people, but cigars/pipes do NOT. A talk like this needs to be more specific.
Just how bad is smoking? I think tobacco industry should just be banned. That's it
try being an nicotine addict and see how you alter your talk. well done on the wikipidia stats...
