These ads helped me quit over a year ago, and every time I feel the need of a smoke, even the slightest, I come and watch them again. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!!!!
It is very very sad to see people smoking and losing their body parts, a hole in someone's neck. And it breaks my heart to see people smoking. PLEASE DON'T SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your personal story with us about the challenges of living with Buerger's Disease. This campaign was developed to encourage smokers to quit, as well as to educate all Americans about the many adverse health consequences of smoking. Buerger's Disease is one of less known negative health outcomes from smoking and makes maintaining one’s quality of life more challenging. We are encouraged that you are doing well and continue to stay active.
Wishing you both the best and yes quitting is the best thing you can do I too have Buergers and have quit smoking now for 2 years those cigarettes aren't even worth it they don't do anything for you anyway I hope you quit
I understand how hard it is to quit I was diagnosed in 2015 and I still chose to smoke smh even after everything they told me thankfully I have stopped smoking for over 2 years now cigarettes should be illegal
Seriously why are cigarettes still being sold? I think we should make a petition or something to outlaw it. Even then there'd be illegal manufacturers. :( soo frustrating
Thousands of people are afflicted with Buerger’s disease, and almost all of them used tobacco. The blood vessels of the hands and feet are especially affected in people who have Buerger’s disease. Although Buerger’s disease affects only about 10 adults per 100,000-mostly tobacco users aged 20 to 40-it’s a disease all tobacco users should be aware of.

My mom smokes and I want to tell her to quit. She said she quit a long time ago, but I still see packs hidden. What should I do? I don't wanna lose my mom :(
Take your mom to www.whyquit.com Joel Spitzer's videos are very helpful. There are also free nicotine anonymous meetings that occur several times every day via conference call. She would be more than welcome to come. Nicotine Anonymous also has a Facebook page she could join. It's also good for you, as someone who wants to help her quit, to be aware of the facts and helpful information to help her along the way. Good for you, and good luck to your mom.
jjraidz [pramo] I guess showing these clips to them is like bullying them but it’s not! I know it’s hard but it’s their own good. Seriously who wants to lose a leg like the guy above?
Banning tobacco products would be an issue for Congress, not a federal agency. CDC works to educate the public on how to prevent disease and lead longer, healthier lives. This campaign encourages smokers to quit by raising awareness of the human suffering caused by smoking and providing access to resources to help smokers quit.
Light drinking actually has benefits, Fast food is food and should be eaten as a treat, Automobiles is a form of transportation made so you can get around easier, Guns are legal because the forefathers couldnt forsee how devastating it would be in the long run and made it a right, Rock climbing is something we have been doing since the dawn of man, and Moto GP is a sport. Non of these things compare to a substance meant for only one thing: To cause diseases to humans. Tobaccos a nightshade plant
OK, smoking is horrible for you. That being said this man was genetically predisposed to buergers disease. It's a type of peripheral arterial disease. This guy has serious problem with his circulatory system. I'm not justifying smoking, but there are other factors at work. Also if you read his website. He continued to smoke for quite sometime while going through all of these amputations. Buergers isn't a common disease. It's very rare. 8-10 patients per 100,000. It's also more common with people of Asian and Indian decent. Which again hints to this being a genetic anomaly. So it wasn't just the smoking which caused this man's health problems. I'm sure it contributed greatly, but it was also his genetic combined with tobacco use. Again, I'm not condoning smoking. I'm just bringing to light the other factors at work here. FAR more Americans die in alcohol related car crashes per year than Buergers disease.
Jesus, they never had an Intervention for smokers. They really, really should have. These people need help just as much as alcoholics and drug addicts, but there seems to be less help, other than patches and gum, which is a start.
Does anyone know if the actress with the baby in the incubator is Dakota Johnson? I was watching "How to be Single" the other day, and it looks like her, even down to the shape of her mouth. Thanks.
Since secondhand smoke worsens the conditions of people already suffering from Buerger's Disease, it should be the case that secondhand smoke increases the risk of getting this disease even for those who don't smoke. Am I endangered if I am simply near someone who's smoking? And since tobacco leads to this problem, so could certain pollutants in our air. These ads do a great job of warning us, but I needed a matchstick and got a flamethrower instead.
The effect on the economy would be devastating and a black market would immediately pop up. Besides, who cares? Everyone nowadays knows the risks, and they choose to light up that first cigarette. They smoke knowing the risks. It's not impossible to quit either, by any stretch of the imagination. My grandfather, who smoked a pack of a day for several decades, quit cold turkey when his doctor told him he was in serious danger. He just put his carton down, and never smoked another cigarette.
Buerger's is awful, i have been affected by it with two leg bypasses and came close to losing limbs. Unlike Brandon, i was lucky. I was a scholarship collegiate crosscountry/track runner and have been fortunate enough to continue my running. Some of it is genetic but if something doesnt happen early it will eventually happen later with emphysema in your 50's or 60's or lung cancer. It maybe the worst thing you could start up other than crack or heroin....

I saw this guy on a documentary about smoking but at the time of that documentary, he had one leg.

Confront her and put the pack under water and then in the trash
14 smokers disliked the video... They need to quit soon... before its too late :(

Great job CDC, information is power! Let's educate the public on how they can have healthier lives by not allowing addiction to take over.
Mr. I relate to what you have gone through.
That’s not good I don’t want to smoke on my age I’ll quit do you guys agree
I know this is a sad video but can we all just appreciate that if you turn on captions at the end it says *man descending staircase*
Imagine how good weed would be for the economy if we made cigs illegal instead
Lexi. Smoking is bad no matter what it is breathing in the smoke is still harmful
I’m sorry for you

Beurger's Disease is very serious! Both of Brandon's legs were amputated due to his overwhelming smoking addiction. Do your best to quit smoking now.
How did he quit? I want to quit really bad.
+Caitlyn Brammer I feel bad for you. I'm 14 and I never smoke 1 cigerrate in my lifetime. And I will never smoke unless if its weed.

He was still smoking that's why he was still losing all his limbs , once he quit the amputations stoped, there are polenty of stories like this.
Why is alcohol still legal? Fast food? Automobiles? Guns? Rock climbing? Moto GP?
Jesus, they never had an Intervention for smokers. They really, really should have. These people need help just as much as alcoholics and drug addicts, but there seems to be less help, other than patches and gum, which is a start.
Smokers are drug addicts. I should know, I smoked for 40 years and finally quit.....nicotine is a drug, is addictive, and will kill you....
This is insane.
Does anyone know if the actress with the baby in the incubator is Dakota Johnson? I was watching "How to be Single" the other day, and it looks like her, even down to the shape of her mouth. Thanks.
The woman who had the premature baby is not an actress. She is from Wisconsin, and her name is Amanda.

Does Brandon still smoke?

theyre good for our economy
I vape instead.
What a waste
I agree with CollinNorthWest, not smoking should be a choice not a law. Some people smoke responsibly. Not me, that's why I had to quit.
There is no such thing as 'smoking responsibly!' Every cigarette is doing damage to the body!
Sad and gross.

That's tasty
