I've just recently turned 40, and I have been smoking now for about 25 years. My doctor says that it's highly doubtful I will see 50 unless I do some massive Lifestyle Changes. More exercise, better diet, and of course I need to quit smoking. Starting that stupid habit was the worst decision of my life. If only one person reads this and decides not to, then I will like to think I have done something positive with my life.
good i started smoking 1 year ago and you didn’t die for 25 years so i guess i can hold for 20 years until i die I’ll be having fun these next 20 years
My grand mother stopped smoking after 45 years. Shes 70 now. Neber to late brother! I myself am a smoker. Sadly started when I was 16 and I'm 20 now... It s so hard to quit it....
I really hope that you have been able to maintain your desire to stop smoking cuz it's sending you positive vibrations and I hope things get better soon
Elizabeth Finegan don’t give up. I used chantex for a little while but it was causing upset stomach & some stomach discomfort. I’m still not smoking since January 2020. When I have urges I take deep breaths & take Nicolette lozenges. I found that those lozenges Splenda in it which is not healthy either. So have to stop using that.
My Husband and I both quit smoking Jan 9, 2023. It’s been over 2 months now. This is the longest time we both have gone not returning to the nasty habit! Super thankful for the love and support of our family. Time to get healthy and be around for our grandchildren 😊
Best decision I ever made for my health..been clean 10 years now. My advice to you is be mindful of things you were doing when you smoked so that you don't relapse easily. Smoking is a habit so it takes time to form new habit around your daily routine..anyway goodluck
I lost my mother from pancreas cancer this March. She used to be a heavy smoker. When i lost her i realised i had to make an important step in my life: life or death, cigarettes or a healthier life. This July, when my military service finished i stopped smoking. This is my second day without cigarette. Wish me luck.
I wasn't a heavy smoker but decided to quit, its been 2 months now and im feeling great. Will never go back to cigarettes. Good luck to everyone trying to quit.
I’ve not had a cigarette in 3 months and I’m pretty proud of myself, I know that’s not a long time but I’m proud of it because it’s a start, and for anyone else quitting smoking I wish you luck and you’ll be glad you quit.
I got my school bully addicted to smoking It is best thing I have done He now is a chain smoker with ruined lungs and has no ability to produce sperms His wife abandoned him and he has no job 😂😂😂
I quit 2 weeks ago, I started around 14 and got into it super heavy as I turned 16 (Imma be 17 in two weeks) I have honestly felt better like I know it’s only 2 weeks since I quit but it’s progress, I tried a few times and kept giving up after a few days or a week but I’m pushing myself this time and I have every bit of support I need to help me… I hope someone sees this comment and finds the inspiration to stop the nasty habit as well.
@@wehelashaq3368 Yes I am still clean and feeling very well, I had temptation for awhile but I learned to kick those cravings by distractions such as exercise and chewing gum.. I don’t even have those temptations anymore because I realized how much money I was really wasting on such a bad habit.
Man I’m trying soooo hard . But yet it’s sooooo hard . The Reason why am doing it now is because of the pandemic of the coronavirus and I need to need my lungs for survival and I need to be here for my daughter so wish me luck guys
Priscilla Ribeiro Same here I quit just over 3 weeks ago went cold turkey. Got smokers flu and felt awful! Now I have step throats and coughing up phlegm with blood. Smoked 15 years 20 a day. I will never go back. I took my health for granted. Best of luck to you quitting for ever.
Matt Costa Smokers flu makes you experience the flu you have sickness diarrhoea. I also had a high temperature! Genuinely felt very ill. Same wish I hadn't started but will never go back over a month smoke free.
so Priscilla, how's it going? I just decided to quit too. Btw I'm thinking about creating some sort of "AA" for smoke quitters on WhatsApp. We could help each other and share our progresses. Let me know if you're interested !
My former wife ask me to quit smoking when she was expecting our first child I was 23 and I stopped cold turkey that day haven't had tobacco since then my son just turned 46
Today is my 6th day without smoking! I am so incredibly happy and already feeling better! Congrats to everyone here who quitted and lots of good luck for the ones still trying! ❤️❤️❤️
@@davidlevesque5292 well, I’m feeling great now! The first few weeks were tough, but now I can stand by someone smoking a cigarette and not be triggered at all! Plus I feel my breathing so much better, no more coughing...
I love to see these strangers in the comment section just keep encouraging each others. I smoke a lot. But by reading all the comments i feel positive to quit smoking.
C'mon bro. U can do it. Its going to be impossibly hard at first but once you're use to it, you've basically made it. Well, i've never smoked in my entire life but i have the same issue as yours and it is an addiction as well
I smoked a pack or so a day for more than 20 years. I'm 41… and quit in April this year. Almost 5 months down and I can say that I've not felt this good in a long time, and I don't miss it at all. Getting to the point now, to where I don't even think about it anymore. Best of luck to all of us who decide to quit!
I’ve been smoking since I was 15. I am 28 years old now. Vaped for 5 years. Started with 500+ puffs a day to reducing it to 130 - 60 puffs a day (3months). Today marks 2 weeks of not taking a drag from anything. EDIT: Today is my birthday and I’m currently 29 tobacco free 💛💯💫😌 UPDATE: I am 30 and JAN 2024 will make 2 full years that I’ve been Tobacco free. No cigarettes, cigars, (herbs) vapes…absolutely smoke free. Hope this is motivation for some. If anyone needs help with words of encouragement please feel free to leave a comment and tell me about your journey, even if you are just thinking about quitting. I most definitely understand the hardships that come with being a smoker. 💫
Started at same age (15), quited at same age (28). It’s been a week. Cravings almost stopped, Im already experiencing a lot of changes, it made me think like how did I manage to live like 13 years. Definitely Im not going back to smoking again.
I'm 10 days in (I've had 6 cigarettes in those 10 days as opposed to a pack a day for 12 years) My body detox is crazy as heck.. the congestion in my ears is the most prominent road block right now but just feeling how much work my body is doing to heal itself is enough for me to keep off the smokes.
I quit cold turkey but it took repeated efforts . I am so glad I quit. I might not have made my 60s if I had continued. To all of you who are trying, do not give up. It is your life.
I started smoking when I was just 13.. I’m now 31 and have been smoke free for 10 days today. The cravings have been rough, especially in the mornings and after eating meals. Im also suffering the feeling of “loss”, like I am grieving for my smoker self and feel very sad and anxious thinking about never having a cigarette again. I can’t remember life before smoking. I know this will pass. I am determined to stay focused…
Hope you're still smoke free! I just recently quit and everytime I even smell a cigarette it makes me nauseous, after eating is definitely my biggest moment of weakness but I find that if I get myself distracted for 10-15 minutes it goes away. Good luck!
@@RobDaDon_ I am 6 weeks smokefree today! The thought of having a cigarette still enters my mind after eating but it’s not the physical craving anymore- I guess I kinda just miss the act and the satisfied feeling I had when smoking after meals. Congrats on giving up! It’s not easy but coming through the other side feels amazing
@@100rebeccaleanne That's awesome! Glad you're sticking with it and wish you all the best luck!! I'm a little over a month sober from alcohol so stopping smoking seemed like the next logical step and am so glad I did
I quit smoking 5 months ago, I promised my wife when she got pregnant that Ill quit. (I used to smoke half a pack a day since I was 18 years old - now I am 39) How I did it ?, I just threw the pack of cigarettes, and that was it. it wasn't easy though. it requires will power, the 1st week was so hard, and till now, when I see someone smoking, with coffee, or after lunch, I feel tempted to grab one, but I never do, and I will never do. Healthwise I feel more energetic, my mornings are way better, no smell, no coughing, still a little bit of Mucus sometimes. I gained up to 6Kg after quitting, so I bought a bicycle, to help get my weight back to normal, and I am avoiding carbs and sugar. Now I can go biking, up to 30 km in one trip. Wish me luck!
Update? I quit only 7 hrs ago I refuse to let it control me any longer than it already has, I'm only 22 and I've been smoking got 5 yrs already, I can't take deep breaths, I have hardly any taste buds I'm always sick and my chest just is filled with way too much fluid, my sister's have picked up the habit too and my brother begs me to stop so here I go into the unknown! I hope you're still on the right path my friend, keep it up!
@@purpleheartedkatelee7749 here is an update :), 1st I got my new baby girl, and I cant be more proud as a father of 3 (quitting smoking is an achievement, specially in my case, I have been smoking for 20+ years), 2nd I lost 11 kg, so far, still on no carbs, no sugar diet, 4 meals a day, and lots of vegetables and fruits, and still biking between 10km - 35km every 3 days. My craving for cigarettes, is wayyyyy less than it was before, I still crave it sometimes, but it is very rare, mainly when I drink alcohol, and thats it. the main difference I feel, is my mornings, and how energetic I am, no more coughs, and no more mucus (enjoy breathing ;). Just stay motivated and dont think about cigarettes, I know it is not easy, but nothing is impossible, YOU CAN DO IT, use lots of chewing gums, and some sugar free candies, they help a lot, and whenever you crave it, go do something that takes it away (like playing a game, driving around, eating something, or call someone you know to help you. Remember, 1 cigarette, might get you back to smoking, and destroy all the hardwork you put into quitting. Best of luck!!
I quit on 11/08/2014. I was a half a pack to a pack a day smoker for 5.5 years. It was my favorite thing to do and quitting was the hardest thing I ever did. It took me 4 years of just trying to quit before I was able to, but when I did it became one of my greatest accomplishments. If you're trying to quit I have a lot of advice for you but my biggest tip is to remember that the cravings will go away and it does get easier. Also don't beat yourself up if you fail and feel like you have lost all of your progress, this is not true. Attempting to quit and failing multiple times actually does make it easier to succeed because every day of not smoking is another day that you get in the habit of not doing it. Just take a deep breath and try again.
I decided to quit two days ago. And this morning was the first time in years I woke up from 8 hours of sleep the easiest it’s been since my early 20’s and I’m 35 now .
Good for you Bro me too ! Im on day 4 and Im becoming supersyan !! The benefits of quitting are amazing . I smoked for 20 years Im 36 so its been hard to quit but my time was up so I had to make the choice
I see you posted 10 days ago about quitting, how're you doing with it? I hope you stick with it, it's worth it. About 6 weeks for me. If you're still not smoking you should be noticing how smokers smell now. I'm amazed at how my sense of smell and taste have improved. Just hope I don't get too fat lol. But anyway, hope you're kicking it. Don't give up
31 years and counting. Probably the best thing I ever did for myself. The sad part is watching friends still smoking and compromising their health. The best thing that helped me quit was learning that the cravings go away after 2 years. It's a long time but at least it goes away. To be successful, try to learn to hate tobacco, it helps.
I listened to a quit smoking self hypnosis video on RUclips. In the video the narrator repeated "When I see someone smoking, I feel sorry for them". 🌟🌟👍🌟🌟🌟 That phrase really helped me quit!!
@@gazalaw4776 im feeling better than ever bro. I'm breathing a lot better and can exercise a lot longer. I'm happy to say I still haven't went back to it and don't plan to. If your thinking of quitting its is definitely worth it bro
I quit smoking 3 days ago, I have to admit it's pretty hard. Never thought I would continuously think about smoking, made a deal with myself that every time I reach out for a cigarette I have to do 5 pushups.. my body is sore but it is helping😁
I have been doing 25 pushups every time it's helped a lot....day 3 today,...trying to cut down...first day 5 cigs and yesterday 3...today I'm hoping none!!!
I quit in January after smoking for 50 years. Used Chantex which really helped me, it relax me & helped with urges. I had to stop after using it for a little over a month because the nausea & Madrid stomach pain got worse. I take deep breaths & try to do something to take my mind off it. I vow not to smoke against
You can it's just saying no to it again like you have done every day of the 51 days you can keep this up for your health money family an so many more reasons
I have never smoked a cigarette in my life but was around second hand smoke for years. I watched my dad die from COPD and cancer brought on by smoking. My thoughts and prayers go out to those trying to quit.
There has never been one study conducted that definitively proves that second hand smoke is harmful. It's part of the campaign of the rabid non-smokers who came up with this myth about second hand smoke. Just saying...
@@MindBodySoulOk Us too. There has never been a study done (among the very few studies) that shows ill effects from 2nd hand smoke. They're all inconclusive. It was a media campaign to say that it's harmful, that's all.
did you see the blue bunny yet? right before you pass that final stage of completion towards your sobriety; a blue bunny gives you a complimentary cigarette for completing it. man does that cigarette take all of the aches and pains away
I started smoking when I was 16…I quit 5 days after my 40th birthday. It’s been over 10 years now and my only wish is I had quit sooner. The chest infections part in the video is absolutely true. I used to get about two or three chest colds/infections a year…after I quit I never got another one again.
Guys I've failed. But I went from 1pack-7 sticks/day last year(Dec 2018), down to 5/day (Jan-Apr 2019) and now down to just three sticks a day (since April 3rd). Its very hard to go cold turkey abruptly but I'm quite happy I've lessened smoking significantly.
I smoked for 25 years . I had C. O . P. D. I quit and now its been 2 years with out a cigarette. I feel alot better . I'm happy I stoped and no longer have an urge to smoke. I know it's not easy but you can do it. Good luck and don't give up.
I’ve seen my Mom do it ever since I could remember. I’m 20 now, she’s still smoking, I’ll never give up on her. To everyone who’s quit or is thinking about it I just want to say congratulations & what you’re doing is absolutely amazing. I know it’s hard but YOU can do it. All love to you, I wish you nothing but the best going forward.
Now I'm on my Day 8 never felt better in last 8 9 years of my life Thank You God For this freedom 🤞 let's do it . I'll try to keep updating. Here for anyone who wants to Quit
I'm 72 years old, I smoked for many years, I thought that I'd never be able to quit. I was wrong, DR. ordered some Chantix and it made it easier. I was getting cravings but I'd say to myself,"self you can't let other people that are trying to help down". In two months it will be five years since I quit.
@@yudhveer99 Because I save a lot of money, I can smell better. Since I quit smoking if I get around someone that smokes I can smell them and it is disgusting. I think wow, I smelled like that?
@@MrSarge99 The fact that smoking hadn't visibly harmed you til that age doesn't mean you should've continued, but that you have the right genetics and not smoking will hopefully help you live 100 years! Good job!
I smoked just short of 2 packs a day for 48 years. Will be celebrating 6 months 100% cigarette free on August 22nd. Its been a long, lonely, rough journey but oh so worth it!!!!! Even if you don't succeed first time around.... never say never! Keep trying. You'll get there!! You are stronger than you give yourself credit for. It is a dreadful addiction but you CAN defeat it! Good luck!!
It's important to remember that you don't have to quit cold turkey. It took me several tries, but I finally found that the step down patches worked for me. I smoked for 30 years and was up to 2 packs a day. I quit smoking September 12, 2018 and I quit nicotine November 8, 2018. Five years later and I can't imagine ever going back. Few, heavy smokers quit on the first try. Keep trying until you find what works for you. One thing I know for certain is that you have to want to quit. Your will power will be tested daily for the first month or so. It's not easy, but it's worth it just to breathe easier.
The CineRanter If you still are struggling, try Allen Carrs book about quitting - it helped me and I have not smoked for almost 8 months AND I have NO desire to start again. The book has some points about health issues, but it is mostly about the psychological addiction, so it does not bash you over the head with possible heart attacks all the time. What is even better, you can keep smoking while reading it, but by the time you finish it, you wont want to continue smoking - at least, from my experience. However, if you are not into books, then there are his clinics all over the world, but the sessions are quite pricey when compared to the book.
I haven't smoked in 2 days. It's currently 2:33 am and I can't sleep. I've gotten maybe 4 hours of sleep in the last 2 days. But I'm going to stick to it to make sure I live a long time for my kids
Have you any words of advice iv smoked over 25yrs. I find it hard to breath and flem a lot. Also got bad cough. Iv try and try to stop but it's not working even when I know it the cause of my bad health
@@chantelleisherwood1528 try buying some nicotine patches and slowly decrease the level of nicotine. Another alternative is trying nicotine lounges, or vaping (as well as slowly decreasing the nicotine level over time) I’ve heard a lot of people used these to help quit smoking.
I haven’t smoked for 2 days. When I want to smoke I watch these types of videos. It kinda helps. Reading comments makes it easier. I only smoked 2 cigarettes a day and can’t believe how hard it is to even kick that habit.
@@jacoblindsay1593 It's going great! It's been 4 days now.. the first couple of days were the hardest. Kinda felt sick, coughing mucus for hours and leg cramps around the calves area. I don't feel like buying another pack, I used to crave a cig or two after every meal but now I brush my teeth instead. And I don't breathe as loud anymore. Yeah, I can do it!
@@kokom8405 happy for u mate best thing for u you'll be happy in the long run best of luck from me as I stopped myself couple year ago not to sure and after i never felt so fresh cigs are nothing but poison but well done I'm sure u can do it
Brandon Dolan I’m doing well, had a few cravings but nothing I couldn’t surpass. On top of being healthy for my Kids I also got a job that I couldn’t have before due to nicotine usage!
@@Sladeium that's great! I quite for a year and a half and then somehow got back into it unfortunately but plan to quit again literally now as we speak so if I can make it a year and a half then I can do it for the rest of my life. I'm only 21 also
"Quitting is hard". That is the lie we tell ourselves so we have an excuse to start again. Go cold turkey without vape, patches and gum and every time you get the urge to smoke pick up a pen and pretend it is a cigarette, do the whole draw, inhale and exhale thing with it and after three or four goes the craving will fade away. You essentially trick your mind into thinking it had a cigarette by going through all the familiar mechanical motions associated with smoking. Fifteen years free and loving my ability to walk up stairs without collapsing at the top.
Yeah but I also think those who say "quitting is easy" is just another way for someone to fail. Why not just present a realistic expectations of quitting smoking, tell people how it is going to be rather than getting their hopes up or hopes down. I am quitting smoking, it's has been three days and rn I have a craving for nicotine, the biggest difference now unlike the first time I tried to quit, is my mindset and having ways to distract myself, I don't think quitting is impossible but it's not super easy, but every day I am getting better.
Quiting is not easy. You are just being insulting when you say that. It's scientifically proven its not only difficult but a chemical need caused by nicotine. Try to be encouraging.
@@briandutler4466 Saying quitting is hard is literally giving an excuse to not even bother or go back to smoking. I smoked from age 11 until 38 and used the old "it's hard" excuse every time until I finally realized I was bullshitting myself and took the attitude that it is not hard.
I understand what your saying by not giving an excuse. But I smoked for 20 years and struggled to quit. Its been 5 years smoke free. But it always made me feel like something was wrong with Me and made me depressed when other people said its easy. Was not till later I realized they were lieing.
Quit September 2019 at 63 years old after maybe 45 years of smoking. It can be done. The key is for you to make that choice because there aren't any shortcuts. Best of luck to all.
My mother quit cold turkey when she was 65 she said she had smoked since she was 15 she's healthy independent and 92 years old I believe her quitting tobacco is a factor you did the right thing
@@shaikarif8828 It would be better? So lemme tell you this, if you got lung cancer from smoking, would you still smoke because "ah, I've already got cancer so I might as well." You should worship the guys who have overcome the struggles of getting rid of your habit, not encouraging them to continue killing themselves.
I'm 6'0 ft 306 lbs and I quit smoking almost a week ago. It's been 4 years since I've made the transition from military to civilian life and honestly I haven't worked out but a handful of times since. I married the love of my life almost 3 years ago and I finally made the decision to live healthy for her and our children.
@@willymaykit1482 many people in the military smoke, so most people start there and quiting is realy hard when al your collegs and friends are smoking there. In the military you have so many times you do nothing, so trust me it is so hard
He was probably being scarastic anyone that knows the truth about smoking will never do it. As for me I haven't smoke and I'm going to keep it that way
Im 17 been smoking since i was 14. I stopped smoking since yesterday havent touched one today and i plan to keep going for days,months,years on end. I wish you luck if your on a journey to stop like me. God bless
I really hope you stuck to this. Picking up my first cigarette was the worst mistake of my life. Second worse was not pulling out of a chick when I was 17 and having my first kid 9 months later 😒
Smoked since I was 13 quit when I got pregnant at 20 and started back after giving birth, just got pregnant again in January and quit again and hope to never pick it up again! I can do it! ❤️ anyone else can too!
@@sudarshan_p no lol i had older friends and then when I turned 16 I worked at a subway that was connected to a gas station where all my friends worked so they sold them to me.
I would like to say a Big Thank You for making this video & motivate us to quit smoking. I was a smoker for around 13 years & today I have completed a successful 1 year after giving up cigarettes just after watching this video. Feeling proud 😎
Your willpower is equally responsible to quit smoking. Thanks to my fiancee support i am glad to tell you guys its now 4 yrs i didn't touch the cigarette
Hi Everyone ~ I'm not proud of myself, but I've been smoking for 62 years! I have tried everything under the sun to quit. The longest I was able to quit was for 3 years! I don't know anymore what to do except pray! I am a Christian & this is appalling to me that my flesh appears to be weaker than my Faith! Have no clue what my problem is, but thank you for taking a precious moment out of your life to read about my dishonor to the Lord. By the way, for whatever it's worth, I am so very proud of each one of you for quitting this horrible addiction! It's not easy & for me, quite painful. Remain strong, for I truly believe you will be Blessed. 💜😊
after smoking for 3 yrs,I have to admit, quitting made me appreciate my physic more,I'm now addicted to the feeling of being full of energy n as a result eat healthier, exercise n run more to just to feel the energy surging! .p.s, Its been 3 months since my last cig, u can do it!
After over 40 years of smoking, I decided to quit two weeks ago, I find it extremely hard but have decided now to quit because my chest hurts.....wish me luck!!
Same reason ive decided to stop...pains and aches in my lungs....flem.....eberytime i wake up im heavily congested.....its time. I hope you are still going strong as this will be day 1 for me.
GuitarEkket86 I was in 3 pks a day for 10 years, went 3 months no cigs cause vapor, started back up half a pack a day, now it's been 5-6 days not even craving.
Wow.. last week made 28 years since I stopped smoking! I started smoking when I was 12 and I’m so grateful that I was able to kick that habit. It was a hard battle and I’m grateful to God that he helped me to prevail!
I know right, i guess it also depends on how much you’ve smoked and for how long. Not sure how they can just come up with a 15 year number without knowing how much damage each person has done to their body, an estimate i guess. Still feels like a long time though.

Elizabeth Finegan don’t give up. I used chantex for a little while but it was causing upset stomach & some stomach discomfort. I’m still not smoking since January 2020. When I have urges I take deep breaths & take Nicolette lozenges. I found that those lozenges Splenda in it which is not healthy either. So have to stop using that.
@@doloresgercar8788 You should start doing some physical exercise on a daily basis.

My Husband and I both quit smoking Jan 9, 2023. It’s been over 2 months now. This is the longest time we both have gone not returning to the nasty habit! Super thankful for the love and support of our family. Time to get healthy and be around for our grandchildren 😊
Keep up the good work 💪👍
If you want to leave smoking, start eating purple grapes. I don't know what it has but it used to instantly remove the craving when I used to eat it.
Best decision I ever made for my health..been clean 10 years now. My advice to you is be mindful of things you were doing when you smoked so that you don't relapse easily. Smoking is a habit so it takes time to form new habit around your daily routine..anyway goodluck
Goodluck its been 3 months
I lost my mother from pancreas cancer this March. She used to be a heavy smoker. When i lost her i realised i had to make an important step in my life: life or death, cigarettes or a healthier life. This July, when my military service finished i stopped smoking. This is my second day without cigarette. Wish me luck.
Smoked for 13 years. Now its been 26 days since I quit.
Update?
How you feeling now?
Did you cut down or cold turkey?
So your age is 39 now

I quit smoking 14 years ago. This is the best thing I have ever done in my life.
9 yeara and counting
Inspired
10 years clean
I got my school bully addicted to smoking
It is best thing I have done
He now is a chain smoker with ruined lungs and has no ability to produce sperms
His wife abandoned him and he has no job

Have you smoked since?

How is it going for you?
I did too. Two months. Hope you are getting better
All the best buddy.We are travelling in the same boat
I quit 2 weeks ago, I started around 14 and got into it super heavy as I turned 16 (Imma be 17 in two weeks) I have honestly felt better like I know it’s only 2 weeks since I quit but it’s progress, I tried a few times and kept giving up after a few days or a week but I’m pushing myself this time and I have every bit of support I need to help me… I hope someone sees this comment and finds the inspiration to stop the nasty habit as well.
How are feeling bro ?
Are you still clean?
@@wehelashaq3368 Yes I am still clean and feeling very well, I had temptation for awhile but I learned to kick those cravings by distractions such as exercise and chewing gum.. I don’t even have those temptations anymore because I realized how much money I was really wasting on such a bad habit.
How you doing?
Man I’m trying soooo hard . But yet it’s sooooo hard . The Reason why am doing it now is because of the pandemic of the coronavirus and I need to need my lungs for survival and I need to be here for my daughter so wish me luck guys
Priscilla Ribeiro Same here I quit just over 3 weeks ago went cold turkey. Got smokers flu and felt awful! Now I have step throats and coughing up phlegm with blood. Smoked 15 years 20 a day. I will never go back. I took my health for granted. Best of luck to you quitting for ever.
Matt Costa Smokers flu makes you experience the flu you have sickness diarrhoea. I also had a high temperature! Genuinely felt very ill. Same wish I hadn't started but will never go back over a month smoke free.

JDMsweetness how do you feel now ???
so Priscilla, how's it going? I just decided to quit too. Btw I'm thinking about creating some sort of "AA" for smoke quitters on WhatsApp. We could help each other and share our progresses. Let me know if you're interested !
6 weeks down and i fill so dam good. Never going back... praise Jesus...
Stay strong and keep it up!👍

I smoked a pack or so a day for more than 20 years. I'm 41… and quit in April this year. Almost 5 months down and I can say that I've not felt this good in a long time, and I don't miss it at all. Getting to the point now, to where I don't even think about it anymore. Best of luck to all of us who decide to quit!
Haven't had a cigarette since last night. Wish me luck!
Their still smoking
Did you stop smoking?
me too man! is insane
Just want to know how your doing
You still dident smoke?
I’ve been smoking since I was 15. I am 28 years old now. Vaped for 5 years. Started with 500+ puffs a day to reducing it to 130 - 60 puffs a day (3months). Today marks 2 weeks of not taking a drag from anything.
EDIT: Today is my birthday and I’m currently 29 tobacco free 💛💯💫😌
UPDATE: I am 30 and JAN 2024 will make 2 full years that I’ve been Tobacco free. No cigarettes, cigars, (herbs) vapes…absolutely smoke free. Hope this is motivation for some. If anyone needs help with words of encouragement please feel free to leave a comment and tell me about your journey, even if you are just thinking about quitting. I most definitely understand the hardships that come with being a smoker. 💫
Happy birthday friend! Congratulations on your milestone!

Congrats dude 🤗
I'm 10 days in (I've had 6 cigarettes in those 10 days as opposed to a pack a day for 12 years)
My body detox is crazy as heck.. the congestion in my ears is the most prominent road block right now but just feeling how much work my body is doing to heal itself is enough for me to keep off the smokes.
Absolutely you see how bad the congestion is for your ears nose and throat. Your sinuses lock up and when you quit, finally release everything.
How's it going?
Ve started and stopped many times, this time first day and feeling good 🎉

God bless
I started smoking when I was just 13.. I’m now 31 and have been smoke free for 10 days today. The cravings have been rough, especially in the mornings and after eating meals. Im also suffering the feeling of “loss”, like I am grieving for my smoker self and feel very sad and anxious thinking about never having a cigarette again. I can’t remember life before smoking. I know this will pass. I am determined to stay focused…
Hope you're still smoke free! I just recently quit and everytime I even smell a cigarette it makes me nauseous, after eating is definitely my biggest moment of weakness but I find that if I get myself distracted for 10-15 minutes it goes away. Good luck!
@@RobDaDon_ I am 6 weeks smokefree today! The thought of having a cigarette still enters my mind after eating but it’s not the physical craving anymore- I guess I kinda just miss the act and the satisfied feeling I had when smoking after meals.

@@100rebeccaleanne That's awesome! Glad you're sticking with it and wish you all the best luck!! I'm a little over a month sober from alcohol so stopping smoking seemed like the next logical step and am so glad I did
You got this 💪

Smoked for almost a decade ! This pandemic made me quit smoking and now im smoke free ! Its hard but its rewarding. Your body will love you for this.
I quit smoking 5 months ago, I promised my wife when she got pregnant that Ill quit. (I used to smoke half a pack a day since I was 18 years old - now I am 39)
How I did it ?, I just threw the pack of cigarettes, and that was it. it wasn't easy though. it requires will power, the 1st week was so hard, and till now, when I see someone smoking, with coffee, or after lunch, I feel tempted to grab one, but I never do, and I will never do.
Healthwise I feel more energetic, my mornings are way better, no smell, no coughing, still a little bit of Mucus sometimes. I gained up to 6Kg after quitting, so I bought a bicycle, to help get my weight back to normal, and I am avoiding carbs and sugar.
Now I can go biking, up to 30 km in one trip.
Wish me luck!
Update? I quit only 7 hrs ago I refuse to let it control me any longer than it already has, I'm only 22 and I've been smoking got 5 yrs already, I can't take deep breaths, I have hardly any taste buds I'm always sick and my chest just is filled with way too much fluid, my sister's have picked up the habit too and my brother begs me to stop so here I go into the unknown! I hope you're still on the right path my friend, keep it up!
Very glad to hear you’re doing well!
Awesome. Just stay focused. You got this.
@@purpleheartedkatelee7749 here is an update :), 1st I got my new baby girl, and I cant be more proud as a father of 3 (quitting smoking is an achievement, specially in my case, I have been smoking for 20+ years), 2nd I lost 11 kg, so far, still on no carbs, no sugar diet, 4 meals a day, and lots of vegetables and fruits, and still biking between 10km - 35km every 3 days. My craving for cigarettes, is wayyyyy less than it was before, I still crave it sometimes, but it is very rare, mainly when I drink alcohol, and thats it.
the main difference I feel, is my mornings, and how energetic I am, no more coughs, and no more mucus (enjoy breathing ;).
Just stay motivated and dont think about cigarettes, I know it is not easy, but nothing is impossible, YOU CAN DO IT, use lots of chewing gums, and some sugar free candies, they help a lot, and whenever you crave it, go do something that takes it away (like playing a game, driving around, eating something, or call someone you know to help you.
Remember, 1 cigarette, might get you back to smoking, and destroy all the hardwork you put into quitting.
Best of luck!!
Hope your ok

@@moseskollipara8377 you do realize you are killing yourself right?
i thought the same thing 😪
Yeah! Please do not.
I quit on 11/08/2014. I was a half a pack to a pack a day smoker for 5.5 years. It was my favorite thing to do and quitting was the hardest thing I ever did. It took me 4 years of just trying to quit before I was able to, but when I did it became one of my greatest accomplishments. If you're trying to quit I have a lot of advice for you but my biggest tip is to remember that the cravings will go away and it does get easier. Also don't beat yourself up if you fail and feel like you have lost all of your progress, this is not true. Attempting to quit and failing multiple times actually does make it easier to succeed because every day of not smoking is another day that you get in the habit of not doing it. Just take a deep breath and try again.
I quit 8 years 6 months and 29 days ago and have not been back, not even for 1 puff. Best decision ever.
Nice, keep up the good work!!

I see you posted 10 days ago about quitting, how're you doing with it? I hope you stick with it, it's worth it. About 6 weeks for me. If you're still not smoking you should be noticing how smokers smell now. I'm amazed at how my sense of smell and taste have improved. Just hope I don't get too fat lol. But anyway, hope you're kicking it. Don't give up

31 years and counting. Probably the best thing I ever did for myself. The sad part is watching friends still smoking and compromising their health. The best thing that helped me quit was learning that the cravings go away after 2 years. It's a long time but at least it goes away. To be successful, try to learn to hate tobacco, it helps.
D Beaulieu I agree, cig are like a chain attach to you.
@@doloresgercar8788 The word I hate the most regarding smoking is "habit". A habit is how you comb your hair, smoking is an addiction.
1 month is enough for me. After that it’s just psychological as your mind remembers feeling good after a smoke. All about consistency
I listened to a quit smoking self hypnosis video on RUclips. In the video the narrator repeated "When I see someone smoking, I feel sorry for them".
🌟🌟👍🌟🌟🌟
That phrase really helped me quit!!
Cravings go away after 21 days not 2 years..

I’m so sorry for your loss and what you went through.
There has never been one study conducted that definitively proves that second hand smoke is harmful. It's part of the campaign of the rabid non-smokers who came up with this myth about second hand smoke. Just saying...
We all were around second hand smoke as kids and it has had no effect on any of my siblings nor cousins or friends.
@@MindBodySoulOk Us too. There has never been a study done (among the very few studies) that shows ill effects from 2nd hand smoke. They're all inconclusive. It was a media campaign to say that it's harmful, that's all.

Never heard of that. Sounds like that is a serious issue & you might want to see a doctor.
did you see the blue bunny yet? right before you pass that final stage of completion towards your sobriety; a blue bunny gives you a complimentary cigarette for completing it. man does that cigarette take all of the aches and pains away

It's important to remember that you don't have to quit cold turkey. It took me several tries, but I finally found that the step down patches worked for me. I smoked for 30 years and was up to 2 packs a day. I quit smoking September 12, 2018 and I quit nicotine November 8, 2018. Five years later and I can't imagine ever going back.
Few, heavy smokers quit on the first try. Keep trying until you find what works for you. One thing I know for certain is that you have to want to quit. Your will power will be tested daily for the first month or so. It's not easy, but it's worth it just to breathe easier.
Whenever i get cravings i just watch this again to keep me motivated
How is it going

If you still are struggling, try Allen Carrs book about quitting - it helped me and I have not smoked for almost 8 months AND I have NO desire to start again.
The book has some points about health issues, but it is mostly about the psychological addiction, so it does not bash you over the head with possible heart attacks all the time. What is even better, you can keep smoking while reading it, but by the time you finish it, you wont want to continue smoking - at least, from my experience. However, if you are not into books, then there are his clinics all over the world, but the sessions are quite pricey when compared to the book.

I haven’t smoked for 2 days. When I want to smoke I watch these types of videos. It kinda helps. Reading comments makes it easier. I only smoked 2 cigarettes a day and can’t believe how hard it is to even kick that habit.
Had my last cigarette yesterday, 17th May 2019.
Goals:-
1 month: (X) Kinda hard
2 months: (X) Easy
3 months:
1 year:
Wish me luck!
How's it going
@@jacoblindsay1593 It's going great! It's been 4 days now.. the first couple of days were the hardest. Kinda felt sick, coughing mucus for hours and leg cramps around the calves area. I don't feel like buying another pack, I used to crave a cig or two after every meal but now I brush my teeth instead. And I don't breathe as loud anymore. Yeah, I can do it!
@@kokom8405 happy for u mate best thing for u you'll be happy in the long run best of luck from me as I stopped myself couple year ago not to sure and after i never felt so fresh cigs are nothing but poison but well done I'm sure u can do it
@@jacoblindsay1593 Thanks buddy! Your appreciation motivates me.
Hang in brother today is 32 days for me gets easier
First day today of quitting!! Going pretty smooth
Keep it up👍
What in 2months? Did u quit??
What in 2months? Did u quit??
You're still quitting?
@Gribble Dribble you're the one person I see in the comments who encourages people who are quitting or unsure to try it...why?
Had my last cigarette earlier tonight, gotta end this so I can be with my kids when I’m older.
Will update
How are you getting on?
Brandon Dolan I’m doing well, had a few cravings but nothing I couldn’t surpass.
On top of being healthy for my
Kids I also got a job that I couldn’t have before due to nicotine usage!
@@Sladeium that's great! I quite for a year and a half and then somehow got back into it unfortunately but plan to quit again literally now as we speak so if I can make it a year and a half then I can do it for the rest of my life. I'm only 21 also
My dad occasionally smokes and I'm trying to get him to stop. He said he would quit when he hit 50. Yet he still smokes occasionally what should I do?
@jack mccall OK thanks I'll try that! I'll tell you in 1 month
Wooo! Watched this back in late April when I quit cold turkey an still smoke free! So happy I quit.
"Quitting is hard". That is the lie we tell ourselves so we have an excuse to start again.
Go cold turkey without vape, patches and gum and every time you get the urge to smoke pick up a pen and pretend it is a cigarette, do the whole draw, inhale and exhale thing with it and after three or four goes the craving will fade away. You essentially trick your mind into thinking it had a cigarette by going through all the familiar mechanical motions associated with smoking.
Fifteen years free and loving my ability to walk up stairs without collapsing at the top.
True. With Nicotine, there is nothing like reducing. You just need to cut the flow at once.
Yeah but I also think those who say "quitting is easy" is just another way for someone to fail. Why not just present a realistic expectations of quitting smoking, tell people how it is going to be rather than getting their hopes up or hopes down.
I am quitting smoking, it's has been three days and rn I have a craving for nicotine, the biggest difference now unlike the first time I tried to quit, is my mindset and having ways to distract myself, I don't think quitting is impossible but it's not super easy, but every day I am getting better.
Quiting is not easy. You are just being insulting when you say that. It's scientifically proven its not only difficult but a chemical need caused by nicotine. Try to be encouraging.
@@briandutler4466 Saying quitting is hard is literally giving an excuse to not even bother or go back to smoking. I smoked from age 11 until 38 and used the old "it's hard" excuse every time until I finally realized I was bullshitting myself and took the attitude that it is not hard.
I understand what your saying by not giving an excuse. But I smoked for 20 years and struggled to quit. Its been 5 years smoke free. But it always made me feel like something was wrong with Me and made me depressed when other people said its easy. Was not till later I realized they were lieing.
Quit September 2019 at 63 years old after maybe 45 years of smoking. It can be done. The key is for you to make that choice because there aren't any shortcuts. Best of luck to all.
Lol, u have smoken whole life.......why quit?.....Enjoy man.....It would be better, u left at young age.....Now at the end, nothing u get by quitting
My mother quit cold turkey when she was 65 she said she had smoked since she was 15 she's healthy independent and 92 years old I believe her quitting tobacco is a factor you did the right thing
@@shaikarif8828 It would be better? So lemme tell you this, if you got lung cancer from smoking, would you still smoke because "ah, I've already got cancer so I might as well." You should worship the guys who have overcome the struggles of getting rid of your habit, not encouraging them to continue killing themselves.
@@shaikarif8828 u an idiot.
I quit smoking 6 months ago and i smoked for 10 years.
me too i smoked for 10 years and i quit 5 month and 10 days ago

@@tharris7547 lol

joshua obligar
Still clean?
@@hi-yy7zg yeah
joshua obligar
Cool! Maybe I’ll ask you in a month again. Don’t let me down☺️
Me too..hope never again
How do you feel right now?
I'm 6'0 ft 306 lbs and I quit smoking almost a week ago. It's been 4 years since I've made the transition from military to civilian life and honestly I haven't worked out but a handful of times since. I married the love of my life almost 3 years ago and I finally made the decision to live healthy for her and our children.
Wtf does being tall, fat and a military wimp have to do with smoking ?
@@willymaykit1482 many people in the military smoke, so most people start there and quiting is realy hard when al your collegs and friends are smoking there. In the military you have so many times you do nothing, so trust me it is so hard
@@Cris-iy3of I have zero respect for the military so they can all smoke themselves to death.
@@willymaykit1482 beceause you don’t have respect doesn’t mean they need to smoke to death 🤷♂️
@@Cris-iy3of Respect who ? Military ? Not a chance. Smoke till you croak.
I’ve stopped smoking 13 years, 3 months and 1 day ago.
I’m quitting right now. Please wish me luck, I have 4 kids who need me to do this! One last smoke and hopefully I come back in a year smoke free
Now because of this video I want to start smoking so I can quit
Fraideris! Quitting is not as easy as it sounds, it’s better to not smoke
Galactic Pickle Depends of the person,for example I smoked and stopped 3 months ago very easily
He was probably being scarastic anyone that knows the truth about smoking will never do it. As for me I haven't smoke and I'm going to keep it that way
Smoke a pack a day and it’s hard to imagine not smoking
Fraideris! 😂 wth
I've been smoking for 10 years. Then I got pregnant. It's been 2 months now. Yey. 💚
Hope you stayed true to quitting. Congratulations on your little one too.
Im 17 been smoking since i was 14. I stopped smoking since yesterday havent touched one today and i plan to keep going for days,months,years on end. I wish you luck if your on a journey to stop like me. God bless
Congrats for taking the first step. Continue and stay strong👊
3 months down the line, did you quit?
Keep us posted!
I really hope you stuck to this. Picking up my first cigarette was the worst mistake of my life. Second worse was not pulling out of a chick when I was 17 and having my first kid 9 months later 😒
YourFutureExHusband 22 I feel that second part. I love my daughter, but it was too early and with the wrong woman 🤦🏻♂️
Don’t listen to the mind. The body will thank you later. The thinking mind is a trouble maker.
Smoked since I was 13 quit when I got pregnant at 20 and started back after giving birth, just got pregnant again in January and quit again and hope to never pick it up again! I can do it! ❤️ anyone else can too!
Im 15 and I just decided to quit I think it's nice to have people to modavate you to quit so you can do it
@@sudarshan_p no lol i had older friends and then when I turned 16 I worked at a subway that was connected to a gas station where all my friends worked so they sold them to me.
I would like to say a Big Thank You for making this video & motivate us to quit smoking. I was a smoker for around 13 years & today I have completed a successful 1 year after giving up cigarettes just after watching this video. Feeling proud 😎
Your willpower is equally responsible to quit smoking.
Thanks to my fiancee support i am glad to tell you guys its now 4 yrs i didn't touch the cigarette
Badhe gujarati madi rahese
Can’t wait to have a full year smoke free.. 22 days now.
I quit 5 years ago......best decision I have ever made.
Easiest way to quit is to never begin to smoke in the first place.
Quit 2 weeks ago and still going strong💪🏼 anyone who’s quitting, YOU CAN DO IT!!
Yo ✊
Pure truth. I smoked for 30 years, quit 14 years ago with the patches. They worked great for me.
Hi Everyone ~ I'm not proud of myself, but I've been smoking for 62 years! I have tried everything under the sun to quit. The longest I was able to quit was for 3 years! I don't know anymore what to do except pray! I am a Christian & this is appalling to me that my flesh appears to be weaker than my Faith! Have no clue what my problem is, but thank you for taking a precious moment out of your life to read about my dishonor to the Lord.
By the way, for whatever it's worth, I am so very proud of each one of you for quitting this horrible addiction! It's not easy & for me, quite painful. Remain strong, for I truly believe you will be Blessed. 💜😊
You are blessed for telling your testimony. God bless you.
after smoking for 3 yrs,I have to admit, quitting made me appreciate my physic more,I'm now addicted to the feeling of being full of energy n as a result eat healthier, exercise n run more to just to feel the energy surging! .p.s, Its been 3 months since my last cig, u can do it!
After over 40 years of smoking, I decided to quit two weeks ago, I find it extremely hard but have decided now to quit because my chest hurts.....wish me luck!!
Me too goodluck also my left arm hurts
Same reason ive decided to stop...pains and aches in my lungs....flem.....eberytime i wake up im heavily congested.....its time. I hope you are still going strong as this will be day 1 for me.
Rip
I quit 2 months ago, after smoking for 10 years up to 2 packs a day. Feels great to not smoke :)
GuitarEkket86 good for you 👍 no need to torture yourself like that.
Ana Carolina So true :)
Think of all the money your saving and the health your getting back👍🏻
GuitarEkket86 I was in 3 pks a day for 10 years, went 3 months no cigs cause vapor, started back up half a pack a day, now it's been 5-6 days not even craving.
Wow.. last week made 28 years since I stopped smoking! I started smoking when I was 12 and I’m so grateful that I was able to kick that habit. It was a hard battle and I’m grateful to God that he helped me to prevail!
15 years.................... fml, I quite 6 months ago. That is like the most unmotivating thing to know that the effects last 15 years after quitting
Well even after 6 month your body has healed itself a lot
What does fml mean?
Just smoke.
I know right, i guess it also depends on how much you’ve smoked and for how long. Not sure how they can just come up with a 15 year number without knowing how much damage each person has done to their body, an estimate i guess. Still feels like a long time though.
Wtf I found you on a video like this lol
