I was addicted to heroin and fetynol for 8 years and i was addicted to cigarettes for 21 years. Quitting smoking was so much harder. I was a bad addict. It took medication for both. I used methadone for the opiates amd nicotine patches for the cigarettes. It was the only way i could get any meaningful time away from using innorder to even stert seeing any positives from not. Cold turkey aimt for everyone and harm reduction can work. Be compassionate with yourself when need be. Someday you'll just be living your life life and it will dawn on you that you don't smoke anymore and you dont think about it anymore.
I just watched a different video.. I liked her advice..she said it helped her to change the terms she was using. Example..instead of using the terms "Stop smoking" or "Quiting smoking" which leaves you with a sense of loss..try using a term like "I'm escaping smoking." I liked this approach. Ive been watching as many videos as I can and "Gleaning" the things that seem the best for me. Yes its a battle...."but if at first you dont succeed, try, try again." Good luck to all, you are not dealing with this alone..others are dealing with it too.
Banda, I have to tell that I'm done smoking weed, it is hurting my memory so bad, I really need to quit and yes, Indeed, I think I can't, my friends also makes me feel a little bit pushed to smoke wherever we are. And I tell once to my family but I think they won't help me. Leftbehinded. But I have a Spark that will lead me to the success of being a healthy person, I will overcome this addiction for God sake
Classy people. There is tons of compassion emanating from these people. Thank you so much. Elegant and lovely, but so easy to watch and easy to understand. Thank you so much! Very informative and helpful.
Already 3 months cigarettes free I have used electric cigarette for quitting 1st week 18 mg nicotine capsules 2nd week 12 mg nicotine capsules 3rd week 9 mg 4th week 2.5 mg nicotine capsules mixing with 0 mg nicotine capsules week 5 only 0 mg nicotine capsules I have even stopped electric cigarette I think this is the best way for quitting Because I have smoked for 16 years and tried many times to quit but never made it more than 2 days But now I am feeling great better than what I have expected.
Congrats. Ive just quit, im having a cold and I figured this time i'll make something good out of something bad. 4 days smoke free now and im getting my Vape Pod soon. Im gonna use it IF I start to crave bad.. ive been smoking for 8-10 years and I dont want it. For health and economic reasons 💀🤑

Thank you SO much for this video. I have had so much guilt for smoking. I dont smoke anymore, but still using a vape. Knowing that the nicotine itself wont hurt me...is a huge relief...and believe it or not, that guilt being lifted off of me is giving me hope that I can now quit. Feeling constant condemnation has not helped the problem. Thanks again. I just had a lung x-ray and believe it or not...my lungs look good. I smoked for 48 yrs. My Mom, smoked all through her pregnancy during the 60's and maybe that is the " womb connection" maybe when I smoke, ot makes me feel close to my Mom? Or the womb. Hmmmm interesting realization I just had. My Mom was not very huggy either. Sorry for the novel.
My mother smoked when she was pregnant with me and i was most likely born addicted to nicotine. Then during my childhood both parents smoked in the house and in the car with the windows up and my addiction continued. I began smoking when i was 13 and quit when i was 16 for 11 yrs. Went through a divorce at 28 and started smoking again for 5 yrs...quit again for another 9 and went through my 2nd divorce and started again! Smoked for another 25 yrs and am now on my 5th day of not smoking...using patches. I want this to be my last time quitting!!! I guess i need to stay single...since divorces seem to be my trigger...lol!
It's nicotine u should be scared about man... I never smoke and still terribly addicted to nicotine. As long as u keep getting nicotine, it's as difficult to quit....
To the public I smoked for 65 years I give up smoking through using vaping equipment I enjoy the flavours and I think that anyone that smokes it wishes to give it up should take up vaping it help me I Quit when I turn 68 and now I've stopped for 4 months thank you
Are you still vaping ? I am 58 and have been smoking for over 40 years. I smoke about 30 a day and desperately want to quit. I have just failed after another cold turkey attempt. I am thinking about vaping for a bit before trying again to quit entirely. I know vaping isn't as harmful to the lungs.
@@moonlitdesert I am coming to that conclusion myself. I don't ever envisage myself being a non-smoker. I have reduced my smoking to less than 20 /day without any difficulty, and will carry on cutting down until I reach about 10 /day. I am pretty sure I will reach that goal without any great sense of loss. And I will enjoy my smoking far more without that sense of deprivation people feel when they quit totally.

So you basically traded one bad habit for another? Vaping is addictive as well. Makes me think of trading liquor for wine and telling people I stopped drinking 🤣
@@peterc9153 With your mind set, you can count on never being a non smoker..If you can cut to 10 a day can you not cut down to none a day?

I successfully quit cigarettes smoking vapes, then I found out they destroyed me almost as bad. Messed my trachea up pretty bad. Made my breathing so much worse
i'm in my 4th day and i feel like my cells thanking me and yelling at me at the same time. I feel as there is another person within me dying to go to the shop and asking for a pack. The simple buying of cigarettes is so appealing to me it hurts. I envision all the steps necessary for the purchasing of a pack of cigarettes. The idea of buying and coming back home to have a smoke (or 5) with coffee seems incredibly attractive. The idea of having smoke in my mouth and going into my lungs seems like "A BREATH OF FRESH AIR". Now THAT'S sabotage... On the other hand, i know that after the first puff the level of disappointment would go through the roof, there won't be any fresh air but clogged arteries and risk of cancer. There won't be any peace but anxiety. There won't be joy but sadness and a constant reminder of weakness and subjugation. Seeing my beautiful supportive wife, which understands me even if i relapsed 100 times is even more saddening. Waking up coughing like mad and spitting brown goo that could be used as glue isn't a pretty sight at all. The past weekend i stopped and it was such a peculiar weekend that felt to me like a completely different world. I've stopped before for more than 4 days (i think i went 3 weeks or so) but it was never like this. This weekend i did basically nothing but watch movies with my wife. It was like i was drugged, i felt so happy to just stay near my wife and talk about what we were looking at. Just wanted to share. My body and my brain are dumb. They crave this poison like mad and i feel that this time it's different. To everyone going remotely through this, i wish you fortitude of mind, reason, logic and power! Luck won't help you.
Biggest mistake I ever made, was to quit smoking. I got fat. I gained 140 pounds. I struggled with diets and exercise but I could not stop the weight from coming on. I went from a slim 135 all the way up to a pot belly 275. That's right, I almost made it to 300. My waist went from a 32 to a 50. I got kicked out of the navy for being obese and I lost my retirement. I developed severe sleep apnea and I'm a borderline diabetic. I had to give 5 trash bags stuffed full of my favorite clothes to charity. I had to give up running, water skiing, riding my bike and scuba diving because I got too fat. Had I known I was going to get fat like this, you best believe, I would have never quit smoking. And to top it off, it was a very tough thing for me to do
I'm on my 5th day this is really hard for me been smoking 50 years reading the comment on here helps take my mind off of cigarettes, I'm taking this one day at a time 😮
I have mental health issues and I'm on day 2 of quiting still smoking weed pure as it's not as harmful as tobbaco and it helps me with my mental health were tobbaco dose not it makes me depressed
Might not be a great with the weed in the long run especially with preexisting mental health issues. It's linked to psychosis things like that. People who like weed like to downplay these things. Best of luck
I've been at this now going on 55 years. I had stopped completely for about 6 months, but temptation is always looming in the background. I have been a smoker now for close to 55 years and it's not getting any easier. The problem is old movies and everyone smoking in the movies. I'm down to about 2 cigarettes a day, but the movies are always telling me one more won't kill me. I have come to the conclusion that I AM going to die and no amount of not smoking is going to change that. I'd kind of like to be able to dictate the time I'm going to die, but that smacks of the notion of suicide. I've been the caregiver of three different elderly non-smokers who all died and lived pretty miserable lives beyond 65.. I'm thinking that if I make it to 70 or so I'll have done pretty darn good.
Wow! It's got a pretty good hold on you. Do you have children and grandchildren? I quit a measly 10 days ago I've tried quitting about 5 times before this is my 6th attempt and I'm thinking it will be my last. Dying isn't the issue, the suffering before the death is the problem.
Yeah that’s one of the most common lies we tell ourselves (we want to smoke) from our addiction devil. lol Hoping this video motivates me more! Lie 1- “I want/need a cigarette” Lie 2- “1 more won’t hurt” Lie 3- “nicotine helps me calm down” Lie 4- “Quitting smoking is hard” Lie 5- “I can’t quit smoking” Lie 6- “I enjoy smoking” 😅 learned how much we lie to ourselves when I read Allen Carrs book- I quit for 6 weeks after reading his book. My husband smokes too and he hadn’t quit, I like to blame him for my relapse 😂 but I know it ain’t his fault 😅
@@emilysloan492 I have my 0.1mg liquid. A drop in the coffee is so satisfying. I wake up in the morning with the bottle clenched in my hand and have a drop after breakfast.😜 I bought the Alan Carr book but it didnt work for me. my brother read it but he became even more of an idiot. I decided i didnt want to stop like that wishing for a smoke and trying to brainwash myself it was not true. Taking it out on other people. I did watch some hypnosis videos but I think this liquid is really helping even tho it is mostly water or maybe coz it is mostly water. i don't know it practically still gives dry mouth and stuff but with some mint juice not so much. i think the 0.1 is definitely better than 0.2. Hard to say coz it could still be from vaping before. I might drop to 0.05 in a while but in theory i am already having very little nic. muscles and nerves ached quite bad and my head feels weird. no wonder it is difficult.
Nice talk.. i,ve made some experiences ,that i want to share.at least iwas quitting nicotine ,...after 30+years. I,ve quit drinking,joints..,and now finally smoking at all. That habit was such a big part of my personality,or ...what i thougt,it would be... I did all the withdraws alone,.,booze was unbelievable hard ,... Marihuana just three days..., nicotine seemed impossible to quit,whithout the previous fights with those other Habits. Some say,you just have to wait three days,look at the walls,having moodswings,...but for me it took four weeks of aktive waiting,the days to end.... Its worth it... Cheers now i tap my shoulder from time to time
I just want to point out that nicotine replacement therapy is not quitting, no matter what form you take it in. If you’re still using nicotine you’re an addict, quit cold turkey and endure a few days of discomfort and then enjoy the rest of your life knowing you beat nicotine. You can do this
God can deliver too and more importantly. I tried to listen to this. The stigma is huge and starts with the educated offendable 300 dollar an hour humble servant.
That’s how I feel. I smoke myself, and I still wish they would ban these damn things. But that wouldn’t stop it from circulating no more than illegal drugs have. It would just make them more “precious” and expensive. Some underground entity would produce them.
@@lyvinlyphe9644 it will never happen to many people getting rich ,they just care about profits only ,I'm giving it another go trying to quit it's hard as hell
Every heard about prohibition? Something tells me that creating a back market for cigarettes is a worse idea... Which is exactly what would happen when you "outlaw" a world full of people entrenched in years of nicotine addiction from getting their drug.
So what was the point of even posting this comment then? Did it kind of relieve that want to troll someone? By saying this you just trolled because you in a more passive way just trolled anyone that’s commented and has come back and see this comment. See what I mean?
I feel like i was hooked on like the 3rd cigarette. Sort of blame my mom for smoking while pregnant, i fully believe she gave birth to basically an ex smoker that was already primed for the addiction. Not to throw her under the bus just fyi if your a pregnant woman you may be damning your child to it. Finally ready to quit after 20+years and all the bastard taxes they put on it, nothing has been taxed like it, and its fkd because it truly is the hardest to quit and the government can just rake in money from addicts and the general public actually agrees with that. They dont tax the tobacco manufacturers Just the users.
Im only half way through, but so far hes leaving out a couple legitimate pleasures derived from smoking, not just the nicotine or associations. Look, its not all 100 percent a complete trick, as if theres no actual pleasure, kr any pleasure is just a lie. No, in the moments of smoking, the enjoyment and experience of a cigarette, theres the feeling of the smoke hitting the throat/lings, the swirl of the smoke, the rich taste of the tobacco (if its a well made, quality cigarette), flicking the ashes, etc. These are real things and real enjoyments. Im not in denial that nicotine is what keeps the whole train moving, but non smokers, understand that, at least in my experience, smokers mostly are not having a cigarette and just choking it down in disgust just to get our nicotine. The experience of smoking tobacco, in this case cigarettes, carries with it a multitude of pleasures aside from the nicotine. I would argue the physical sensations and actions of smoking are just as addictive as the nicotine. Its a double whammy. Worth it? Probably not, but even with the addictive factor, there is still the libertarian side of me that wins out. Even a leathal peoduct like cigarettes should remain legal. Lots of people smoke and want/need their cigarettes. If someone is reading this that find cigarettes reprehensible and wants them banned, and maybe even decides to be a karen and say that even me smoking a cigarette outdoors should be banned, just because the smoke may slightly blow in the path of someone walking who could very easily choose to step out of the way for a second or so... Please know that, as far as myself, if im still smoking, its because of the nicotine Plus the equally great experience of the tobacco plant itself. I can only speak for myself, but trust me, most of us arent choking em down just to get a drug. First one of the day with coffee is so delicious, it makes me wish i could take a bite right out of the damn cancer stick.
This woman's questions are so long & convoluted, I don't know what she's babbling about. Hot tip: mute the woman but listen to the dude. She can't string a sentence together.
NIH has studies that show consequences of nicotine. He is living in the past. Get with it, new research exists in the UK, Swedan, Europe and finally here. Throw away the concept anything that is not smoking is "benign."
Enjoyed the interview. However, you lost me when you talked about the study....due to personal experience, they just want the warning taken off and the study is false information
Side effects of chantix Shortness of breath Xerostomia Nausea Trouble Sleeping Abnormal dreams Chest pain Seizures Difficulty concentrating Gas Headache Sleepwalking Rash with peeling skin Serious skin reactions Allergic reactions Blurred vision Cardiovascular events Constipation Dizziness Depression Increased appetite Skin rash Sweating Abdominal pain Anxiety Varenicline is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. (This means chantix will harm the kidneys, however if you have renal rfailure it will hurt them more) the risk of cardiovascular events associated with the use of varenicline is judged to be minimal and clinically insignificant (insignificant to who?) (Does this mean I should gambel with my life because it says minimal?) Contact your healthcare professional if you experience new or worsening symptoms of cardiovascular disease while taking Chantix, for example: Shortness of breath or trouble breathing. New or worsening chest pain. New or worse pain in legs when walking. 🤔🤨 Why would anyome want to take something proven to damage vital origins? Why would trust someone who practices everyday because they don't know what they are doing but think they do? Why would you not trust your creator and wash your body out with herbs and foods which have no negative side effects on the body? Today is 7/6/24 My husband was in the hospital about a month ago due to an infection and gave the hospital permission to damage all his vital origins with 2 antibiotics because the dr said it could happen doesn’t mean it will.🤔🤨 Drugs damaged my husband origins, his origing were made worse with drugs said to help. His kidneys were at 30% when intering the hospital, the antibiotics took them to 11%. We left the hospital now I am helping him 100% natural with food and herbs. The entire medical system was set up to depopulate the world. 😡🤬 It is definitely working.

I successfully quit cigarettes smoking vapes, then I found out they destroyed me almost as bad. Messed my trachea up pretty bad. Made my breathing so much worse
Congratulations on your "Speak Your Mind - How To Quit Smoking When You Believe You Can't" inspirational thanks for sharing. 🚭
i'm in my 4th day and i feel like my cells thanking me and yelling at me at the same time. I feel as there is another person within me dying to go to the shop and asking for a pack. The simple buying of cigarettes is so appealing to me it hurts. I envision all the steps necessary for the purchasing of a pack of cigarettes. The idea of buying and coming back home to have a smoke (or 5) with coffee seems incredibly attractive. The idea of having smoke in my mouth and going into my lungs seems like "A BREATH OF FRESH AIR". Now THAT'S sabotage...
On the other hand, i know that after the first puff the level of disappointment would go through the roof, there won't be any fresh air but clogged arteries and risk of cancer. There won't be any peace but anxiety. There won't be joy but sadness and a constant reminder of weakness and subjugation. Seeing my beautiful supportive wife, which understands me even if i relapsed 100 times is even more saddening. Waking up coughing like mad and spitting brown goo that could be used as glue isn't a pretty sight at all.
The past weekend i stopped and it was such a peculiar weekend that felt to me like a completely different world. I've stopped before for more than 4 days (i think i went 3 weeks or so) but it was never like this. This weekend i did basically nothing but watch movies with my wife. It was like i was drugged, i felt so happy to just stay near my wife and talk about what we were looking at. Just wanted to share.
My body and my brain are dumb. They crave this poison like mad and i feel that this time it's different. To everyone going remotely through this, i wish you fortitude of mind, reason, logic and power! Luck won't help you.
Biggest mistake I ever made, was to quit smoking. I got fat. I gained 140 pounds. I struggled with diets and exercise but I could not stop the weight from coming on. I went from a slim 135 all the way up to a pot belly 275. That's right, I almost made it to 300. My waist went from a 32 to a 50. I got kicked out of the navy for being obese and I lost my retirement. I developed severe sleep apnea and I'm a borderline diabetic. I had to give 5 trash bags stuffed full of my favorite clothes to charity. I had to give up running, water skiing, riding my bike and scuba diving because I got too fat. Had I known I was going to get fat like this, you best believe, I would have never quit smoking. And to top it off, it was a very tough thing for me to do
Its my 3rd day without smoking now. Its not easy but eventually it will get better i hope
How you doing I’m In day one?
Strength to you I'm still trying hope you win 🏆
@@traceysamuels7822 yea i started again its a worse addiction
I'm on my 5th day this is really hard for me been smoking 50 years reading the comment on here helps take my mind off of cigarettes, I'm taking this one day at a time 😮
I know now who I'm because of smoking. Today is very powerful to decide
I have hope again thanks to this episode 🎉❤
Tomorrow will be day 1 for me AGAIN.
The hundredth time is the charm😅😢
Iam quiting I don’t want to die sooner that was motivational
I failed more times than I can remember, I'm free now but we're never completely free from addiction, we're on probation for the rest of our lives.
Thanks professor!! It’s really helpful to quiet smoking
this was very manner useful-2 people calmly discussing and framing in a down to earth manner thank you
I have mental health issues and I'm on day 2 of quiting still smoking weed pure as it's not as harmful as tobbaco and it helps me with my mental health were tobbaco dose not it makes me depressed
Might not be a great with the weed in the long run especially with preexisting mental health issues. It's linked to psychosis things like that. People who like weed like to downplay these things. Best of luck
True that brother
Hope you still doing well brah
They're such different things though.
@@clkp4520 I second this word of advice.
I am on day 3 of going Cold Turkey. I tried many times before, but never ‘Cold Turkey’
How's the quit going?
This interviewer is really good
I've been smoking 49 years now how can I stop
Thank u. I quit today
The mindfulness book "30 Days to Quit Smoking" by Harper Daniels is good.
I've been at this now going on 55 years. I had stopped completely for about 6 months, but temptation is always looming in the background. I have been a smoker now for close to 55 years and it's not getting any easier. The problem is old movies and everyone smoking in the movies. I'm down to about 2 cigarettes a day, but the movies are always telling me one more won't kill me.
I have come to the conclusion that I AM going to die and no amount of not smoking is going to change that. I'd kind of like to be able to dictate the time I'm going to die, but that smacks of the notion of suicide.
I've been the caregiver of three different elderly non-smokers who all died and lived pretty miserable lives beyond 65..
I'm thinking that if I make it to 70 or so I'll have done pretty darn good.
Wow! It's got a pretty good hold on you. Do you have children and grandchildren? I quit a measly 10 days ago I've tried quitting about 5 times before this is my 6th attempt and I'm thinking it will be my last. Dying isn't the issue, the suffering before the death is the problem.
Yeah that’s one of the most common lies we tell ourselves (we want to smoke) from our addiction devil. lol Hoping this video motivates me more!
Lie 1- “I want/need a cigarette”
Lie 2- “1 more won’t hurt”
Lie 3- “nicotine helps me calm down”
Lie 4- “Quitting smoking is hard”
Lie 5- “I can’t quit smoking”
Lie 6- “I enjoy smoking”
😅 learned how much we lie to ourselves when I read Allen Carrs book- I quit for 6 weeks after reading his book. My husband smokes too and he hadn’t quit, I like to blame him for my relapse 😂 but I know it ain’t his fault 😅
You're thinking like I think... But we've got to be wrong. We've got to quit. In Jesus'name, please help us. Amen
@@emilysloan492 I have my 0.1mg liquid. A drop in the coffee is so satisfying. I wake up in the morning with the bottle clenched in my hand and have a drop after breakfast.😜 I bought the Alan Carr book but it didnt work for me. my brother read it but he became even more of an idiot. I decided i didnt want to stop like that wishing for a smoke and trying to brainwash myself it was not true. Taking it out on other people. I did watch some hypnosis videos but I think this liquid is really helping even tho it is mostly water or maybe coz it is mostly water. i don't know it practically still gives dry mouth and stuff but with some mint juice not so much. i think the 0.1 is definitely better than 0.2. Hard to say coz it could still be from vaping before. I might drop to 0.05 in a while but in theory i am already having very little nic. muscles and nerves ached quite bad and my head feels weird. no wonder it is difficult.
Nice talk.. i,ve made some experiences ,that i want to share.at least iwas quitting nicotine ,...after 30+years. I,ve quit drinking,joints..,and now finally smoking at all. That habit was such a big part of my personality,or ...what i thougt,it would be... I did all the withdraws alone,.,booze was unbelievable hard ,... Marihuana just three days..., nicotine seemed impossible to quit,whithout the previous fights with those other Habits. Some say,you just have to wait three days,look at the walls,having moodswings,...but for me it took four weeks of aktive waiting,the days to end.... Its worth it... Cheers now i tap my shoulder from time to time
I just want to point out that nicotine replacement therapy is not quitting, no matter what form you take it in. If you’re still using nicotine you’re an addict, quit cold turkey and endure a few days of discomfort and then enjoy the rest of your life knowing you beat nicotine. You can do this
Day 1 , I am a non smoker
How's your quit going?
@@Nordia16cool picture 😁
My brother is like that. He can smoke . Then goes months without smoking. He may smoke a few . Most of the time he is smoke free.
I love her spirit
Thank you 🙏 I'm quitting 😊🎉
Great interview!!!!
This is neat. Thanks.
Why don't they get rid of smokes all together in shops
Because the sky is blue
I'm done today
I may have to admit to my mental illness.. whatever it maybe & quit smoking.🙏
God can deliver too and more importantly.
I tried to listen to this.
The stigma is huge and starts with the educated offendable 300 dollar an hour humble servant.
Thankyou so much
This video is making me want to smoke..
@Nicholas Bennett 😆 I'm glad Im on the other side of the screen, so I can smoke my brains out. kidding.
😆😆😆
Die from cigrate is not a problem but the life we suffer because of cigrate in health is main problem so till u live live healthly
Yes!🎉
Thank you
Outlaw the damn thing stop making them problem solved
That’s how I feel. I smoke myself, and I still wish they would ban these damn things. But that wouldn’t stop it from circulating no more than illegal drugs have. It would just make them more “precious” and expensive. Some underground entity would produce them.
I agree. Cigarettes and tobacco should be illegal.
@@lyvinlyphe9644 it will never happen to many people getting rich ,they just care about profits only ,I'm giving it another go trying to quit it's hard as hell
Every heard about prohibition?
Something tells me that creating a back market for cigarettes is a worse idea...
Which is exactly what would happen when you "outlaw" a world full of people entrenched in years of nicotine addiction from getting their drug.
I quit for 60 days then i have insomnia and depression very bad so now im on nicotine patch for my brain
Hard not to troll you guys but I’m shutting up
So what was the point of even posting this comment then? Did it kind of relieve that want to troll someone? By saying this you just trolled because you in a more passive way just trolled anyone that’s commented and has come back and see this comment. See what I mean?
I feel like i was hooked on like the 3rd cigarette. Sort of blame my mom for smoking while pregnant, i fully believe she gave birth to basically an ex smoker that was already primed for the addiction. Not to throw her under the bus just fyi if your a pregnant woman you may be damning your child to it. Finally ready to quit after 20+years and all the bastard taxes they put on it, nothing has been taxed like it, and its fkd because it truly is the hardest to quit and the government can just rake in money from addicts and the general public actually agrees with that. They dont tax the tobacco manufacturers Just the users.
Im only half way through, but so far hes leaving out a couple legitimate pleasures derived from smoking, not just the nicotine or associations. Look, its not all 100 percent a complete trick, as if theres no actual pleasure, kr any pleasure is just a lie. No, in the moments of smoking, the enjoyment and experience of a cigarette, theres the feeling of the smoke hitting the throat/lings, the swirl of the smoke, the rich taste of the tobacco (if its a well made, quality cigarette), flicking the ashes, etc. These are real things and real enjoyments. Im not in denial that nicotine is what keeps the whole train moving, but non smokers, understand that, at least in my experience, smokers mostly are not having a cigarette and just choking it down in disgust just to get our nicotine. The experience of smoking tobacco, in this case cigarettes, carries with it a multitude of pleasures aside from the nicotine. I would argue the physical sensations and actions of smoking are just as addictive as the nicotine. Its a double whammy. Worth it? Probably not, but even with the addictive factor, there is still the libertarian side of me that wins out. Even a leathal peoduct like cigarettes should remain legal. Lots of people smoke and want/need their cigarettes. If someone is reading this that find cigarettes reprehensible and wants them banned, and maybe even decides to be a karen and say that even me smoking a cigarette outdoors should be banned, just because the smoke may slightly blow in the path of someone walking who could very easily choose to step out of the way for a second or so... Please know that, as far as myself, if im still smoking, its because of the nicotine Plus the equally great experience of the tobacco plant itself. I can only speak for myself, but trust me, most of us arent choking em down just to get a drug. First one of the day with coffee is so delicious, it makes me wish i could take a bite right out of the damn cancer stick.
I was standing outside smoking while it was -12 degrees and i realized im retarded and need to stop thats while i was halfway through this video
This woman's questions are so long & convoluted, I don't know what she's babbling about.
Hot tip: mute the woman but listen to the dude. She can't string a sentence together.
Stop fighting! Its making me crave due to stress.😆
Just take an anti depression tablet stuff the cigs. Dopamine addiction. That's the problem.
I’m quitting toDAY!
Save this 9:15
911 likes on this video as I'm watching it. I think it's a sign 😅
Day 40 after 18 years smoking
Wow, what's your motivation? Nice arm btw : 😁
I relapse i start nicotine patch therapy i have big depression so 😢
@@dianahincu7809 okay, but you have fighting spirit, do not give up and finally you'll achieve this 😉😁
Chantix so innocent it's of the market. I felt suicidal during use of Chantix.
NIH has studies that show consequences of nicotine. He is living in the past. Get with it, new research exists in the UK, Swedan, Europe and finally here. Throw away the concept anything that is not smoking is "benign."
This interview is so boring... This guy is putting me to sleep....zzz
Agree.
This was def taped pre internet. This s is slow
Enjoyed the interview. However, you lost me when you talked about the study....due to personal experience, they just want the warning taken off and the study is false information
20 snouts a day.
Side effects of chantix
Shortness of breath
Xerostomia
Nausea
Trouble Sleeping
Abnormal dreams
Chest pain
Seizures
Difficulty concentrating
Gas
Headache
Sleepwalking
Rash with peeling skin
Serious skin reactions
Allergic reactions
Blurred vision
Cardiovascular events
Constipation
Dizziness
Depression
Increased appetite
Skin rash
Sweating
Abdominal pain
Anxiety
Varenicline is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function.
(This means chantix will harm the kidneys, however if you have renal rfailure it will hurt them more)
the risk of cardiovascular events associated with the use of varenicline is judged to be minimal and clinically insignificant (insignificant to who?)
(Does this mean I should gambel with my life because it says minimal?)
Contact your healthcare professional if you experience new or worsening symptoms of cardiovascular disease while taking Chantix, for example: Shortness of breath or trouble breathing. New or worsening chest pain. New or worse pain in legs when walking.
🤔🤨 Why would anyome want to take something proven to damage vital origins? Why would trust someone who practices everyday because they don't know what they are doing but think they do?
Why would you not trust your creator and wash your body out with herbs and foods which have no negative side effects on the body?
Today is 7/6/24
My husband was in the hospital about a month ago due to an infection and gave the hospital permission to damage all his vital origins with 2 antibiotics because the dr said it could happen doesn’t mean it will.🤔🤨
Drugs damaged my husband origins, his origing were made worse with drugs said to help.
His kidneys were at 30% when intering the hospital, the antibiotics took them to 11%. We left the hospital now I am helping him 100% natural with food and herbs.
The entire medical system was set up to depopulate the world.
😡🤬 It is definitely working.
Thank you
