- To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. it is an amazing story. I collected the amazing footage you see in this clip and presented it on prime time PBS as part of a documentary on smoking. TBS asked me to be "balanced." So I got both sides of the story. To see my other work, please go to www.thehoffmancollection.com
I started smoking since my teenage, got addicted to cigarettes. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Congrats on your recovery. Most persons never realizes psilocybin can be used as a miracle medication to save lives. Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Australia. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
From my experience it really works excellently! It doesnt even need to be a full hit. With potent shrooms 2-3 small ones will still make a clear difference. It will be a few hour cosy rumbling moment around rest time, but afterwards its just calm and you feel amazing and gain your freedom. Psilocybin is different dudes, its the only "treatment" I would recommend to someone who genuinely wants to get better. There is no addiction, withdrawal, or negative side effects. It's just pure healing., far more effective than any anti-depressant. You can thank me later
I was horrifically depressed since childhood. It was relentless. I assumed it would ultimately end me somehow. About twelve years ago I randomly accepted the offer from a friend of a few doses of mushrooms. I did them two consecutive nights alone. First night was pretty mild. The second night? Wow. I saw my depression from every angle, realized much. Next day: depression totally gone. Never came back, never coming back. It's like it's a forest far away I can remember, and could probably find again with enough effort, but it has zero impact on anything in my life or mind. They honestly saved my life and improved it immensely. I never did them
again, either. I wish there was a good,
organized way to administer them to people who would benefit from them.

I smoked for 22 years and I"m disgusted with myself for wasting all that hard earned money on them.I quit 18 years ago and its one of the best decisions I ever made!!!.
dave roche how you quit
lmao start vaping
Well done.
@@jasonquil2006 And why exactly are you 'laughing your arse off' as you crudely put it? What's funny about vaping?
yes,, the impact on environment by smoking is awful, too...
Soldiers came back from ww1 addicted to nicotine.
Soldiers came back from Vietnam addicted to heroine.
Conclusion....war breeds addicts, and boosts business.

Well a lot of people like soldiers who’ve seen some shit and been traumatized will turn to some kind of drug
Smoking actually was something soldiers turn to a lot as a stress reliever and when you’re in war you’re more likely to be shot before the cigs kill yo
The vast majority of the Vietnam vets weren't addicted to heroin when they returned but ok
@@87channels The claim never stated that it was a majority.
PERFECT OBSERVATION.
Thank you.
27 year old russian nobody. Smoked for 8 years.
Quitted a year ago cold turkey.
Had day or two to prepare myself and then just said "last one".
3 or 5 days after - absolute hell. Sweating, cold, hot, angry, cold again, thirsty, feeling sick
Then it gradually became easier.
After I regained smells - it felt like childhood again. All flavours and easiness of breath...I don't have enough words to describe how good it felt (mostly because I'm not english speaker😅)
Still feeling urges time to time. Very rarely but still they exist.
I just don't give in to them.
Feels like my first cigarette was a mistake. A big one

I smoked for 14 years, been vaping the last 3. I almost feel like I'm more addicted to the vape, but I definitely felt my taste and smell come back. The few times I have smoked lately I can really taste how cruddy it is. And when I smell the smoke on others I'm like "omg is that what I smelled like for over a decade?" 🤮
I smoked for 22yrs I quit because in my country it's $50+ for a pack of 25s. 1 pack a day or more if I was drinking that night. still crave it when I'm drinking but it's not that bad anymore and I don't stink like a ashtray
In the late 60's there was an all out attack on smoking - and 9 year olds were the target audience. I got the message, I never smoked. Also, the smell gave me headaches.
That was right around the time that - I think it was the American Heart Association - came out with this comic book called "What If They Call Me Chicken?", to try to dispel kids from giving in to peer pressure to smoke.
I believe tobacco companies first authored the lie and myth that quitting tobacco is difficult, because as long as one overestimates the difficulty in it, one's resolve is weakened.
When I realised this, I quit tobacco cold turkey and within a few months I never even thought about it anymore.
Hope others see this.
Sure. But nicotine is documented as being more addictive than heroin. Even by former heroin addict like Keith Richard's.
@@elykspuz6596
Tried but most modern cigs don't have that much nicotine. Now 50 nicotine vape juice on the other hand is hard to quit even if you're only "quitting" to a lower strength.
The first week though is torture. It's a mental withdrawal, and it makes it hard to be functional. If you're going to quit cold turkey you need to take off work at least the first three days.
@@elykspuz6596 as someone addicted to both, I can go weeks-months without nicotine but I couldn't go a day without opiates.
Yup you get it. The power of words.
Can't have cigarette commercials but can have beer commercials.
Because the beer companies admitted the dangers
@@OfficeSupplyRobot I seriously doubt that's the reason.
Scobey scobe Tobacco is way more dangerous than alcohol.
@@PatrickMcAsey but is alcohol dangerous?
@@mrHoppedupford Clearly it's dangerous, especially to the heart, liver and brain if drunk in large amounts. Continued heavy drinking causes cirrhosis of the liver and alcoholic hepatitis. Alcohol was implicated in 35% of all deaths in traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Administration (NHTSA) in 2002.
I only had to smell how nasty it was as a small child, I never wanted to.
My thoughts also. I couldn't figure out why someone would actually pay money for something that smells awful and is bad for your health. By the time I turned 8 years old in 1968, my mind was made up to never smoke.
I wish I could say the same
when i was little my grandpa would always smoke and everytime i smell cigarettes it makes me comfortable and picked up smoking at 12 years old guess i was just so use to it and thought of it being a passage to being a man but idk may just be talking out my ass but ya lots of people i was around smoked
Abitibi_Doug dam you turned 8 in 1968 happy birthday

I was buying candy cigarettes in convenience stores during the early 90's as a kid.
Sad that they were available to kids even that long after the health risks had been highlighted.
The greed of man knows no bounds, apparently.
The candy ones we " Smoked" back in the 1970's had powder in them. You blew into them and a big cloud of fake smoke came out of them. Good Times.
@@enumrob I had those in the '90s as well, I realized the box for them resembled a pack of lucky strikes when I got older
I used to love those as a kid, and they still sell them today. There's a small grocery store near me that still has them. I buy them from time to time just for the nostalgia, the variety of packaging is still even exactly as it was in the 90s.

So glad I never started. Growing up with both parents smoking 2 packs a day, Ash trays all over the house, mom smoked all 9 months she was pregnant. Lucky I don't have asthma or anything.
My mother was a smoker like that. Smoked while pregnant, of course. I was born underweight and weak, had to go into an incubator.
Yes. Plenty of doctors used to be used as advertisers of cigarettes as well.
I used to smoke with my doctor during consultations in his office!
but then again were they real doctors or just actors ? tobacco companies have lied to us for yrs now so anything is possible
@@MegaSnake76 doctors still promote many dangerous things today. Not that long ago they caused the opioid issue.
Why?
Because they got paid by pharmaceutical companies. Being a doctor does not mean someone is a well meaning person. For fucks sake they killed more jews than the nazi soldiers did.

Smoking is not an exclusively "American" thing, Europeans smoke much much more than Americans do.
In Asia. They are largest consumer of cigarettes. Mainland China, Phillipine Islands, Japan, South Korea, and Viet Nam are the big consumers.
Depends from country to country. Norwegians for example smoke less then americans.
@@ghoul2164 in Europe. Smoking is high among people from Ireland, the British Isles, France, Central and Eastern Europeans.
Also smoking is very high among Asians. Mainland China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Phillipine Islands, South Korea, and Viet Nam are the biggest user of cigarettes.
Yeah, but it's about smoking in America.
Wait this comment is 13 years old eh whatever doesn't matter lol
Hello person of the past, smoking is no longer that popular in North America
I was watching a three stooges episode the one about hitler and the nazis. In it cigarettes are referred to as coffin nails which really suprised me. It was made in 1940 so evidently someone new. But i have a national geographic magazine from the same year with an ad that says 9 out of 10 doctors smoke camels. And who could forget fred flintstone and barney rubble hawking winstons on TV in 1960.
I was raised by my great grandparents. My great grandpa born in 1906 was a heavy smoker. Ive seen pictures of him when he was in the Marines in WWII smiling and there was a very dark spot on his teeth from where he smoked. He quit in the early 70s and lived to be 90 although he had a nasty cough. My great grandma was a nurse, born in 1912. She participated in early treatment for emphesyma in the 1930s. They would cut the guys open and WIPE the tar off the lungs with gauze or whatever. Needless to say she was never a smoker. My dumbass, born in 1988, started smoking at the age of 12 because I wanted to look like John Wayne. I even smoked non filtered cigarettes. I mostly gave it up when I was in the Marines and had to run 20 something miles with a 70lb pack.
My brother has lived in Asia for years--Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea. He recounted being in an arcade and watching 9-year old boys play the claw/crane machines that contained only packs of Marlboro as the prize. Smoking is alive and well all over but especially outside N.A.
The Chinese especially love their cigarettes
@@jr2904never thought Chinese would smoke for some reason, maybe I’ve never seen them smoke

My Mom-in-law was exposed to passive smoking all thru her childhood, via her parents. A short time after her 60th, she got lung cancer. She HADN'T smoked ONE cigarette her entire life!😥😡 I loved her so much.
People seem to have all those mother-in-law jokes, but she was the sweetest and most welcoming person. I truly miss her. My wife smokes, but I Think, I'm about to win her over on the non-smoking team. She HAS been smoke-free. Even for YEARS. But something got her started again. I am still working on her, trying to make her quit again. It is SO expensive, so I am trying to tell her about the economic benefits. Please, everybody, wish me luck in my struggle. I just want her to be smoke-free. Is that too much to ask?
Is she still smoking?
lol fentanyl based heroin doesn't exist, fentanyl is fentanyl and heroin is heroin@333-75
When I was a kid (and a carton of Winstons was $2 ) it was the C O O L E S T thing anyone could do, ever. Take me to the store and I wanted "candy cigarettes' to eat, um..pretend to smoke. Looking at this, it's easy to see why.
BarefootandTan barefootandtan I remember smoking those joint cigarettes 🚬 💭 i was cool
It didn’t occur to people that inhaling super heated smoke is a bad idea. I figured that out when I was 7 and took a puff and coughed for 3 minutes. What an epiphany.
You'd be astonished at what you can convince yourself of when the leading medical experts all "agree" that something is safe!
Thanks again for these videos, i hope you know it is appericated by so many people. These uploads of the past need to be preserved and archived its great you share what you have with us.
Every time my friend Mike gives me a ride to work all I can think of is how terrible his car smells. He's so addicted that while he's talking he reaches into his empty shirt pocket for a cigarette that isn't there. I'm not sure he knows how nervous he looks.
I turned into one of those people who go to 'light' a cigarette while still holding a lit cigarette. I haven't smoked for a month but really, an addictive personality is my problem, because the (temptation) is always there. The fact it's a disgusting habit should be enough to not do it 😒 I wish
I smoke crack, so I know exactly what you are saying.
How tf tht make him nervous
We forget that tobacco has been part of the american expierence since before it was a colony of great britian.
yes, but I think what this is saying/stating is when it really took off.
That was done with pipes mainly and this was about cigarettes
My grandmother told me that her father would roll his own tobacco only. Never would be pre rolled. While my great grandmother who was very religious would always yell at him to smoke outside.

She was 54.
Thank you for all you do David Hoffman! True education
I started smoking in the 60s, still at it. I remember doctors on TV telling us how it reduced stress, increased performance, helped dieting, etc. Same gig as 2020 "Why vaccinating is good for you!"

Until shortly after the Civil War in the U.S., cigarettes were rolled by hand. Soldiers would either smoke pipes, or carry tobacco and rolling papers with them in the field. A fellow named Lewis P. Ginter, (no relation), who had been a quartermaster with the Confederacy, moved to New York city after the war, where he made a fortune in real estate. He moved to Richmond VA, and together with his partner, a man by the name of Allen, they established several businesses in Richmond. One of these businesses was the "Allen and Ginter Tobacco Company". Allen and Ginter's began to produce the first commercially successful pre- rolled cigarettes, which was actually the innovation that made cigarettes so popular. This would have been in the mid 1860's Their advertising gimmick was to hire the best illustrators of the time to produce artworks that were printed on cards, that were packaged with the cigarettes, like modern- day "trading cards". The cards had several different themes, one series would depict popular athletes of the day, etc. Most people who live in Richmond know about Ginter, his various commercial enterprises built much of what has become modern- day Richmond, his sister (Anna?) founded the Visiting Nurse's Service. After Ginter's death, the surviving family built the Lewis P. Ginter Botanical Gardens (just outside of Richmond) in his honor.

I did the same. It helps you rewire your brain and you are happy to stop. 34 years wasted. 4 and a half years breathing easier 🎉
Allen Carr's method is really good! 🙂👍
My Grandpa didn't start smoking till he was drafted in WW2. He said they were part of his K rations. He would trade the cigarettes he got for Hershey bars, or whatever.
I never smoked a cigarette in my life. I didn’t see the appeal of setting fire to something and putting the other end in my mouth.

The way they talk about it seems so joyful. But being a smoker it’s nothing like that
My wife smokes over 1 pack a day at $36 per pack. That’s $15K after tax or $23K before tax. She works part time and earns $35K, that’s 70% of her salary to smoke!
Where does it cost $36 a pack? Holy shit that is expensive. That’s about the cost of a dinner at a nice restaurant.

I was smoking in my kitchen four years ago. While I was smoking, I took the time to read the General Surgeon’s warning. Turned around, open the tab, killed the cigarette 🚬 in my mouth and never lighted up one ever again. Life is better, money is used in other things, and my life got extended. You can quit today. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow. Today!
Back in 1978, there was a a smoking room at my high school in Montreal. Kids as young as 12 smoked. In my group of friends, I was the only non smoker despite the peer pressure. I just told them that I’d had TB spots on my lungs as a child and that it would be stupid of me to start smoking. They all agreed

Yuk Brenner was a major help in getting me to quit smoking. His final plea to everyone was, "Whatever you do, don't smoke". Soon after that was broadcast he died from lung cancer. It took me at least 3 attempts to be able to break away from smoking. Had I continued I would not be here now,I'm sure.

I count myself very lucky when it comes to cigarettes. When I was around 8 or 9, I took two puffs on a cigarette I some how acquired and they were the last puffs I ever had. Thank God I disliked the taste of the smoke.
What if we're being sold a similar message, more surreptitiously, about marijuana?
the world as we know it would have been so different as in, 200 years into the future!
Not much have changed in advertising by companies or politicians. This is significant because it was before consumerism.
I hear a pack of smokes runs about $20.00 in New York. I don't smoke and don't intend to.
Maybe they do in NYC, upstate Newports run around $11, but most smokers here go to "The Res" to buy smokes, the cigarette stores run by the various Native American tribes, where a carton of generics goes for around $25 or less. And many smokers here save money by hand- rolling filter cigarettes using a machine, you can buy huge bags of loose tobacco here very cheaply, a box of 200 filter tubes goes for around $3.

@@tdunph4250 I did quit at 19, My Grandfather died of Emphysema a couple years before and I didn't want to end up like that.

The only thing I didn't like was Snuff ( powder snuff) So its no wonder when I decided to quit I smoked so much. Both parents were heavy smokers as well. When I quit I used Skoal to wean me off cigs until I quit altogether, then gave it all up. So think what You like but I had quite a bit of different experiences with tobacco!

I loved smoking. All the Cool packaging. The fun adverts in magazines and on huge billboards along highways. Literally all of them were for cigarettes. It was fun. Then people started getting sick. My parents smoked many decades. Thankfully they quit in time. My mom smoked from 1960-2000. My dad from 1955-2005. Both survived, but they were lucky. Smoked all the time. I sat there suffocating between them for many years and it was unpleasant. The commercials though were great!

This is a 1930s example of feminism being used only as a marketing ploy. Man, history does repeat itself doesn't it.

My father born in 1926 started smoking when he was 12. He also served in WW2 on the aircraft carrier Saratoga in the battle of the coral sea. Was horribly wounded in battle. The last 2-3 years of his life had a 2 pak a day habit. Pall mall red unfiltered. If he didnt get them. Hed get so violent hed start to break things in his room. To be fair smoking didnt kill him. He died of kidney failure. My mom who had emphysema from smoking died of heart failure.
I am sorry to hear that.
My dad smoked the same and you are absolutely correct he didn't get those cigarettes all hell would break loose. But I have to say he always told me don't be stupid like he was don't ever start smoking he knew what he was into
Your dad's kidneys, having to filter the toxins in his blood from tobacco may have caused his kidney failure.
I don't think they are a "dilemma" or a "debate" any more. The evidence is clear that they are deadly, and that second-hand smoke is deadly. There is no "safe" way to smoke.

I remember smoking in Denny's back in 04. 2am with a smoke, a slice of pecan pie, and a pot of coffee. back when a young man could enjoy himself.
Agreed.
When the Navy banned it from mess areas and berthing areas I loved seeing the smokers squirm.
Just go to Austria or Eastern Europe. It’s old school over still.
It hurt us all in the end !
As a woman, a man who smokes is a LOOSER.
It is an instant permanent turn off for me.
I can't STAND the smell and the mens teeth look NASTY.
Plus I can't stand has crazed they get when denied their nicotine for 5 damn minuets.
Loser is probably what you were going for here
That’s Peter Thomas from Foresnic Files narrating. RIP.
Sure is never heard his voice sound this young but recognized it immediately
I quit smoking on Sep 10, 2002. Best decision I ever made for MYSELF. To be a pack a day smoker today would cost $4400 per year.
I was 12 when I started smoking regularly, i remember vividly the first time I took a *real* inhale, I thought my friends laced the cigarette with some kind of drug. I've been chasing that feeling for 13 years now and I don't see me stopping anytime soon
Fascinating so see how little it takes to program human beings
My mom smokes 1/3 a pack a day. Me? Hate the stuff.
My mom smokes and she’s quitting. I’m glad she’s taking an effort to live with me longer.
Thanks to all the anti-smoking campaigns on TV lately, now I have taken up smoking again. Good job. I'm sick of your whining.
i smoked a few times in highschool with friends. never aqcuired a taste for it. most people in my highschool became habitual smokers.
Great point! It reminds me of the 1970 Dick Van Dyke movie titled Cold Turkey where a whole town tries to quit smoking to win something!
Titillates the erogenous zones of the lips? People are crazy... always have been, always will be.
Winston spirit of the USA. I am smoking for thirty years upto now I work and make a living.
Be PROUD of your country! Don't be a square, REPRESENT!! Light up a cigarette 😎🚬💨 for 'Merica!! 👍🇱🇷
such an amazing product, keeps on killing & we keep on buying em.
It's always been the all mighty dollar. Profits above people...they didnt right the book on greed but they sure did etch a few chapters.
.... too funny !! ... our dentist smoked like a stack .. his teeth were yellow and he always smiled ..... 1967 .... those were the days !!! Hahahahahaha ....
Why did pipes go out of fashion?
At 0:33 the narrator's voice made me feel like I was watching forensic files for a second.
It’s the same narrator

This is how feminism started
