I'm a grown man sitting here with tears streaming down my face. I remember when Terrie's commercials first started airing. As a non-smoker I always found them chilling and full of emotional impact. I found myself grateful that this woman would put her mistakes, and her disease, on naked display for the good of others. I am sorry to see her life ended with such pain, but I hope her message continues to live on.
I've never smoked. Dad did. He was like Terri. He lingered in his last stages like Terri, but his lasted three years. I've got lungs like a 12 year old. Never smoked. Never will. Those who have, there's lots of programs by the County office where you live, paid, for by the smoking companies. They even give you a person to get you through the ordeal 24/7. Just give it a try. Don't suffer like Terri. Or like my poor dad:(
Around The World II yes, She started to smoke herself, but on the other hand everybody do errors and we learn from our and the others' errors... Terrie learned the lesson too late, She Just wanted to Be cool in school and then She never stopped because she just cannot.. We can't blame her, right? Hope you understund 'cause english isn't my First language😌
Music Basement most people deserve to die due to how stupid they are for smoking but Terrie isn't one of them. She had so many regrets and put herself out there to try to get people to quit. That, in my eyes, deserves to live if anything.
I remember Terri's previous commercial. I was moved by her confidence in front of the camera sharing her story. And her saying her grandchildren never heard her per cancerous voice. I applaud her desire to reprise her life by sharing herself in her last days. Me? I never picked up the habit and am grateful. If you don't smoke, don't start.
Linda White hello dear friend, thanks for sharing this video. My Uncle wife in this same, condition. Her whole attitude has changed. She's meaner, my, Uncle now, Divorced recently. Smoking not good. Great POST. It affected our famiy. Because what she did to him. I miss seeing u. Take care ok., I love you my friend. May God bless you always= ).
Thank you, Freda Mims. I've watched grandparents and dear friends be affected by the results of smoking (and drinking). I pray that things will improve for your Uncle. I love you too Freda. Blessings!!
This is so haunting. you can really hear the pain she's feeling. Compare it to her earlier videos. She seemed like such a nice woman too. I hope she's in a better place.
Thank you, Terri. My grandma died from bladder cancer caused by smoking at 80. My uncle died at 69 from lung cancer related to smoking...as did his brother and sister, at 45 and 43, respectively. It’s a wicked addiction. Hopefully people in my generation listen to this message.
I actually tried smoking once, but it mad me dizzy and it made me vomit. I never wanted to smoke again after that. I even asked myself, "How do people get used to this stuff?" It's same thing with me and beer/alcohol. I didn't like it and wondered how people get used to it, so I don't drink, either. Terrie Hall, the poor woman. She used to look so beautiful. As a young woman, she looked kind of like Beverly D'Angelo and look what smoking did to her appearance. At least she died while doing some good for the world. Being an example of what constant smoking can do to you. Well, she is survived by her daughter and grandkids. In fact, one reason why you see people who are so thin is because of getting a snack, they often have a cigarette, instead. My dad started smoking when he was a teenager but I think about a decade ago, he finally stopped. He's put on a little weight because he eats more but he hasn't smoked since. It's better to gain weight by eating a little more than to lose weight by smoking.
I happened to go to sleep with the TV still on last night, and the moment I woke up, I saw this commericial and it scared the soul out of me! It was hard for me to go back to sleep. I do not smoke and never planned on trying, and I never will even think about smoking after seeing these disturbing commercials. I will try to show this video to family members of mine who smoke, hopefully it will scare them straight! Rest in Paradise, Terrie! Thank you for sharing your story in hope of hepling others. You and your story will live on!
Rest In Peace Terrie. You will always be remembered. There will be those who will take your words to heart and quit smoking and those who will not. Either way, you send warnings and messages throughout the world and hopefully those with common sense will be able to quit, like you wanted to long ago. RIP.
Terrie's "In Her Own Words" speech really blew me away, just hearing her story and how much courage it took to speak in front of all those people. If you haven't heard it I highly recommend you do.
+Gumperstein XD my English teacher showed it to us for the art of film lesson... We were learning about persuasive techniques in commercials. When I first heard the voice it was scary af.
"My tip to you is, don't start smoking, and if you do smoke, quit. And don't give up at just one try, keep trying until you succeed. I don't want anybody to have to go through, what I'm going through." - Terrie Hall 1960-2013 R.I.P
*My cousin's parents heavily smoke. I keep telling them to stop smoking. I show them ads, I tell them facts, but they just keep smoking. "I quit when I feel like it", they say.* *I go to a school with mentally ill students (I'm not one of them. I'm just here to learn). Most of them claim to grow up in a "hood" and they awfully smell like smoke. Some bring cigs to school and smoke in front of the teacher. I try to tell them the dangers of smoking, and so did my teachers, but not their parents.* *If you think smoking is cool, it's sexy, it's neat, it really isn't. Kill smoking before it kills you.*
I was watching a video on ducks, searching through the comments when the commercial came on and that voice scared the ever loving crap outta me! Very effective commercial whoever made this!
If smoking cigarettes is this bad, why is it so heavily promoted in Hollywood movies and why are tobacco products still legal in the US? There are many other products less risky, some with 0% known mortality rates for continued use by adults, yet they are not only illegal and banned for use, but filling the US prison system with users of them. Are the people at the CDC for real? YES? Then where are your priorities? Great video, great tool to help kids never start smoking, but until tobacco products are summarily banned, and known safer alternatives are allowed by law on a nation-wide basis, millions more like this deplorable victim of tobacco will fill hospital rooms, hospice care and graveyards, not because of what they did to themselves, but because of the CDC/FDA/ATF's apathy, gross neglect and willful ignorance to the facts.
I agree. The government should close down tobacco companies. My suggested law: A reference to tobacco could get you into legal trouble. After Terrie's first ad, hundred thousands of American smokers quitted.
I'm a forty year smoker, on my third day on patches. My chest is clearer and I'm not sneezing, coughing or blowing my nose, and I don't stink anymore to those that don't smoke. Mom says she's proud of me and my wife Virginia, she stopped a month a head of me. I promised her I would after she did. TA DAAAAAA!
Well, in some cases, smoking is used to relieve headaches. People just find it bad because they read 100000000% of fake things on the internet, and find it true.
I remember seeing all these commecials as they aired. This one was so jarring and disturbing. You can see the hurt in her eyes. It felt like looking at a ghost who had yet to move on. Rest in peace, Terrie, and thank you for being willing showing people the horrors that smoking can cause.
My father passed away just a week ago and he used to smoke! When he got sick, he lost his appetite, a lot of weight, he lost his voice and his ability to stand. His cancer spreaded through his lungs, back, legs and brain! He was in A LOT of pain. They admitted him to the hospital and they had to put a feeding tube through his nose. The cancer was so advanced, there was not much they could do, so they put him on hospice two weeks later where he died the day after! DON"T SMOKE! If you don't smoke, DON"T START! If you do smoke, QUIT! or at least try!
Love how truly genuinely disheartened you are. Do you also go on the 9/11 broadcast and put sad face emojis in the comments? I hope you can be smarter later in life, because this is not the way.
It's impossible to inform consumers who don't care. My dad knows all the dangers of smoking, but still smokes because he enjoys it. These warning campaigns do no work, as studies have proven. Instead of being a culture which rewards individual responsibility and forces people to think longitudinally, we have one which relies on the gov't to educate us and allows to to pretend to be victims. I don't smoke. But if I did, 2nd hand smoke would be more safe for my kids than driving them to and from school everyday in an automobile and more safe than having a swimming pool on my property. How soon until the CDC disables comments?
Derek Uzoh Studies into the effectiveness of graphic warning labels on cigarettes concluded that teens barely acknowledged the labels. In other countries these graphic labels showed morbid pictures of deceased lungs, skulls and cross-bones, etc. -all not effective. I agree that the government has a proper role in informing the public. The irony today is that the government is actually giving smokers healthcare subsidies, making it easier for them to afford the monetary cost of smoking and the adverse affects that smoking has on one's health. These smokers would otherwise [easily] be able to afford a healthcare insurance premium if not for said monetary and health costs associated with smoking. At what point are citizens just children of the state?
I know it's off topic and may seem offensive (I asure you it's not and I totally support non-smoking ads), but how did she talk and pronounce words without opening her mouth, just breathing through that hole?
Thank you for your question. We have a number of commercials featuring Terrie. In this particular advertisement, Terrie is not shown speaking. Instead, we use her voice over the images as a narrator. In several of the other Tips ads in which Terrie is featured, she is talking directly to the camera and it does show her speaking. She is able to do so with the help of the hands-free device in her trachea.
I don't even smoke and I want to quit smoking. That's how much Terrie's story has me shaken. I hope those who do smoke will at least attempt to stop smoking after watching this. Smoking has no type of benefits, and it harmful to everyone that is in contact with it. Please find the strength to stop smoking.
The thing is that unfortunately, ads like this don't reach people that don't care. Of course, it scares a few people into not doing it, but mostly people who haven't started. That's the thing with addictions. You can know it's harmful, but with the addiction, it's difficult to deal with the mental and physical drawbacks of attempting to quit an addiction. Especially hard if smoking is some sort of coping strategy, albeit an unhealthy one. But while I lack some belief in the ad distributors, I do feel empathy and a bit of pride for those within the ads, as they truly want others to not have to go through the same pain and want to do something to help others.
My nona saw this commercial a couple minutes ago and I said "does this make u realize what's happening to u when u smoke" and she said she doesn't care. It breaks my heart to see my nona be addicted to smoking after aches worked with cancer patients for many years.. She tried but stopped trying.. She never kept trying to stop... She just wanted a cigarette..
Even though Terrie was only 53 years old at the time of her death, due to the smoking, she looks like she's about 80 years old.. Was she a drinker too?
People like her scare me imagine a person who came into your place or walked in front of you to ask a question and that person smoked so much that needed surgery and can't speak anymore that really makes me scared, saddened, depressed, and nightmares. I really feel bad for little old Terrie ;-;
really puts it out there,,,so im going to put this out there too....i had oral cancer,,,stage 4 brfore it was caught...i have a feeding tube and i also have a hole in my neck...ready for this surprise?.....i have never smoked ever...nothing nots gis, not weed, and i never chewed tobacco.....my cancer came from HPV....yep....oral sex....really sad thing is it normally lays dormant for many years,,,...im 6 years cancer free now but the toll taken on me from the cancer and the god awful treatment (especially radiation) has left me a shell of the man i used to be.....RIP terrie.....i truly hope you have caused at least 1 person to either quit or never start.....
The first day I tried smoking was the last day. I tried it at 18. when I was finished with just one cigarette, my blood pressure was high, I couldn't breathe right, and the nicotine made me vomit. i don't know how anyone could pick up such a habit.
wow I wish we had adverts like this in the UK, I'm the same age as Terrie this year and like an idiot I too started smoking because most of my school friends did,I was 15 back in 1977,we weren't as educated to the possible affects and outcomes of smoking back then,but since losing my Sister last year and nearly losing my Brother to lung cancer I stopped smoking in January and I haven't touched a cigarette since,I've tried loads of times to give up and like Terrie says keep trying as one time you will do it. For those of you lucky enough never fell to peer pressure to try it all I can say is count your lucky stars as I wish I'd never had my first as that is all it takes sometimes,that's how addictive the drug is. Good luck to all those who have given up and in the process of trying to give up.
Some of the most hilarious commercials to exist this year. This one, the guy who loses his teeth and the woman who smoked when she was pregnant are my favorite. Those are a riot and LULZY! xD
If this doesn't get people to quit, nothing will. RIP Terrie.
I'm a grown man sitting here with tears streaming down my face. I remember when Terrie's commercials first started airing. As a non-smoker I always found them chilling and full of emotional impact. I found myself grateful that this woman would put her mistakes, and her disease, on naked display for the good of others.

Same here. Her message I'm sure will be reached far and wide.
Same here bud your not alone
Hope so too. She made a difference. Bless her.
If doesn't convince you to stop smoking, I don't know what will.
Good grammer will.
I just love how these come on at 12am scaring me out of my sleep.
This is sad poor Terrie. R.I.P
You sir have a heart.❤️❤️❤️❤️
JCHGaming69 I dis agree she deserves it
Around The World II yes, She started to smoke herself, but on the other hand everybody do errors and we learn from our and the others' errors... Terrie learned the lesson too late, She Just wanted to Be cool in school and then She never stopped because she just cannot.. We can't blame her, right?

strider I complete agree with that statement. Unlike others, she accepted that she had made some terrible mistakes, and redeemed herself.
Terri is heroic and I'm glad she is now free. She turned her tragedy into an opportunity to help other people. She saved lives.
I remember Terri's previous commercial. I was moved by her confidence in front of the camera sharing her story. And her saying her grandchildren never heard her per cancerous voice. I applaud her desire to reprise her life by sharing herself in her last days.
Me? I never picked up the habit and am grateful. If you don't smoke, don't start.

I never smoke in my life and I'm not ever going to smoke Linda White
That's GREAT Big-Al Allen!! It's a very nasty habit!!
This is why I will NEVER NEVER SMOKE
THIS SHOULD BE A WAKE UP CALL TO ALL SMOKERS
Smooth Woodson neither will i. it's just stupid & nasty
This is so haunting. you can really hear the pain she's feeling. Compare it to her earlier videos. She seemed like such a nice woman too. I hope she's in a better place.
I saw this as an ad on a RUclips video and it scared the crap out of me. I will never smoke, that's for sure
Abby McGuire same.
Thank you, Terri. My grandma died from bladder cancer caused by smoking at 80. My uncle died at 69 from lung cancer related to smoking...as did his brother and sister, at 45 and 43, respectively. It’s a wicked addiction. Hopefully people in my generation listen to this message.

Katarina Lugavac Esc good job
Great job! Now keep it that way :)
Katarina Lugavac good job 👍
still?
I know so many people probably rudely judge these people in these anti smoking ads but I'm proud of them for trying to help others! God bless them!

her voice actually scares me and my heart is beating so fast right now because of it, gives me chills.
I KNOW RIGHT!!! My teacher played this in class today and I had to cover my ears...
my teacher played it in health class last semester
+Gumperstein XD my English teacher showed it to us for the art of film lesson... We were learning about persuasive techniques in commercials. When I first heard the voice it was scary af.
This commercial keeps on coming on at night. It scared the crap out of me. I know for sure that I'll never smoke.
What a freaking good message, Terrie! Good on you, the world will hopefully listen.

I'm never going to start smoking O.O
cfosterr what ? no cause it's bad and im to young
I'm not gay and even if i was why would it matter to you ? I'm still a very nice guy
Naruto Uzumaki bc you told me you were asexual
cfosterr Asexual = no sexuality.
Right! This scared me..
R.I.P. Terri. She was most definitely an inspiration to others and used her condition to help us. Thank you.
Anybody else feel bad, but get a little freaked out at the same time?
No words about RIP Terrie 6 years ago
Rip Terrie, me and my friends will for ever keep you in our lives as we like calling ourselves Terrie in your honour xoxo

Great pieces of advice there, Terrie!!! It's so sad to see what you're going through. I won't smoke and I never ever will!!
It’s shocking and sad to know that she died 2 days after this was filmed. Rest In Peace, Terrie.
I used to be scared of this commercial when I first saw it
Learn from this she died to early in her life stop quitting she would want you to
May her soul be at it's place of rest and may it be at peace.
This is heartbreaking....
Awwwwwwwh that's so sad I hope everyone will stop smoking.
Thank you so much Terrie I am 14 and I'm gonna QUIT . R.I.P 😭♥️
I was watching a video on ducks, searching through the comments when the commercial came on and that voice scared the ever loving crap outta me! Very effective commercial whoever made this!
See this is why I don't do dugs it changes you physically, emotionally, and breaks your body down and you don't look the same anymore
dugs r bad mkey
Drug*
jeff alex Too late to correct it. Everybody knew what I was saying
808alllday I do know stuff. Your the one who deleted their comment saying that Tobacco is not a drug.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭R.I.P. Terry, she was so beautiful before smoking.
bless her heart!!! really makes me cry!
Wow. I wonder how many excuses people will make to continue smoking after watching these new ads.
***** Unfortunately a lot of teens who start smoking use that as their excuse to try it.
The younger ones probbaly think they're invincible.
we all ar goin to dai suner or laiter so wuts da diferens!!!!111
Nicotine is so addictive you really don't understand. I'm on the vape now but that's my only option I cannot quit nicotine ever I think.
NEVER... WILL... I... TOUCH... A... CIGARETTE...
as if all smokers will go through this
Awww this is so sad! I feel so bad. Stop smoking everyone! RIP Terrie :(
She was so pretty too! I feel really bad :(
Rest in peace Terrie.

becouse they make money )))))))))) dat's why
2019 anyone ?
So heart breaking I am speechless
I'm a forty year smoker, on my third day on patches. My chest is
clearer and I'm not sneezing, coughing or blowing my nose, and I
don't stink anymore to those that don't smoke. Mom says she's
proud of me and my wife Virginia, she stopped a month a head of
me. I promised her I would after she did. TA DAAAAAA!
My mom smokes and I am so worried for her. I cried during this video.😢
My dad smokes and I always tell him stop but he is like, oh it helps for my disease, I'm like" ARE YOU SERIOUS
Well, in some cases, smoking is used to relieve headaches. People just find it bad because they read 100000000% of fake things on the internet, and find it true.

this scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it..

If you do smoke, QUIT! or at least try!
At least she lived half her life... R.I.P. Terrie.
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! 😱 This is some scary crap!!!! Good thing I don't smoke!
Ikr it scares me
Love how truly genuinely disheartened you are. Do you also go on the 9/11 broadcast and put sad face emojis in the comments? I hope you can be smarter later in life, because this is not the way.
this was terrifying for me and I'm never going to smoke ever
This is very inspirational
This is sad R.I.P terrie
It's impossible to inform consumers who don't care. My dad knows all the dangers of smoking, but still smokes because he enjoys it.

The campaign is for teens and primarily to prevent teens from starting

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) how come she dont talk
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Oh, I understand, thank you.
she lost the ability to speak?!
Terrie hall was a great Person who is against smoking.
I don't even smoke and I want to quit smoking. That's how much Terrie's story has me shaken. I hope those who do smoke will at least attempt to stop smoking after watching this. Smoking has no type of benefits, and it harmful to everyone that is in contact with it. Please find the strength to stop smoking.
This is so sad. 😢😭😥😪😢 Don't smoke.
I feel so bad for her
That voice scared me
TiffanyMarie that’s what’ll happen if you smoke or started smoking.
The thing is that unfortunately, ads like this don't reach people that don't care. Of course, it scares a few people into not doing it, but mostly people who haven't started.
That's the thing with addictions. You can know it's harmful, but with the addiction, it's difficult to deal with the mental and physical drawbacks of attempting to quit an addiction. Especially hard if smoking is some sort of coping strategy, albeit an unhealthy one.
But while I lack some belief in the ad distributors, I do feel empathy and a bit of pride for those within the ads, as they truly want others to not have to go through the same pain and want to do something to help others.
So sad. Do not smoke, chew tobacco, either.
i feel nothing but bad for this woman
This is what happens after you smoke so much
I’m am never going to smoke and ruin my vocal cords! I won’t even smoke if someone offers me $1 million
You will never catch me smoking a cigarrette
+Trevin Johnson me either
so u smole, but ill never catch yoy
thanks, now i will never ever even touch a cigarette, but have paranoias and nightmares for the rest of my life.
Rest in peace terrie 😭
My God this is soo sad!
I don’t smoke but here in canada, all cigarette packs have graphic images of what smoking does to you....like this
My nona saw this commercial a couple minutes ago and I said "does this make u realize what's happening to u when u smoke" and she said she doesn't care. It breaks my heart to see my nona be addicted to smoking after aches worked with cancer patients for many years.. She tried but stopped trying.. She never kept trying to stop... She just wanted a cigarette..
Poor terrie Rest in peace
really shocking
Years ago I smoked and this is my only regret of all my life.
Now I'm trying to clean my lungs.
I think it's absolutely the right approach - the horrors are here - let's show them to all smokers.
Who could watch this and still want to smoke?
R.I.P terrie u see people STOP smoking plz ir future is ahed of u
poor Terrie😢
Even though Terrie was only 53 years old at the time of her death, due to the smoking, she looks like she's about 80 years old.. Was she a drinker too?
R.I.P. Terrie. don't worry i have never smoked and never will
People like her scare me imagine a person who came into your place or walked in front of you to ask a question and that person smoked so much that needed surgery and can't speak anymore that really makes me scared, saddened, depressed, and nightmares. I really feel bad for little old Terrie ;-;
I feel so bad
How could Terrie have had smoking and made this ad before she died? :(
when I watched this it made me take a fee deep deep deep breaths
really puts it out there,,,so im going to put this out there too....i had oral cancer,,,stage 4 brfore it was caught...i have a feeding tube and i also have a hole in my neck...ready for this surprise?.....i have never smoked ever...nothing nots gis, not weed, and i never chewed tobacco.....my cancer came from HPV....yep....oral sex....really sad thing is it normally lays dormant for many years,,,...im 6 years cancer free now but the toll taken on me from the cancer and the god awful treatment (especially radiation) has left me a shell of the man i used to be.....RIP terrie.....i truly hope you have caused at least 1 person to either quit or never start.....
The first day I tried smoking was the last day. I tried it at 18. when I was finished with just one cigarette, my blood pressure was high, I couldn't breathe right, and the nicotine made me vomit. i don't know how anyone could pick up such a habit.
omg i feel so bad for terry
wow I wish we had adverts like this in the UK, I'm the same age as Terrie this year and like an idiot I too started smoking because most of my school friends did,I was 15 back in 1977,we weren't as educated to the possible affects and outcomes of smoking back then,but since losing my Sister last year and nearly losing my Brother to lung cancer I stopped smoking in January and I haven't touched a cigarette since,I've tried loads of times to give up and like Terrie says keep trying as one time you will do it. For those of you lucky enough never fell to peer pressure to try it all I can say is count your lucky stars as I wish I'd never had my first as that is all it takes sometimes,that's how addictive the drug is. Good luck to all those who have given up and in the process of trying to give up.
shyannedianne1962 ps My thoughts are with Terries family and friends.
I feel so sorry

86 dislikes... I mean this woman is dead now and your disliking her last message... you are horrible people.
Some of the most hilarious commercials to exist this year. This one, the guy who loses his teeth and the woman who smoked when she was pregnant are my favorite. Those are a riot and LULZY! xD
