😔this just made me cry my eyes out! My father went through this last year. He actually worked at the CDC. He was on Life Support for 2 months for Stage 4 Lung Cancer with a tumor larger than a baseball blocking his airway. He also had COPD & a blood clot in his lungs. He just recently passed away a day after his 63rd bday after months of chemo treatments just to prolong his life a little longer. He put up a good fight. But I cry every day thinking about the pain that he was in. I miss him so much. I just wished he would've stopped. I have never touched a cigarette a day in my life & never will!
this almost made me cry and I recently started smoking. its very hard to stop once it gets addictive. and I'm scared. I'm so sorry for your loss and my condolences are with you
+Rune Varga Quit now before it becomes an addiction.
+Brittany Humphrey I know how you feel. Although there are some studies suggesting that children of smokers are more likely to start smoking themselves, I would imagine there are plenty of others like you who are turned off by seeing their parents smoke. I have an uncle by marriage who is a smoker; he started at about 13 and is now in his 50s. His oldest son follows Truth on Facebook and told me that he would never start smoking because he knows his dad has set a bad example and would never let him start anyway.
The dangers of smoking go well beyond just the health risks. How many fires have been started by people who fall asleep while smoking, or who throw away their butts without putting them out first, or kids finding the matches or lighters that smokers use and playing with them?
12 dislikes probably the people who smoke plz stop
Amazing
like my friend Eugene, his cough is unmistakable.
There are literally millions of people who have now quit smoking using e-cigarettes. Not everybody can or is willing to quit cold turkey, and the patch/pill/gum have a horrible cessation rate. E-Cigarettes work for many people, and they've increased the amount of people who try to quit in the first place. Their harm is generally estimated to be some 95% less than that of combustible cigarettes.
The CDC publishes these videos to imply that it cares about smokers, that it cares if they quit or if their health outcomes are better. If that were true, they wouldn't be trying to protect cigarette revenue by supporting ban attempts on e-cigarettes. They wouldn't be misrepresenting their own internal data to smear e-cigarettes at every turn.
The reality is that the CDC is absolutely fine with you smoking and dying, fine with your relatives smoking and dying, just as long as they get their share of the tax revenues it generates. They can make all the propaganda videos they please, but as long as they tirelessly work to destroy any safer competition cigarettes face, it will always be clear they could care less about death and suffering as long as they get paid for it.
Ben Denny everything you smoke is bad even the esigarette.
