- Our new animated video describes how smoking can harm your mental health through the tobacco withdrawal cycle, and how quitting smoking can offer mental health benefits. This video is based on work conducted by Dr Gemma Taylor at the University of Bath (researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/..., and is part of the ESCAPE trial (www.escapestudy.com/).

This video is not what I hoped for - I quit smoking cold turkey, I tryed with patches and gum - but that just boosts the nicotine addiction, once I heard a Audio Book on quitting smoking, I understood more about why I was smoking and the reason I never quit. This is another video that seems sponsored by niccotine replacements, which will keep you addicted your hole life. It feels damn good to be free from smoking joints every single day for 5 years.
If you took your time to read this comment, start to believe yourself. You can do it
Exactly … they talked about all the negative effects of nicotine and then recommended using patches and said „smoking is bad but not nicotine“ …
The said smoking tobacco is bad and not nicotine; which is silly. Nicotine gives you the addiction and the rest of the tobacco plant gives you cancer/heart problems. Addiction is terrible. Everyone should try to get of this stuff because of the high propensity of addiction
@@franzneubauer6877 because that's true?
Yep. JUST STOP! DON'T TAKE ANOTHER PUFF! Don't ever play the "just one more" game. It leads to relapse.
I would like to quit smoking and nicotine all together. I been doing it dealing with stress, anxiety and as a way to slow myself down a bit.
I heard cigars are worse than cigarettes.
Vaping is probably even worse than cigarettes.
I probably to ask my manager to give me more work hours and I will just choose to have 1 day off a week instead.
I take anti anxiety meds, but I dont use anti depressants anymore they make me a numb zombie and I cant work or study.
Day 5 of quitting here. After smoking a pack per day for last 19 years
damn 19 years good luck man you got it
iv been smoking for 4 years 20 cigs in a day too and today's is just my first date
Mohammed Tammous listen very carefully bro...today is my day 11 without a smoke. First 8 days r tough, 9th day your lungs will stop craving for tobacco smoke. 9th day onwards, it gets easier to resist. Use nicotine gums if craving is there In first 8 days
Pretty Boy lol what did u place on the bet? 3.5 months smoke free...not even a single puff
Just wonderful, I have been researching "no smoking freebies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Mackorny Smoking Escape Blueprint - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "can lungs heal after 40 years of smoking?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Paybigailon Unimaginable Prestige - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to discovering how to quit smoking without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got excellent success with it.
It feels f*cking awsome to wake up and drink a Coffee without the craving for a cigarette and to fill up your lungs with that stuff before breakfast
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "quit smoking packs for free" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Mackorny Smoking Escape Blueprint - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.
Did u have more energy, motivation, and less depression?
🚭🚭🚭
Coffee is also an addiction it has caffeine in drink herbal teas
@@jdssurfi am 8 weeks in, and i an depressed, I have no energy and I have low self-confidence. I cant wait for it to go over
I have successfully stopped smoking cigarettes but, experiencing heavy withdrawal symptoms covering confusion, trouble concentrating and mood swings. If anyone else is going through the same without any post medication after quitting this terrible habit. It'll be helpful if someone else is experiencing the same thing too :)
Yo bro theres alot of people around the world that may be going through the same thing Allah knows best
@@raydananu I do appreciate your wishes brother but, if people aren't going through the same thing then, it's all a waste. Btw thanks for the positive energy man.
Bro i am going through the same
How much time it took for you to recover from these withdrawal symptoms
@@mantavyayadav8430 it'll stop the moment you stop over thinking about these, instead start thinking on what to do next, keep yourself engaged in a physical activity.
@@mantavyayadav8430 recommend you to run for 20 minutes straight at whatever pace you feel comfortable around.
I'm reading Allen Carr's easy way to quit smoking and tbh I find I literally do not want to light up. I haven't finished the book yet but it seems like it's a good option for helping to change perspective on smoking.
That's how I quit...the easy way. It works baby.
I must read it, where from?
For everyone reading this comment, same here. I’m half way thrue the book but allready convinced that i’m never gonna smoke again. The book changes your whole perspective on smoking, if you’re thinking about quitting, this is your sign
I've realised noone can help you but yourself I've smoked weed and tobacco combined since I was 13 yr old for 20 years everyday of my life ...I'm 20 days clear now and have saved 550 quid by the end of the month !
Does anyone’s else’s heart beat fast after smoking , and gives them anxiety ?
Yes this happened to me
The irony of it is that heavy cigarette-smoking is often a sign of mental illness (or at least relatively poor mental health). People with bipolar disorder or serious depression often have a hard time staying away from the vices of alcoholism, cocaine addiction, heroin use or chain-smoking. No-one smokes cigarettes more than a psychiatric patient who’s just been released from the ward.
Very well said......a must try with someone who is addicted completely.
Day 12 no cigs and feeling alot better in myself xx
Smoking ruined my life i started to feel depressed for no reason and my metal heath was really bad i was happier before now life became boring because i started smoking more
I am exactly other way around I just quit smoking recently and it's awful.
I have absolutely nothing to look forward to, nothing is as enjoyable as before( coffee and alcohol are both anywhere near as enjoyable on their own) I feel joyless/depressed anxiety is up.
I could not imagine that will be so bleak
Congratulations on your "Smoking and Mental Health" inspirational thanks for sharing. 😎.
Day 8 on cold turkey. Start today
Im proud of you❤
@@cheycl293 Thank you!
Did u have more energy, motivation, and less depression?
Update?
More energy, more motivation, better lung performance
NRT is such a trap. Just quit cold turkey.
Research shows that these people that quit easier with NRT might actually be quitting easier because they're getting professional help as part of these studies, not because of the NRT itself. So it can help, but we have no research on people trying to quit on their own with NRT. I've found i just got addicted to NRT, and i felt like i struggled for longer than when i completely rid my body of nicotine and left my nicotine receptors alone.
I believe that too, I tried only once. But used patches, so remained addicted to nicotine, unfortunately. Cold turkey sounds like hell, but it's a better option.
Went 8 months and then started going through some stuff. Now I’m back to square 1.
Damn! I got lost in the doodles. This is great way of explaining any information. I am wondering is there any app / software to do it.
Day 13 on patches. Only time I've wanted one is at the times I normally would have had one (in the morning with coffee, after food, boredom) so I've changed my routine a bit and I don't miss smoking at all. Probably will when I drop to a lower dose of patches but that's a few weeks away yet
Good video. More people should see this.
Very nice animation, have shared it
Quitting cold turkey tomarow
I wish this video wasn't at such a hyper speed. Makes it difficult to absorb the info!
Day 21 of quitting smoking after 20 a day for 40 years...
8 weeks and its a hell! I struggle with depression and concentration. Sometimes I think to my self, why The F did i quit?! But I know it was the right thing to do
This video is not what I expected I myself become abusive verbally towards others without nicotene and can lash out physically I have tried quitting many times I vape now only reason I got off cigarettes this video was not the least bit helpful to me.
For me the withdrawal symptoms of giving up nicotene are terrible my personality changes, I get very aggresive and people can't handle being around me why I won't be giving up nicotene.
Hey, your personality will always change, that is the nature of being human and growing older with the passing of time. There are other ways to release tension and reduce aggression/irritability. Need to give yourself a chance to change in the way you want to, and not just let it all fall out without intention. You can do it.
I totaly agree because I was taking nicotine punches(snus) and cigarettes in that time I was so depressed lazy low mode not feelimg my body but efter quitting 3 days I feel better in mental health
Been taking snus for 6 years. Combined with weed, vapes, cigs…
I hope I get happy again after i stop!!
Here I go I'm on day 1 I'll get back to you all tell you how I'm doing I've got this if you're reading this you got this too 💪...
So? How are you doing?👍🤞
@@mortendanckert4616 messed up but never give up giving up
I want to quit however its not worth the trouble or the pain I inflict on others when I do make the attempt, I don't like how I become without nicotene however I live in reality, I have lost too many friends and upset too many people shame no help exists for people like me.
There are really great meditations on youtube, such as the Rupert Spira, Stephen Bodian etc., you have not lost anything. Just need to shift the old way of thinking, into a new way of thinking. Either way, these problems will exist with or without smoking. That is the illusion of nicotine - refer to Allen Carr. Goodluck ❤
I lost you on "1 of 2 smokers dies from smoking "
4-6 weeks... Bullshit. 3-7 days and you won't be irritable anymore
No I’m on day 13 and the depression and brain fog is really bad atm I’m hoping it stops soon I can’t keep feeling like this up otherwise
@@lisabugeja6536 how did that work out
The problem is there isnt any better way to deal with your problems than nicotine when you’re addicted theres just healthier ways
NGL I'm thinking of smoking next time i have a panic attack
Well I Need To Smoke. Because I Wanted To. Relaxation & Not Cold. Nicotine Bites The Air.
Nicotine is dangerous, but smoking is more dangerous.
Did she just say smoking tobacco is dangerous not Nicotine?😳
name one genius that aint crazy 🗣🔥
I noticed that too
Im on exactly a month, I have felt low to no cravings the last week, I decided to celebrate with my homie with a J, but we put a cig in it, just for the taste… godDAMN that was a mistake, the taste is horrible it ruined some perfectly fine Zaza, but ye I’m back on day 1 I guess?..
2:10 did u say “smoking tobacco is dangerous not nicotine”? Nicotine is in tobacco
What a great video. I gonna break this down in a video! I hope you will like it. + 1 sub 🚭🚭🚭

Drawing is so small..
unable to see it in portrait mode ...
New Drawing should be in new slide..
You will get more views if it is more easy to see
Day 56 of not having a ciggie am using a vape instead have saved a lot of money by just buying vapes really it's still addictive but you aren't getting all the crap with tobacco.
We donot all know tobacco is bad for us others think its good for us for sharpen our focus on everyday life.
cigarettes literally give you cancer but ok
Well that last bit isnt true. Nictoine is still horrible for you in gum, patches etc better fact check nezt time bud
Tabex - Sopharma if people are struggling. NRT keeps your nicotine habit! You're addicted to nicotine not smoke! WTH is the point in replacing nicotine with nicotine...duh!
*Smoking cessation medications (especially prescribed ones) can cause serious problems.* I recently quit smoking "cold turkey" and just went through the withdrawal like an adult (crying in the bathtub only a few times). I had to do it this way because *nicotine patches sent me to the ER with sky-high elevated blood pressure and the worst panic attack of my life. I thought I was suffocating while breathing, for crying out loud. And the ER thought I was going to have a heart attack.* It is critically important to stress that everybody's body is different when you talk about things like this. It is highly irresponsible and misleading to claim smoking cessation aids are completely safe, as a quick search on any engine will tell you what I have already, just with actual data to back it up. I'd like to stop others from potentially harming themselves with those things. They do still release nicotine into your body and *have been proven to increase your reliance on it.* Please be more careful with your information and check everything.
The lozenges and gum (OTC, unlike the patches) gave me headaches, which can lead to other *very serious problems.* No, they were not used at the same time. They were tried at different times over these past 2 years, that includes the patches. It is tough, but just stopping is the best way to approach it. Symptoms usually peak within the first 72 hours, and when you've been using cessation products to try and wean but still feel miserable after 3 days, well those are 3 days you could have spent completely stopping and you would be *so much further along* with your commitment to quit, and the worst will be over, or just about. Need a way to make sure you don't give in? Look up every possible health issue. You'd be surprised what smoking has the potential to cause. Too lazy to do that but like the idea of being scared with facts anyway? Try using openai chat. The AI is incredibly accurate and influenced by real data. It'll do the trick easily. It can also, believe it or not, provide support to you by telling you things like "You can do it!" and it remembers your conversation and progress better than your best friend could.
It can also reassure you and encourage you if you do slip up during your detox. It does it with facts based on data, but the devs did put a surprising bit of human-looking compassion into its code. It won't judge you, either. It's there to help. ANYWAY! What about THC or CBD smoke?
This applies to THC and CBD as well; while not as deadly as nicotine, if you are smoking it then you are still building tar up in your lungs. Assuming it is legal where you are either medically or recreationally, I have 2 ways to ingest it for you that will save your lungs (and heart, and stomach).
It's better to ingest THC/CBD, which can be done by steeping it in tea for 10 minutes, or if you have a slow-cooker/crock pot, you can simmer peanut butter and chocolate (needs to be fatty and something like butter for the THC to bind to it) with your THC/CBD, pour everything out onto pastry sheets and arrange them like chocolate bars or nuggets and let sit in the fridge overnight. Bam. I just told you 2 easy ways to drink or eat your THC/CBD to help you avoid smoking it.
But, to be honest? If you ARE going to quit cigarettes cold turkey as I have, it would help to have CBD or THC to smoke every 2 or 4 hours for the first 2 days. You should find yourself able to only "need" one or two hits of your THC/CBD product to feel satisfied enough. It won't help much with restless leg syndrome, which can be felt in the back as well, specifically the upper spine. If that's what your withdrawal feels like, then you may need to heed the things I've said as that signifies your body has some similar responses to this thing as mine does.
(NOTE!!! It is POISONOUS to boil tobacco and ingest it. That is how you make homemade pesticides for your garden plants. Please do not ever drink tobacco water!!)
Be aware that quitting cold you will experience mood swings, heartburn, dizziness, a restless night or two, sweating, etc. Don't be afraid of these sensations or emotions. You are fine. You are safe. It will pass. Here are some food suggestions that might help with some withdrawal issues:
Fruits and vegetables: Incorporating fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet can provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support your overall well-being during withdrawal.
Whole grains: Opt for whole grains like oats, brown rice, quinoa, and whole wheat bread. These foods provide sustained energy and can help stabilize blood sugar levels, which may help with mood swings.
Protein-rich foods: Include protein sources such as lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts in your meals. Protein can help stabilize blood sugar levels and provide a feeling of satiety. Yogurt is also acceptable.
Water: Staying hydrated is crucial during withdrawal. Drinking plenty of water helps flush toxins from your system and can help alleviate some withdrawal symptoms.
It's important to note that while these foods may support your overall well-being during withdrawal, they won't directly alleviate nicotine withdrawal symptoms. However, maintaining a balanced diet can contribute to your overall health and may indirectly help you cope with the challenges of withdrawal. You can also spend the first 2 days just walking. It helps, it really does.
I feel like this entire comment just saved my life. Thank you for sharing
# APPLES OR APPLE SLICES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol if so then vapers would not have depression or anxiety it’s the nicotine which is the killer of mental health and tobacco for physical health
People have been using tobacco for thousands of years. It helps depression, there are a lot of studies on that. It's a way of self-medicating.
Nicotine. Key word.
The only problem is for 1000s of years they didn't add toxic chemicals, it was just pure tobacco which is healthier.
@@stuarttacey Agreed. American Spirit is the go to brand.
@@reboxetinmesilat tobacco kills your lungs lil bro
Smh... people have been eating literal shit for hundreds of years too. Yall should try it
Smoking is not a show of intelligence its quite the opposite
Smoking isn’t a show of intelligence or unintelligence it’s a choice
@@wyattfink5827 look up how Leonard Nimoy --and Johnny Carson died
@@williampayne9526 dying from smoking related problems doesn’t make someone who smokes stupid, nearly all of them know the risks, it’s a personal choice it’s not stupid to accept the horrible problems that can result from something yet do it because you enjoy it and you have decided that you are going to continue doing something you enjoy even though it is deadly
@@wyattfink5827 a smoker not only puts themselves at risk they also put anyone around them at risk ,, that sir is stupidity and being a selfish inconsiderate fool
@@williampayne9526 there’s a pretty simple solution, don’t smoke around people who aren’t okay with it, smoke outside, smoke alone, smoke in designated smoking areas
Meanwhile me watching this video while smoking a cigarette 😀😀😀😀😀
She sounds like salad fingers
Hubert Cumberdale, you taste like soot and poo.
Deeply Driven Outdoors ayyy someone gets it!!
youre so right for this
Trying vapes again
Y'all need to delete and redo this,delete this,or just stop.
This has to be the most useless video I have ever seen, I myself have schitzophreania and yes I am on medication I have searched so many videos how to deal with abusive or violent outbursts I have when I ever attempt to quit. I am not interested in being drugged up either through the withdrawals I gave up quitting nicotene I have had enough I am better with it than without it.
