    Mom took years to quit smoking (Dad did it cold turkey). She took classes, chewed gum and even underwent hypnosis. None of it worked. She went to work in a hospital and saw the difference between a healthy lung and a smoker’s lung (perhaps cancerous). She stopped smoking that day. That was around 40 years ago… she’s 92 now.

Both of my parents died from heart problems, 2 siblings died from copd and 2 died from lung cancer and 2 died from other illnesses. That leaves 2 of us.

    As someone who recently quit smoking I can assure people that nicotine cravings diminish substantially over the course of three months. The first month was hard as after eating meals especially made me want to smoke. Keeping nice snacks like cashews and such to replace that craving does help. I’m almost 3 months now and have almost entirely lost my desire to smoke cigarettes. Always remember why you wanted to quit and snack regularly!

      After a few days it becomes easier for me. I periodically would quit smoking but I always prefer to. 50/50 from the laxative properties it gives, to also the oral fixation [eating doesn't help with this].
      Nowadays I prefer to vape mostly, notice my lungs feel perfectly normal when vaping as opposed to smoking ciggs. No doubt vaping is better, just make sure the flavoring chemicals used in the juice aren't toxic ingredients. Some of them are, which is why the buttery flavored ones can give popcorn lung, just like folks who work in microwave popcorn factories get [see the connection?]

    Two weeks sober today. I was vaping an ounce of wax every month. I’m an athlete so I rely heavily on my body. I can immediately feel the positive effects. I’ve also put a great deal of effort into my mental health lately and quitting has greatly assisted that as well.
    The withdrawals from having that much THC in my system have been devastating. I’m just NOW starting to feel better. But I’m glad I took my first steps. I hope anyone else struggling knows it’s okay to quit, you don’t need THC to regulate your emotions. ❤

    Edit: currently 7 days sober as of writing(2/3/24). I bought some more stuff and ran out but Im planning to go as long as possible and I'm very confident I can do so. It's helps seeing all the comments saying the same scenario that I was dealing with❤️. I believe this is the right choice for me and what I want in life, it was always a battle of moderation and since I couldn’t control the temptations I’m quitting altogether.

And at this point it was like a reflex even if I truly didn’t wanna smoke I did because of reflex and because I had time to spare. Iv always known how bad smoking is, but this video as well as you guys definitely made me quit. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever stop completely. But I wanna make it a healthier habit like drinking alcohol which I only do maybe a hand ful of times a year ( less than 4 times, don’t really like to drink) it’s only socially. But smoking just because your bored is somthing I had to stop doing it was restrictive, I do feel more anxiety, and feel a lot more like myself in socializing.

    Another thing about cannabis, if you are dabbing concentrates there isn’t combustion, tho inhaling hot vapors isn’t good for you, if you have a temp reader and you go in at recommended temperatures rather than just randomly going red hot it will definitely play a roll in the way you will feel over time, another thing is most dispensaries do not want to produce the cleanest healthiest product they simply want money, most concentrates they make contains butane or propane to get the most possible outcome while adding unatural terpenes for taste, while with solventless concentrates that aren’t very common and quite expensive at dispensaries are completely natural processes including water,ice,heat and pressure are much better for you, I would dab BHO on red hot quartz which means 800°+ and it’s absolutely terrible for you, definitely could feel pains in my chest until I studies more into it

    I grew up in second hand smoke. Not only that but my parents would allow us to have cigarettes if we rolled so many cigarettes for them. In other words we were given 1 cigarette per every 20 we would roll for them. Over half of my siblings went on to become heavy smokers, developing COPD early in life. This is where I say “there but the grace of God go I.” Watching an autopsy of smoker’s lungs in the sixth grade clinched it for me and I never smoked again. Unfortunately the damage was already done. I now have decreased pulmonary function and exercise induced asthma. I loved to run, but could never become great because of my compromised respiratory status. I finally had to give it up because the albuterol inhaler I would use to breathe would cause increased heart rate making it even more difficult to breathe. I love to garden but pushing wheelbarrows of mulch and carrying heavy things makes me wheeze. Do I wish I had never smoked, yes. Do I wish my parents did not subject my young developing lungs to second hand smoke, yes. When I see people smoking nowadays when everyone knows the health risks it makes me cringe. Why would anyone pay a billion dollar industry to kill them?

      That was most likely from shitty cannabis with mold, bugs, or pesticides. There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.

    As a retired Respiratory Therapist, I agree whole heartedly with you! Inhaling ANYTHING other than the purest air is bad for our lungs, and to pretend otherwise is to volunteer as a lab rat so that the bad effects can be discovered decades later. In fact, even pure air isn't that great for our lungs, because of the oxidizing effects of the oxygen on our tissues, but our lungs have antioxidants to minimize that. When a person gets older, lungs naturally become less flexible, respiratory muscles become weaker, and decreased production of antioxidants leads to greater damage done by the oxygen we need to live. It's NOT a good idea to add more damage on top of what father time already loads on our bodies!

    Thank you, I needed this. I've been a smoker/vape user on and off (mostly on) of both cigarettes and cannabis since I was 18. I managed to kick the cigarettes years ago but keep doing an on and off thing with cannabis. This has really given me a push to quit smoking cannabis as well because I'm 100% noticing some breathing issues and they're not going to get any better if I keep going.

I love the smell of a campfire even if I haven't smoked in years. Maybe my perception or sources are off but, that smell has smoke in it I think. You said towards the end the body has 'evolved to breath air and only air', and that seems to contradict the self-conclusion I have reached. Thank you for all the info on the effects of smoking!

      There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.

      Smoking weed is still much better than smoking cigarettes: nonaddictive (physically), better experience, no cancer risk, etc. Of course, smoke still contains a lot of nasty things that don't belong in your body. If you feel like it's too much, consider using an herbal vaporizer or consuming edibles. Cannabis vapor, for example, is almost the inverse of cannabis smoke: the smoke is about 5% THC and 95% toxic byproducts while the vapor is 95% THC and 5% toxic byproducts, making it much, much healthier. Both options, IMO, are superior to smoking.

      @@FHBStudiothanks! i never smoked inside- i didn't want it to be obvious that i was a smoker so i was sure to stay aired out. I don't have kids, otherwise that would've played a role too (i planned to quit smoking before considering it).If i buy an inside-smoker's former home I'll just rebuild all the walls. Hopefully they're drywall instead of plaster lol

      @@muramasa870 Vaping might be the better way to go about it. That way you have more control over the nicotine you are taking in, and you can go to lower and lower percentages.

    My dad passed away in 2017 at the age of 70. He did smoke for over 50 years, from 15 y.o until 65. He had several COPD, arteriosclerosis and so many other issues.

    I've been watching you guys for a few months now and I've ALWAYS enjoyed all of them. Hearing you were/are a Marine, just puts icing on the cake!
    It's good to know that there are fellow Marines out there in this field and spreading great information. Semper Fi, have a Dan Daily day, keep up the great work, and I need to chill out on smoking cannabis lol

    You should do a video on smoking weed vs flower vaping.

    Great video! I have a question related to this: does this also apply to Dabs/Herb vaporizers, or is it worse?

    Never smoked myself or saw the appeal in it for me personally. Glad to see a video about the subject!

    I started smoking cigarettes at 14 and weed at 17... At 20 i was smoking almost a pack a day. It was very, very hard to stop but after multiple attempts i could quit at 26. I coped with nicotine patches and gums and litters of tea. I completely stopped nicotine 4 years ago but i still drink 2+ litters of tea a day and i don't think i will ever stop (my doctor say it's a good trade). I still have dreams where i smoke cigarettes and i wake up panicked because i feel like i started smoking again and i need to go through withdrawal all over again. Don't start please. Thank you for the video :)

    This is why flower vaporizers are becoming a game changer for a smoother experience on the lungs.
