- Christine started smoking in high school to fit in and continued to smoke menthol cigarettes for many years. She was diagnosed with oral cancer in her early 40s. She lost her teeth and had half of her jaw removed. In this video, Christine talks about the moment when she finally realized the effects of smoking-year after year and cigarette after cigarette-and decided to quit.

Instead of showing videos of fake lungs to school children, videos like this should be shown, because the younger generation cares about looks and seeing that that would happen if they smoked would terrify them
Snowflakes would be offended or traumatized. So they woudl whine instead of getting the point.
Well said
And it's what could happen to them, it depends on how long you smoke. You don't look like this woman did for smoking a few cigs here and there.
True
You got that right! 👍
Smoked for 14 years, starting at 16 years old. I quit 4 & 1/2 years ago and never looked back. It can be done, and the *ONLY* way is 100% cold turkey and having the nerve NOT TO BUY ANYMORE.
What about quitting with E Cigs
you know that the damage is already done?
you know that more than 90 % of his lungdamage can be healed with time?
How do you feel now.
Thank you for sharing :) it's useful to learn how other people quit.
Guys it has been 4days I haven't smoked
🤣
How about now
I smoked a fish last week. It was very tasty
Sujon Moktan how are you doing now?
I hope you still haven't smoked after 7 months
Quit date for me was January 2018. Stopped cold turkey and smoke free since then. I feel better than ever! Best decision I ever made. It was hard but not impossible.
hi u still doing good?
Hard?
Quiting smoke is hard, But continue smoking makes life harder
I was walking with my friend who smoke:
Me: dude you should quit smoking
Him: i tried..but its not as easy as it looks like.
Me: my cousin did...
Him: really? How?
Me: ... _he died_
Wow this made me think twice about life.
jk.
Wow thats sad
stolen
XX HE died XX
@HOMIE LB i dont understand
My mom passed away from lung cancer in 2014 when she was only 53 years old. I was 21. I'm never going to have her watch me get married or have children of my own. That is very sad.
Aw. . . I'm so sorry for your loss... R. I. P.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My mom has a lot of problems but I still love her. She has a drug problem and she smokes. I’m no longer having visits with her as she has made me very mad in just a short time period, but I still love her and I can’t imagine what my life would be like if she was dead. I hope the best for you! -Rea
I'm an asthmatic, I tried smoking once during an occasion. I was very drunk at that time, all I felt was a spicy feeling in my chest and left me a minty expression on my throat. Three days passed and I was rushed to the hospital, transported by an ambulance because I was already lacking oxygen, high fever of 40.3C, and a chest full of phlegm.
What I learned that day was:
I can have several memorable experiences, but don't do stupid decisions.
You shouldn’t smoke with asthma. You are lucky that you didn’t die.
Given up smoking now 9 months after 40 yrs!!! More money in my pocket and I smell nicer too!!! And a lot more fitter!!!!!
Blue Lady I’m glad to hear you’ve done that for yourself. Have a healthy life 👍🏻
Username checks out
congrats x
The damage is already done, lol.
Blue Lady well done
Why is cigs legal and other drugs in fact SOME illegal drugs have less side affects than cigs
Population control!!!
Juul, now taken over by Phillip Morris, will lobby FDA and government to keep their vapes going.
You can smoke for decades daily and be relatively fine... you cannot inject heroine or drink alcohol daily for decades and be “fine”
Because some politicians are making money hand over fist, to kill our loved ones
Because a huge amount of people are addicted and stopping something like millions of people who need it to get through the day would be chaos. I’m not supporting smoking but it’s too large to ban it, and the people saying it’s population control and the government; do they not know the CDC is a part of the government? Same one that has been making countless anti smoking ads
This looks sad
it is sad
I've seen sadder
Veris Did your mum drop you on your head when you were a baby?
"I really hope you mean it"
one of the only phrases that would ever make me instantly cry
This commercial changed my life, I smoked for 35years I am now 17 days without a cigarette
My brother smoked way too much. And he never had the willpower to quit smoking. He smoked till the day he passed away!! And he was barely 60 years old!!! He died in his sleep of emphysema and cardiovascular disease!!!☹
danielle Tripkoff oh my god.. I’m so sorry..
Sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing ❣️
Whoosh

Omg rip to your bro wow
You never habe to worry about quitting if you don't ever start.
Yes sadly cancer doesn't discriminate
Too late i started at 15 but i want to quit
Ms Perfect has arrived to judge everyone
No shit..... 😒
Desiree Victoria ..between the sinners and the saints, and it takes and it takes and it takes
I've been smoking on and off since 15, it's been 8 years. Lemme tell ya, the psychological dependency is horrible. It heightens your stress levels and then when you don't have it, it makes it worse. So glad I was able to quit.
I'm watching this right before I smoke my last ever cig. I will smoke this final Marlboro Red, then that's it for life! I'm sick of my life being ruled by cigarettes!
Patrick of Babel that’s why you were able too
After smoking from age 16 to 62 I finally kicked the bad habit.
Do u still have ur jawbone
Congrats
gail LeDuc
That's awesome! I bet you are feeling and breathing so much better now! :)
@@empty_melon6974 probbaly lil

That's so sad..
Advice if you want to smoke: *DON'T*
Best advice on the planet rn 😝😂
Crux Crumblekvf m hdfjhd cdjjff dat
I want to smoke some steak right now but I don't know how to cook steak yet
That is what needs to be shown more often, thankyou for sharing that.❤😭
Anybody else think this is a better anti smoking ad then those TRUTH ads
Definitely those suck
my mother have be smoking since before i was born im 32 and she finally stopped she has very bad copd and now is bound to home cause she's too embarrassed to go out lugging around the oxygen tanks. IT WILL BE A YEAR SMOKE FREE ON HER 57TH BIRTHDAY OCTOBER 10TH!!!! IM SO PROUD OF YOU EMMA EPPERSON!!
SloppyJoeSimmy congratulations
U want cure?
To all the people that are saying if you want to smoke then just don't:
If you're feeling depressed then just be happy.
she is alive and that is what matters now. I feel like giving her a hug
I wish I could give her a huge hug... That made me almost cry and I don't cry really
I quit almost a year ago thank u god
you are so strong lady!! you are an inspiration.
These always make me cry poor people It’s not her fault tobacco companies target people at a young age and it’s so easy to get addicted to smoking should be illegal
I disagree. Illegalizing it would drive it under ground; look what's happening in Australia.
They add nicotine to the cigarettes to get people addicted, too. Sickening.
I wish I could hug her
I wish I could travel through time just by clapping my hands. That's a better use of a wish tbh.
My grandpa had lung cancer after smoking for about 60 years he started in his early teens. Luckily they cut off the cancer (quarter size of his lung) but he has so much trouble breathing still. I'm just so happy he is alive and no longer a smoker!
I'm pleased. My grandpa choked on a cigarette while shaving in 1954. He stopped smoking and lived 60 more years.
She’s still pretty
Her head looks like Snoke's.
@@DarthSpiderMaul 💀💀💀
@@DarthSpiderMaul lets see how u look like lil nikka
She ugly af
@@lilbeam8407 just like your ass bruh so who are you to say anything I mean you didn’t even need to smoke as long as her to be that ugly lmao
My father stopped smoking 2 1/2 years ago and switched it to vape.
Today, I found him smoking in hiding in my parents room. He didn't see me but I noticed he had a cigarette in his hand. I began to doubt everything my father tells me and I don't think my mother knows he's smoking again. I'm quite disappointed and sad about all this and I'm starting to think I'm getting trust issues (i also have anxiety).
If i wrote something wrong, sorry, I'm portuguese
Please do not be too hard on him or take his actions personal. it is the power of nicotine. Remember, he very well may have quit but returned temporarily. It takes several attempts to quit for good. Each time you get closer and closer until one day you can do it cold turkey. That was my experience and the experience of many people. Be patient and he will come around and be able to break the habit! :)
Thank you for your BRAVERY❣!!
If you haven’t started please don’t start, and if you haven’t quit, please quit
You're a hero!
You're an inspiring woman and a life saver.
You're such beautiful inside out woman.
May God blesses you and puts healing into your pain.
Wishing you all the best.
I’m glad I quit in my 30s I’m 2yrs non smoker already
@marcon jake canonoy good job dude. hope you’re still going strong.

Bless her soul
Very touching!
thanks for the tip, now been sober from herion for 6 days
god bless
When my dad found out that my mom was pregnant with me he quit cold turkey
These are great. I am trying to help a lifelong smoker family member but it's proving to be very difficult.
I smoked as well and I have not had a cigarette in 10 years. However, cold turkey is not for everyone. Every smoker has to find their own way to quit for good. I tried cold turkey and the withdrawal was insurmountable, so I went to my doctor and we worked out a plan. I hate the smell of smoke to this day and I am a testimony that it can be done.
What plan did you work out with your doc? I think I need a plan, but not sure where to start.
I need to stop...... I have a son and wife who needs me.. Lord rid me of the addiction
stop the hobbies together with cigarettes.its helps.and if u did it for some days..try the hard things way when u smoke cigarettes..(sorry to my english) me i smoke a lot when i drink alcohol..Now i drink alcohol and i test my self..its realy fuckig hard..my mood and my Head..but i must fight this one otherwise i will never stop smoking cigarettes...just stop the best way to smoke cigarettes its helps
I was a smoker off and on for 30 years but I recently quit again a month ago and today makes 37 days I have been clean off cigarettes.. with 20 years prior of being clean
Unfortunately if you return back to smoking the years you quit don’t matter
Keep us posted if you fall of the wagon again
My kids hate it for sure. My son isn't wirh is anymore but I can still hear his voice telling me to quit. This pulled at my,heart strings. What I wouldn't give for even one more minute one more picture one more cinversation. I,just hope he's happy and not in any pain anymore. I can't keep using crutches to numb my pain.
You still look beautiful
Are you fr?
Lmao what are you looking at?
Dakota Knowles smoking destroys from the inside out. what you see on the outside is the damage of what is on the inside.
I so agree with you Dakota 😊
Then marry her
This ad crossed the line with me!
My Grandma used to smoke cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. But he learned how to stop all 3 of them.
Telling kids something is bad for them and showing a cartoon picture of black lungs didn’t scare me at all. But this would’ve terrified me right away.
Omg, she making me cry❤️ Be strong
One month tobacco free yesterday and I got to have my new cardiologist change my chart to non-smoker. Problem: I'm already compromised. After 25 years-even as a lighter and outside only smoker, the damage is done. Right now it is finding out which it is: heart, lungs, both.
I must cry
I have some family members who smoke and it really makes me scared seeing all these people who quit and ended up this way.
This is so sad. My mother has smoked for years, she never could quit it 😢 I'm so worried and afraid 😭 I have always tried to help her but I feel like she doesn't care about her health and life 💔
Awww poor beautiful lady i just want to hug her... I can only imagine the pain to see your own sons reaction after something like this.
God bless her. This video made me cry. I'm using smokeless tobacco swedish Snus. It's not as bad as smoking and chewing tobacco but it just cant be healthy to have tobacco in your mouth most of the day.. Made me kinda worried.
At least i cut smoking out of my life a couple years ago. Anyway awsome channel i just found it , i will subscribe. Much Love / TITO
I wish to be brave as you.. You are a really brave woman. I wish best for you
More fortunate than other she still has her voice
Is she still around? I knew this woman, back in 1969 when cigarette commercials were STILL on TV, I was visiting in this hospital and this woman DID NOT quit, she was still smoking, from a hole in her throat! A few weeks later,when visiting again that woman's elderly mother had come to see her, and she soon became very upset when she realized her daughter had already died in bed! She looked fiftyish and wasn't moving anymore (at this time I was 13.) The only cigarettes I ever had, when I was 9 to 10 years old were CANDY cigarettes (at 10 cents a pack they were quite tasty). No, I'll have nothing to do with the real kind.
my grandmas best friend has been smoking for 70 years, she’s now 87 and still smokes, this lady was just unfortunate
Does anyone know how she is doing today, 2019?
She's still alive I think. She volunteers with the oral cancer foundation.
Thanks God u still alive
I've never tried a 🚬 cigarette n never will but i really actually wish i could hear her whole story. My grandfather died from cancer from smoking when i was little. My mom chain smokes also smh.... So watching her i just never started
I quit smoking by cutting down an not smoking in my home and then i stopped, no patches no nothing as i believe some of these things what are meant to help really don't....they just replace. I found the 1st 2 weeks the very worse and keeping busy and hands moving and mind focused on something helps. I would love a smoke after my dinner etc so i stopped sitting down for a smoke, i got up an cleaned till i was so tired i just wanted to sleep....it really did work for me. Smoking takes up so much time i realised also.
Love the cleaning!!! Gonna try that for sure. Very inspiring to hear how u quit.
Sorry for her condition
I'm 28 and had my first cigarette on Saturday just gone, it was the only one I've ever smoked and I'm off it for good!
When I first saw this commercial, it really hurt my heart skipping a few beats when he showed that woman’s face after having her jaw removed due to a tumor which grown on her face within because they shown pictures of her even when she had the tumor living in her jaw before it was removed because this Is what happens when you smoke for so many years.
I thought a couple of years ago, they said that her name was Terrie and she passed away, how are they showing a new commercial with her and her name now being Christine?
You can totally do It, I did a cold turkey in the sun on the beach and never looked back👍🐸🍗😂 Imagine how much knowledge and strong you will be and are, i
have faith in you, have a hair and no turning back!!
Im gonna quit smoking. I dont wanna end up with a illness or a stroke or worse.
As minor Who smokes this changed my view point , I'm not going to lie and say that this video made me quit , but I can definitely say that this video makes me loot at cigarettes in disgust and slowly and surely I'm smoking less
No point quitting once the damage has been done :/
poor lady :( i feel so bad for her
God bless you Omg I’m gonna cry
I was a heavy smoker started at age 15. Until 2012
I stopped cold turkey
6. Years later ,don’t need orvwant them
A winner never quit
My Second Grandparents Passed Away Years Ago Of Quit Smoking Has Been Cancer Of Formerly Other Town Sharpsville, Pennsylvania
Thanks for the help, Snoke.
I feel so bad, I am going to raise awareness for nonsmoking
Reeeweew
I feel so bad :”(
............Respect...........
The ending hurts too much
I smoked for 40 years. I always wanted to quit though. Eventually I only smoked after work...but would binge till bed time. Eventually I could feel the effects and quit at 53...Hopefully I diodn't do too much damage
You still look pretty and you always will ok if people say you look ugly in your heart and inside you will look pretty ok
I used to smoke atleast 2 pack a day then i started watching these tips videos. And i quit after that it's almost 5 years now. It's not impossible to quit only you have to show worst pictures of consequences of smoking. Your urge will automatically will go.
These videos should be used as examples upon why you should never smoke. If you already smoke, do yourself a favor and quit. It is not worth cutting your life short or ruining your life.
i started smoking only 4 years ago and stopped for 6 months then got back then stopped for 13 months then got back. im lost
To be honest I never found the appeal to smoking cigs I stayed in Europe for a about a month and smoked almost every day when I was there. I came back to Canada i haven't bought a pack of cigarettes since just because i didn't want to. Maybe i did it in Europe because I was on vacation at the time. But I dont know I was never addicted to it. I guess other people have different coping methods.
Your very lucky to have your voice box
I want to hug her.
My grandfather smoke a lot and he lives in Florida so about 2-3 states away from me. I’m scared he’ll end up like this, he’s 69 or 70 right now..
That's why you should never smoke
Is there anybody reading these comments on CZcams because I remember watching this ad a couple of years ago or whatever because it shows this one woman being interviewed and she has only half a jaw since they had to remove a portion of a jaw due to a tumor which grown in her face, because I remember, they shown pictures of her when she was a younger person and she said she smoked when she was in a teenager and now look at her now she’s in her 50s and I don’t know if this lady might not be living anytime soon because of the tumor may have re-chromed somewhere else on her body.
I feel her pain
i starter smoking at the age of 16. quiting was not on my mind before since cigarettes were my stress reliever back then.
2 years ago.. My immune system weakened and i was diagnosed with Pulmonary Tuberculosis. one of the causes is smoking.
It took me a few months to quit becuase it was hard. I was smoking for a decade.!but if you want to
live healthy and longer that will be the best thing you need to do.
to the people who smokes. think before its too late!
So sorry to hear that! I super want to quit...how did you quit? Any help appreciated.
So sad
I saw someone wayyyyy worse then this...NOW I AM NOT GOING TOO SMOKE...🚭
Never seen anyone who smokes look like this 🤨
She probably smoked much more than others do.
@@DarthSpiderMaul No, she smoked 1/2-1 pack a day for about 28 years. Many people smoke much more than that and nothing happens.....she just got really unlucky.
Hey guys its been 3 days without this shit.
Will never smoke again.
To those who want to quit , just think about life it matters
This reminds me of my teacher,
Teacher: kids, don't smoke or else.
Me: or else what
Teacher: YOU WANNA DIE?!
me: oh, no.
Teacher: good.
Qurks Qiicks what if I wanna die?
