- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Prime example of why you should read the comments before watching a video on CZcams
I was waiting the whole time for him to make a point
Marcello Cerati even I was
Literally TED talks in a nutshell
It sounded like he was going to but never did. This is a skill a lot of speakers use.
Marcello Cerati YES SAME
Marcello Cerati I'm on the 4th minute and am trying to get his point as well. Thanks for the comment. Now I can stop watching without any doubts lol
Kids beware of smoking if you do you are going to end up like this dude
You get a Ted Talk! &You get a Ted Talk! You too get a Ted Talk!
This comment LOOOOOL
hahahah literally
He sounds stoned and awkward, like he's stalling for time. Are his companions pulling a heist somewhere?
I was so... So stoned and awkward.
Good point about smoking being somewhat of a personal soulful experience and that's why it's difficult to give it up. Smokers have identified so much in these personal moments that giving up is taking a part of our day away from us, a very emotional romantic part of the day. I get your point about a friend in the pocket. Exudes personality... That's right on. Your talk resonates my struggles about this habit.
smoking is the most subtle and sinister trap that man and nature have combined to devise!
Allen Carr is the true Guru
Nicotine is the most subtle ......
I totally agree with you. Did you ever quit? Are you a non smoker now?
LOL
You forgot to add sugar to that cigarette
listening to this made me smoke more.
roaring, you have me laughing so hard.
YaBoiMalli 😆
LOL
looool
oh, marilyn monroe smoked in an era where people didn't know or believe the dangers of smoking, let's all smoke. marilyn monroe is a moral role model after all, isn't she?
Smoking isn't a "friend"-thing at all... I just do it because it feels good.
exactly. it’s not that deep lmao
preach brother
Why was this video even published.
Please see title of video.
I love that the fact there is no clear point.
I watched the last half a second time, you're absolutely right. Laughing right now. No point!
That is the point. Ask yourself Does he even sound sincere? I believe he is probably Philip Morris International Altria Trojan horse. The Tobacco industry would have found it really difficult to launch a product that is intentionally designed to be highly addictive and easy to conceal. They needed to create a surrogate industry to win over vapers and keep the heat off themselves. When JUUL became too big the industry called in their creation to essentially destroy the traditional vape industry then shut themselves down and walk away with the control of the sale and supply of Nicotine intact. Any vaper who used Nic Salts will be the first to start smoking if a ban is introduced.
After reading the comments and listening to this guy, I took away that if people have better lives, they are more able to get on with out the addictions. Focus on the consumer instead of shoving that it is bad for you down everyones throat, try finding what people actually need can help with a serious health crisis. Just IMO
i think he's trying to promote sticking to cigarettes
Take a public speaking course. Form a thesis. Your main idea. Your secondary ideas and expound on that. You are talking without a concise point but, you are amazing at boring me to sleep.
This was more of a JUUL ad than anything else. I was looking for a video to discourage teenagers from using JUUL. This is sad. So many kids are addicted now.
The speaker co-founded JUUL. Seriously.
Misses the point that nicotine is a harmful & addictive drug!
Advertises cigarettes as a desirable product.
No points being made.
Your exactly right.
What exactly is this guy talking about? Smoking, cell phones, rats, morphine, design thinking??
Tim Nelson the answer we're all looking for :P
exactly!! 🤔
😂😂😂
the very worst TED talk i have even seen
Cant wait to see you grow a pair and do one of your own.
16 mins of my life lost for nothing
Cigarette is one of those things you might say eliminating human kind. Again, not only cigarettes. It's like a slow poisoned alien attack we're unknown of.
People in the comments are going thru withdraws lol
indeed
Lol
Yep bad rn
More so due to the lockdown 😂
Kelly test is scheduled actually at 930 I should be back then..... Do you want me to leave key just in case? And I can turn off the alarm so he would need to worry about that
Dude is from the e-cig company JUUL. Clear conflict of interest
This ^
poor guy did his best...clearly he is not a good public speaker, yet he tried.He got on the stage and tried to give his best. I dont understand why everyone is bashing him like this.. be kind,it doesn’t cost much.
talk to any ex-smoker, even one that had quit for 20 years and 9/10 will tell you they miss it. smoking is a lifestyle, it becomes apart of your entire life. if you're a non-smoker then you well never ever understand what it's like. Smoking made me feel awful. I smoked for a long time and wasted a lot of money but i loved every second of it. i bought a vape and my cough is gone, i can smoke in my apartment, i don't smell and yet i still get that 5 minutes. it's a genius product and i totally agree with what he's saying.
dunkinking those comments I look for when deciding to buy a product online, this is it, this sounds like a placed comment by the product maker, in what world did his talk make any sense, sure like here and there good sound bites but that’s it, all seemingly random sound bites cobbled together for a long reach argument, I don’t want to miss smoking, it’s the worst thing in the world
Guy who runs an e-cigarette company giving a talk on smoking, FYI
Literally didn’t get what he was trying to say? How was that supposed to stop me smoking?
He will make a good politician, talking a lot and making no point!
Irritating talk. When he talked about the rats I thought his point might be that we wouldn't need to smoke if our lives were more fulfilling socially or whatever but then he veered into this kind of vague "let's design better alternatives to smoking" track and ended with "design is good".
Lol, I just looked this guy up...he's a cofounder of Juul.
Im been quiting weedsmoking 3months ago after smoking( and alot of harder drugs, been clean(hard drugs) for 7-8years now) since I was 13, now 36. Free of cannabis is actually not that hard and im suprised by myself...but started to smoke alot more cigarettes when clean of drugs...2 weeks ago I started to jog and lift weights...today im quiting cigarettes...this channel been big help for me and wishes for a clean and healthy me in future...I will tune in here to watch more videos when needed...thx 4 nice channel
How’s your journey going ?did u make progress??
What is happening????
He should have made his point clearer, I didn't get what he was getting at.
it's quit clear that he could not quit.
could not follow the point he was trying to make, and I had to do a discussion on this .
Went for a run at 6am because I couldnt sleep. CZcams brought this video up and made me feel like smoking.....
Is anybody actually listening? Or are you all too busy looking for someone to hurl insults at - do you feel better now? For the rest of you who are baffled and genuinely want to know what he is trying to say, it is simply this:
"It isn't smoking that we "love," it's the things that smoking does for you" @13:09
He is NOT saying that the solution is TO smoke to make ourselves feel better, because smoking does not make you feel better - smoking only takes away, it only makes you less.
He's basically saying, smoking only makes you THINK you feel better, all the while making you worse off for having smoked.
And so, he says, "when we understand that [having a feeling of being better off] is what is at the heart of smoking, we can create entire new paradigms for a [genuine] solution."
He never said the solution is to smoke. Smoking never improved anyone's life. But he said, there is coming down the pike a product that will actually IMPROVE the lives of a billion people . Right now, that hasn't happened. But the fact that the tobacco industry (nicotine delivery industry) recognizes smoking cigarettes is a BIG problem [hence, the willingness to put out a product such as the imperfect e-cigarette], it's only a matter of of very short period of time when someone actually will create a product that will give people that ability to "escape" from their stresses of the world without damaging their bodies and minds.
Personally, I find that hard to believe and if it did happen - it's in my humble opinion still the unholy sitting in the place of the holy. Because nothing outside of you can make you better. And anything that you give the power to make you feel better, you've automatically given the power to make you feel worse. If it can be given to you, it can be taken away. That is why Jesus said: STORE UP FOR YOURSELVES TREASURES IN HEAVEN [heaven is inside you - not *out there*] WHERE NEITHER MOTH CAN DESTROY OR THIEVES CAN BREAK IN AND STEAL.
This is all over the place...
When I listen to talks given by people who go to $tanford and such I feel so much better about my degree 😅
This is what happens when you end up with when you give kids participation trophies and awards.
I smoked a cig while watching this
Sounds like that Giraffe from Madagascar
I have no other words than saying that this is apsurd.
Woooww.... so much hate in comments :D
Brought to you by Philip Morris.
Reference; Thankyou for smoking / type film lobbyism has evolved.
I saw a Rock Hudson movie in a scene he was sitting with while having a cigarette and I thought that was cool about him
I didn't know Andy Samberg made Ted talks...
Try Allen Carrs easy way to quit smoking it works
It does!
He wants us all to but his juul
i used mygismo method of quitting. It's free now.
+Brother Delphi What is mygismo method?
Austin Cox add com to the end of mygismp and it'll take you to the webpage. It's s book/guide not an app.
i just stopped at the middle.. i can't just relate to what he's saying..
James Soriano near the end he promotes vaping and then makes some random point at the very end, so you missed nothing but 8 wasted minutes :)
i wasted 16 minutes of my life
I'm sure you waste almost all of your life.
I think he wanted to make a point but got limited by time. Maybe he got with the flow and forgot about time.
ss on the go This is probably true.
so then why is it legal???????????
where is the point thooo
What was he talking about?🤨
Anyone need a smoke break?
Noone else notice his name is spelled wrong?
So smoking only takes 10 years off of your life? So what's the incentive to stop smoking then? I know people in their seventies who smoke and they are healthy. Non-smokers and ex-smokers are not guaranteed long and happy lives. Maybe their smoking friends will outlive them? I have a mentally challenged friend who claims that he loves cigarettes. He is physically healthy, 65 years old, smokes 20 cigarettes a day and smoking is the greatest joy in his life. His mom is 90 and in excellent health. She lives alone and still drives her own car. And she used to smoke until her mid-sixties. Wow. So if his mom has passed on good genes to him and only 10 years are knocked off his life, he will still reach the age of 80. I stopped smoking, but now I struggle with other bad habits that are just as destructive and I am not sure how I can break free of this vicious cycle. A self destructive person will always find a way to get their self destructive fix.
Good man
so essentially as you continue to cite facts and repeat your sales pitch about the love for cigarettes or what cigs do for consumers. Speaking in circles about squares, about dynamic thinking have you connected the dynamics about how many generations of ADDICTS this industry and multiple societies has created? Perhaps the fact that those third world countries you spoke of that were sooo happy to receive tobacco to trade because of the grim truth that literally billions of dollar generated by this industry has made the world and those in power too comfortable with the revenue at the expense of public health and ignored cancer, Heart Disease, COPD, etc. I'm a reformed smoker and I absolutely believe that tobacco should be a schedule One drug instead of marijuana! This guy is NOT concerned about the consumer as there is zero health benefits to tobacco. He's more concerned about the dollar like ATC, all federal governments taxing tobacco products, and big pharma.
Thank you guys for your comments!
I stoped watching minute 7!
I think the focus should be on, how to minimise the negative effects of nicotine and tobacco! If people love it, they going to keep on keeping on! 🤣
No.
Yes!‼️💚🍌🏳️🌈🎨🎗🤗🙏🏻🏁Beautiful Absolutely!❗️
This guy understand nothing about nicotine addiction. he should read the mygismo guide to giving up smoking for good
This guy needs to watch a ted talk on communications skills. Whats the fukc is he saying man?
That was a waste of time. Scattered thoughts without a point.
And then the Juul was invented lol....
I thought: Why does this ted talk has so many thumbs down?
And the first thing he said: I love smoking... And I thought AHHHH there we go... We are raised as anti smoking fundamentalists... From kindergarten we are stuffed with smokers hate.
Austin Cox So many things are bad... Driving cars isn't also particulary healthy. Eating McDonalds neither, Drinking cola neither... alcohol, processed foods, sugar, wifi signals, caffeine... You name it...
The health factor of smoking is not really enough to justify the hate that's projected against it. There's some conditioning of children going on to achieve this amount hate. It must be... people dont even listen to your point if you say something positive about smoking. They dont want to hear it and get violent against the speaker. Just try it out. Say something positive about smoking and watch them crawl over each other to verbally attack you. It's because it's heresy.
Austin Cox It has a relaxing factor. Which is scientifically proven. In stressful situations, a smoker has a place to run to: the smoking lounge.
It also increases focus. and it expands the stomach and slows your metabolism.
Lose from those aspects. The smoker also enjoys the feeling of nicotine and so there is a big pleasure factor. There is a reason why so many people smoked and still smoke... not to look cool. That's only true in high school maybe.
Austin Cox Do you notice how much you resist positive things about cigarettes?
Austin Cox I don't believe you smoke...
+Chartoise
I smoke and one thing I realize is that, really , there's no positive side.
The truth( for me at least ) is that once you are a smoker you need cigarretes to focus and relax or even give you a boost.
The real problem is that the problems only apear when we don't smoke and so we tend to think of the cig as a solution when in fact, the one before was the cause.
It's an addiction and should be treated that way, but the taxes in it is too big of a deal for any governement to take any action.
For the love of God make a point. Horrid to listen to.
why is he talking about how its "practically impossible" to make a safe cigarette when vapes have existed for years?
Because v aping has its dangers too
Awful talk
If you aren't interested in vaporizing cannabis or tobacco, yes.
Worst TED Talk EVER! youre Fired!
Top comment realistically
What are you on about m8?
maybe he has huge knowlegee accumulation about smoking and dominated the topic BUTT I always waited to heard something that will encourange me for future but there is no point. give my 16 min
Lol they got his last name spelled wrong
Ted come on. Whether i agree or disagree with your presenters, they are commonly thought proboking to say the least. I did not want to quir cigs while listening i wanted to put the lit tip into the incus mallus and stapes to better comfort myself.
moonses
Interesting company, but a terrible TED talk.
not a good speaker
one of the worst ted talks i’ve ever watched
I wish read the comments before watching this 💩

He is so boring, he should watch the ted talk "How to say your name right"...
B.S
after watching such a pathetic video, i m opening my next pack of cigarette.
What's your point?
What a waste of time.
Oh my god this is just sooo awful LOL
omg. He might have gone to Stanford but not for public speaking. So boriung. I usually love TEDtalks. This one sucks. I hope he reads these comments and either quits public speaking or hires Obama to help him out. GEEZ
Winston Churchill was a war criminal tho
Nice try mate, dont take what other people say about your talk. talk is good, you can improve.
