Please never start if you haven't.
I totally agree!
I smoke and I regret it every single day... :-\
I smoke almost every day for 3 years and enjoy it very much, do not really care about the diseases after all everybody is going to die anyway
Dakath Ulatris But you'll suffer as you age so...
You're probably gonna laugh at me but you're probably right. I wanted and really wanted to start smoking bcz all my neighbours around me smoke and they have a great time (including me) after we finish helping them on their field work But yea, they all smoke and they're all like: 'Ugh this feeling of smoking after a good work." So I tried and tried and tried for few years now (basically buying a pack of cigarette every 2nd or 3rd month) and I smoked 'artificially' because I did not like it and everytime I get either numb or I wanna throw up (feeling nausea). I still sometimes ask someone to give a cigarette just to try but I always feel nauseous. That is preventing me from starting smoking. I probably wasted 100 $ just trying to smoke, never enjoying it. I do train and run, so maybe my lungs don't accept tar and nicotine, can't say.
Gon Freecss It must be hard for you to quit when everyone around is smoking but using vapes also introduce you to usinhlg cigar smoking in the long run. It would be a good idea to tell everyone around you that you've experience difficulty breathing as an alibi. If they really care then they wouldn't tell you to do smoking. I am not a doctor btw, however try to lessen the use of artificial smoking. It'll help you quitting and you'll avoid the withdrawal effects of it.
Today is actually 300 days cigarette free for me.

Congrats!
Michael Cadet awesome!!

I just stopped! Pray for me, not gonna Light a single one anymore.
Edit: I am NOT a smoker anymore. 3 months without a smoke. This video and these comments helped me a lot. Anyone can stop, its all in the head. Love you all! ❤️
Still good?
@@Gamesandadventures1116 Still going strog my friend! Cravings Are still there when someone is smoking, But you can fight them of without making a sweat! Go strog brother!
@@vanjajaic6691 Congrats!
@@vanjajaic6691 So glad to hear you succeeded and thanks for the recent update. Congratulations! A lot of the sites are over a decade old.
I was a heavy smoker - 3 packs - and managed to quit for 12 years. All it took was ONE cigarette during a stressful time and I was back to smoking for the next 14 years.
I just read Allen Carr's book and found it inspiring. I'm in my second day of cold turkey and it's not too bad. He's right, I think, about it being mostly in the mind. He says it's the fear factor for most people.
Best wishes for everyone making the decision to be free.
How are you
It's been 5 days straight that I haven't smoked for the first time in years.
Wish me strength 🙏
How is it going stranger? I hope you stopped smoking completely
Whats the update friend?
All the best
Are you vaping? I've been off cigarettes since New Year's and use a vape a bit and I feel much better.
@@Leo-gt1bxpls don’t vape it’s more dangerous than cigarettes.
Even i did the same
I vaped for 7 months
Then it started showing side effects then i switched back to cigarettes and now finally i said to myself enough is enough of this shit, i felt like I’m a slave to these cigarettes. Hence i stopped smoking it’s been 5 days and counting.
Smokers that stop smoking should all receive a medal.
Sajed m totally agree, its one of the hardest thing you’ll ever do...
@@toersche no it's not lmfao smoking is gross its definitely not hard to quit
@@thanosbustedinyourmum you ever have a nicotine addiction?
Jewberto Obviously not, he needs to do more research
No, I appreciate how hard it is, they should get encouragement. But they shouldn’t of smoked it the first place, you choose to smoke that’s fine, you choose to quit that’s fine but don’t expect to be celebrated for quitting a bad habit you shouldn’t of really done to start.
The worst part about quitting for me was the feeling of loss. Like a part a part of my being was gone and i had nothing to replace it with. I feared this feeling would last for ever. I have good news for you trying to quit, the feeling doesn't last forever. A day will come when you go to bed and notice you haven't thought about smoking the whole day and you don't feel empty inside. When this day arrived for me i just laughed abit to my self and thought, "Huh, guess i'm not a smoker anymore".
Hey that's what's up and inspiring
Damn i can relate to this so much. It feels like smoking is a part of your life and personality, but after quitting the feeling fades away.
@@brunoderkameramann3989 I used to envy my friends who never smoked that they didn't have the craving for a cigarette. But then I thought that they don't have a craving for it as I do not have a craving for heroine for example, I'm sure there are addicts out there envying me for that. That thought helped me battling the cravings when they arrived and they eventually disappeared, but sometimes the thought of "let's just have ONE for the party" comes in. Don't do it!
I don't get why people have to make such a big thing of quitting smoking.
If you are motivated you'll be over it in a week: after that you no longer crave physically but you have to be aware of not falling back into the habit.
@@nicomeier8098 Because it's more difficult for some people than others. I myself am not physical addicted, for me it's just the habit. Only time I really have to watch out is when I drink with friends.
I'm 46 and have been smoking for about 20 years straight. I've noticed on mondays at work after smoking all weekend. I'm very anxious and depressed. And almost suicidal, a friend gave me few mushroom stems which I microdosed and pretty got my sanity back.
I have done shrooms in small doses a few times, but a couple days ago I took almost 4 grams and had my first actual trip.l believe I truly experienced ego death..
The first time I did Shrooms I was pretty nervous. A friend had cobbled together a pipe with duct tape. I kept thinking about the duct tape melting or burning. As soon as that smoke hit my lungs they refused it and I coughed. Second try and I was able to draw it in, then again. As soon as it activated I was just like.... Oh I'm here. I know this place. The cathedral. A place I go when I'm tripping hard. It's so weird that I've become so comfortable with psychedelics that i have a home away from home.
I learned more about myself on one trip than I have through over a year of therapy.
Y'all all talk about the benefits but you don't say where one can grab from...
dr.rinehartshrooms
started smoking since my teenage. Got addicted to cocaine. Also suffered severe depression and mental illness. It's just amazing how psilocybin mushrooms treatment actually saved my life. 3 years clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
@@LynneStonerI've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a
reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
@@JordanRodgers-ei5wuHey! Yes very sure of Dr.johnsonshroom. a single dose of shrooms saved me from Alcohol addiction. 6 years clean. no cravings.
@@LynneStonerPsychedelics made me quit a lot of bad habits and gave me a more positive outlook on life and the appreciation for other people
@@Iconic_momentIs he on insta?
I haven’t smoked in 5 days ! Good luck to everyone who’s stopping too. We’re in this together lol.
What!?
Apes together strong
Are you still quitting ?
@@yassinejerriou4287 week 2 and still clean 😁
I am starting today and I’m scared
i’m 17 and have been smoking since i was 15... i quit yesterday and now i’m just watching videos like these to past the time... wish me luck.
Coco Ploofs good luck
Update us
Aye my story exactly the same but i quut 2 months ago
Go ride a bicycle! ;))
how its going
It's heavily suspected that I'm an addict and psilocybin was the single most effective medication I've ever used.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source, anyone?
dr.neilan#
On insta?
Yess.
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
I started smoking cigarettes since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting cigarettes addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be used globally for treatment of certain health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them.
YES very sure of Dr.benfungi. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Congrats! I'm really happy for you that your wife decided to help you. I always admire those who beat their addiction. Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Been smoking since i was 19 , now i m 28 , 9 years of smoking, i want to quit!!! Didnt touched the cigarette from 9 days, wish me luck guys
Chew gum to help! I hear it's a good coping method!
Good stuff
Good luck
How is it going? It’s been 1 month since this comment was posted.
Did u feel sick?
This was a month ago! Good job man
Quit for about 7 months now :D
Mish S Awesome!
Mish S good job, keep it up 😀
and how are you feeling?
Guybrush Threepwood that's sad man
My quit date was august 1. great work
Been 26 days today since I quit. Watching this makes me feel proud of coming this far, and hopeful of going even further.
The best thing for you is to not think about it (trust me Quit 8 yrs ago) Dont rely on anything but your own mind,,,You will suceed
@@nmHispana Well congradutions,,Keep up the good work,,you can do it,,,Just keep that horrible taste in your head and you will win
Started smoking regularly when I was 16, I am now 25 and stopped smoking 3 days ago. The second day was the most difficult but now I dont have big cravings anymore. Good Luck to everyone!
How's it going hope you're doing well
Hey buddy
Just asking how it going with your healing journey ❤❤
If you relapsed ( I hope you didn't) but if you have it ok you can always start again and for good 😊😊👍
@@dazaikage5960 I didnt smoke for almost a month, and I started again unfortunately! But I can say it gets easier, in the end I didnt have cravings anymore. But I now know that I can quit if I need to and who knows, maybe sometime I will quit again.
I smoke a cigarette in this beautiful morning on my porch with a coffee! Your missing out
This is so relatable because I'm 25 now and started smoking at 16 too. I stopped smoking 2 days ago and already feel so much more strong. I feel like everytime I would decide to quit and not do it, I'd feel really weak and finally going through with it makes me feel so much better about myself.
Hope you're still going strong!
This is the video I watched right before I quit. Going on 3 years in October.
Happy 3 years sober
Do you still feel like you need a puff 5 months in nothing but feel like one now and then??
@@gloriasayles9290 thank you so much!
@@jakeevans5460 it's been three years and I still think about it every day. In fact, in my dreams I still ALWAYS have a cigarette. So sometimes I wake up and fear that I blew it but it's only my dreams haha. Three years in and I guess you can say I subconsciously still "miss" them but I'm really happy I don't smoke anymore.
how did you do it i can't stop the crave
As a smoker, I thought smoking was cool but its not. Ive realized that its more cooler if you succesfully quit doing it.💯💯💯
So if you want to be really cool you have to get addicted to cigarettes and then successfully quit it.
Felix C yes, that’s the key to success
It kinda is cool though.
Dennis Canan ha you’re easily manipulated
Tatertot Warrior 😂 i quit last week
I’ve been a smoker since college days until now. Starting in 2012 so about 10 years give or take. Im currently on day 3 of quitting. I still feel urges to smoke quite a bit and noticing that I have more time on my hands. It’s a weird feeling to not smoke every chance I get. Im in the process of learning what to do with the new time on my hands and pouring it into something productive. I’ve tried quitting before but this time I’m taking it seriously. Just know if you’re struggling trying to quit I’m right there with you, but I’m already proud of myself. If you a real smoker like I was then you know how proud you are to go 1 day without, less known 3. Let’s make it to a month together🤜🏼
How’s it going x
@@iqraayub7157 31 days straight. 1 month down! The urges are still there at times but definitely starting to effect me less and less. I went cold turkey. No vape, no nothing.
I never thought I could make it this far. I’m doing my best everyday to not get overconfident. When I struggle I constantly repeat to myself “it’s never gonna be any easier to resist than right now”
Still have to be very mindful of staying away from triggers but I’m determined to make it to 6 months and see if the cravings completely vanish. I honestly feel like a slave that’s been set free.
@@BGplatinum7500 awesome bro, hows it going now?
I'm 3 and a half hours off cigarettes so far and I keep watching this video over and over for inspiration. I feel like I can already breathe better. Wild for a 30 year smoker.
How is the progress? I haven't smoke for 24h now
@@ahyo8888 you're doing great. I made it 9 days and fell off the wagon. I'm starting over. But, you succeed when you pick yourself back up for the 8th time after falling down 7. You can do it

just wanted to write the same comment lol
Congratulations to everyone in the comments who have / are in the process of quitting! You are amazing, stay strong
Yes
I try, the wierd thing is i cant sleep. Soon as i closes my eyes i get a wierd feeling in my mouth and my brain cant deal whit it, i only slept 12 hours in the 4 nights i quit smoking now.
yeaaa... i didnt have much choice. my lungs were failing so it was quit or die. makes the choice easy enough though lol
Even more props to you if you never smoked at all!
Well i try but i have coughing and panic attacks , are you sure is these symptoms gone after some days .
From 20th june 2022 to this day and counting....it's been a beautiful journey to be a non smoker....and tbh i love myself and i have such a great control on my anger now Alhamdulillah......
To the guys out there who try to quit, just think of 1 thing that you are stronger than this and you can do it because if i can do it, you also can and I've been such a looser in everything, in every way...but you know what!!!! I did quit smoking and i feel so proud when i think about it....
Do yourself a good favour and quit today...because after you quit you start to say omg!!!! Why did i even smoke at the first place....so Do It.....
I started smoking when I was 18 and im 26 now. I was a pack a day guy. It's been a month since i quit. I had been trying to quit for a year because the negative effects had begun to take its toll on me.
I resorted to eating a lot of food especially sweets to cope with withdrawal symptoms for the first two weeks. Then it got better but i still get strong urges to smoke occasionally. Smoking's been a big part of my adult life and i guess a cigarette's been there with me through every lows and highs of my life, even more than people.
I just think quiting is so difficult not only due to the physical and chemical addiction but also because you build an emotional bond with it over time.
Im gonna stay mentally strong and remember to take this one day at a time.
Whoever is reading this, My Friend, If you're trying to quit, stay strong and keep your head up because the positives immensely outweigh the negatives.
Keep it up, I try to deal with the cravings by having energy drinks (sugar free), coffee, and chocolates. It's hard but it's in the head. Join the gym, eat tasty food, play video games or watch reels. Just to feel that dopamine rush the first few weeks are going to be hard but it's worth it.
Smoked for 7 years, quit 5 months ago to focus on working out. Never felt better.
YOOOOO GOOD JOB
Proud of you man. :)
Best way to stop, get active good job
lol I work out and smoke at the same time 2x better
the greatest success that I have had was by following the Quit Smoking Crusher (i found it on google) definately the best method that I have ever tried.
I smoked for over twenty years and up to nearly two packs a day. I haven't touched one in over twelve years! Stay strong.
Great, how to?
@@catoshi. I simply quit cold turkey. The cravings were almost unbearable at times, but I wanted to quit so badly I just went with it. It took about two weeks, but after that weeks become months, months become years and so on. Today I no longer even think about it. Best of luck to you, my friend.
Congrats,
@@catoshi. for me, the first week was tough, but everyday you don't smoke, the easier it gets. After two weeks, I rarely thought about it anymore...And I was a heavy smoker.
I am trying to avoid snuffing .for the past 11 month .......I might be needing some tips from you
no joke, this video just motivated me to completely quit smoking. here goes day 1.
I loss my dad Jimmy due to cigarettes. I watched it destroy him. I'm quitting to honor him. I don't know what I was thinking hurting myself. They stink, make you sick and are expensive. Miss you Jimmy. I can do this and so can you.💝
It's not hard to quit, it's hard to not start again.
Stopped 10 years ago. There's still days where I could kill for a smoke...
100000% correct, i quit 2 years ago and still think about it daily.
I have to fight it sometimes to, i combined it with no more alcohol which to me was much easier to quit.
@@STEELCITYMATT I stopped 3 years ago, and used to crave a cigarette daily. Thankfully the craving has gone now and most days I don't even think about it. So there's hope for you too!
@@Wanderlust073 That's great you stopped, keep it up king, you can do it 👍
I quit smoking about a month ago. It truly feels great
Kelly GOOD JOB! Keep it up!😄😄😄
Kelly good for you.
awesome, 2 months for me
Me too! Keep goin ! (:
Kelly Congratulations!! I'm quitting this weekend. 😀
My one genuine regret in life.
It’s a unforgiving mistress
I smoked for 25-30 years. I got sick and didn't want to smoke. When I got better I didn't want to smoke. About 5-6 years later I had what i call "my female" trouble. Mother-in-law, e-wife and female step daughter. All at once. I started smoking again. Another 2 years later got sick again and stopped smoking. Now it's been 25 years since I smoked. Haven't been sick and got away from the rest!! :) I'm so glad I quit for good. It's amazing how much of your life is wasted because you're looking for them or having to stop everything to go outside to smoke. Waiting anxiously to get somewhere that you can smoke. So, So glad i don't anymore. Not to mention the cost ! Yikes!!
Smoked for 18 years and dropoed the habit one day and never looked back. 6 months now.
Lucky Plumber congratulations!! Hope you keep at it!!
Wow! Congratulations! :D
Lucky Plumber Hope you get better!
I stopped smoking for 8 yers. Then I started again.. now im two months chainsmoker lol.. feel great!
Borjox Bojo your slowly dying if u keep smoking
I was a light to moderate smoker for 16 years. One day i thought to myself "This is crazy", and that was it..... LITERALLY.. that was the last cigarette i smoked. It's been 6 years.
it's really stupid.
Willems Pierre What do You mean by light smoker?
How many cigs did u smoke per day?
3-5 per day.
Willems Pierre
Willems Pierre After almost 10 years of smoking my dad quit in a heartbeat when mom got pregnant and never touched one again. It's not as hard to quit as some smokers imply.
I started at 17. My then boyfriend made me try it and get on it. I smoked for 10 years and now I'm smoke free for 8 years!
But in those 10 years I tried to quit at least a hundred times. So just don't blame yourself if you couldn't do it. Don't fall in that pit of self-shaming. We are human, it happens it's absolutely normal.
🙄 I quit for a week then I started again.
🙄 I quit for 2 weeks then started again.
🙄 2 days, then back to smoke!
🙄 I quit for 2 months. Then again smoking.
🙄 I quit even for 8 months!! and then I smoked again!
Just never give up trying. Even if you are 100 years old... Even if nobody believes in you, that you can do it... Only YOU can do it. You are capable to do that. Don't punish yourself, love yourself, compliment yourself. Even if it's just some hours without cigarettes... YOU did it.
Wish you all the best!
It IS possible.
Had my last smoke 1,5 years ago, startet when i was 16 and i really regret starting this young. This video was one of the mayor reasons i could finally stop wasting my money for cancer sticks. Guys you’ve done me a solid keep up the good work

Hi! I quit smoking for 3 weeks now, the second time in my life. First time, I quit smoking for 9 months, I got back at it by smoking e-cig then rolling cig after.
This time, I quitted for my daughter. I feel so much better breathing and less tired when I walk or run to the bus. I’m quite proud, I felt like I did not need it. So I stopped smoking. I did not have much cravings just 2-3 days later after I stopped smoking. Cheers to everybody who quit smoking ❤
smoked for over 30 years, quite sept 1 2016. now having issues wifh circulation in my legs, just scheduled aortic bypass surgery to my femoral arteries in my groin that supply my legs with blood and oxygen. just saying smoking causes more damage than you may know. I recommend reading Alan Carr,s " The easy way to quit smoking" worked for me, god bless
Ken Allman believing that smoking did this is your first mistake. change everything you are doing. eating style first. you are needing to find your self healing mode.
Ken Allman God bless
Chronic smoking is a factor of poor circulation. It doesn't mean there are no other factors, but smoking definitely does not help.
Ken Allman good job bro!

Started smoking at the age of 13 and quitted at the age of 23, already in a few months I can see very positive changes and started to exercise and haven't felt this good physically ever before, these positive changes cut out the cravings completely, stay strong, you can do it because millions of people who have had the same addiction have been able to do it, you are strong!
4 days has past since I quit smoking. Wish me strength. 😊

Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Tarbbatigan Beyond Dreams Tip (do a google search)? It is a great one off guide for quitting smoking minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got astronomical results with it.
You would if u smoked for longer
Smoked 20 to 30 a day for 30 years, started to feel generally unwell, had some heart and lung issues, and a few close calls, so decided I had to quit. Went cold turkey and managed to stop smoking. 10 years later I'm still here and able to tell the tale. There's always hope, stay strong and do your best.
Very good story king
In this boat. 30 years of multiple packs a day. Sadly I already screwed myself permanently as I have early stage emphysema. Cant do much without being unable to breath. I had childhood asthma which I outgrew, and as a typical teen thought I was invincible and began smoking and the decades just flew by. I didnt realize how bad my lungs were until it was way too late. I was trying to shovel a driveway last winter and I couldnt shovel more than 1 minute without having to sit down, and even sitting it would take 5-10 minutes to catch mybreath. Little by little through the years my stamina would shrink and I just didnt pay attention until it was so bad that it was hard to not notice.
Always told myself I'd quit when I needed to or that I would notice the effect on my body and deal with it but I simply didn't notice until the damage was long done and mostly irreversible. I'll be yet another statistic in roughly 10-15 years.

I have been smoking non stop since i was 13 years old. Im 23 now. It got to the point where in the past year i suffered severe shortness of breath, thought i would die several times while laying in bed bc i just couldnt catch a breath. Had to feel my heartbeat and thought im done every second. Had another panic attack bc of my breathing 3 days ago. Haven’t smoked in 3 days now. Taking nicotinelle tablets to help stop my desire. I feel so good after only 3 days. My breathing is already better. I will quit completely this time after my last attempt failed. Im proud of myself, i dont wanna live in feat of dying so young anymore. WE can do this guys, love you! ❤
I thought I would be the exception and not get addicted, now I’m 33 and have been smoking for half my entire life. If you’re thinking of quitting/have quit then I support you and wish you all the best, if you’re a non smoker then PLEASE stay that way, I wish I had. Don’t take your health for granted folks and stay strong.
I finally quit. Took me two years . Hardest thing I ever did.i smoked for forty plus years.
Congratulations, it is very hard. Well done.
I smoked for 24 years heavily. Also 22 years daily 5x marijuana. Stopping took me 30 minutes. I was contemplating it for 20 years though. :) It was so easy to do (giving up) I couldn't believe, I still can't.
@@krisamagus1 Cool, what did you do?
Ease up you guys are too old lol I m 17 and I don’t smoke
Well done man 👍❤️
I quit smoking a couple days after I found out I was pregnant. My son is now eight years old. Best thing I ever did.
Your son still gonna have a effect/disease bc u were basically still smoking at the very start of your pregnancy,and im not sure if your being real or not because this doesn't sound legit
@@bingbong481 we are not made of sugar dude the kid is gonna be fine and why doesnt this story sound legit to u?
@@deksanapaopotami3831 if she actually quit smoking couple days after she. knew she was pregnant then she would have given a more detailed explanation and many people write fake comments like this for likes as well,unless she gives a more detail answer this is still sus.
@@bingbong481 okay doc
@@deksanapaopotami3831 yeah thats right bow down to me
Been 7 going on 8 days of no vaping let’s gooo!😮💨😮💨😮💨.
I mean it’s only been 8 days but still, I’ll come back and give y’all an update on my journey
Here after 11 months after quitting, I feel great!!
Don’t give up!!
I quit smoking and Whenever I have a craving to smoke I remind myself of this: Don't let a little cancer stick control your life! Trust me it helps.
Rami Ra not if ur a hardass addict
Rami Ra some of us sadly need more convincing......I only wish it was that easy for all.....Good on you my friend! ✌🏻
@@easy506th2 it was easy for me....i replaced smoking with intense cardio and weights. Smoking and cardio don't mix well. I have never felt better!
@JJ P everyones addictions different
Yes it does...or remember the heaviness inside your body...it is only a habit. Not something you really need
I wish smoking was never invented.
Edit: Y’know, coming back to this comment three years later has shown me how naive I was back then. Also, thank you guys for the 1.5K likes.
The radioactive gamer same the people who invented the death stick are morons
there are bigger problems in the world kid
its kind of sad really why couldn't they become rich by inventing something else that is better than death sticks :/
me 2
Ya why is smoking invented
After 20 years I want to let people know this video qas one of the things that realky helped me stop. Every time I could I watched this video and it helped alot. Thanks to whoever made it!!!
heading to 2 weeks without cigarettes and weed and not only am I starting to look good again, I feel good too. so proud of myself to be honest 🥰
I´ll quit right now.. wish me luck!
Ivan Martinez Yes, you can do it!
Update?
How are you holding up!?
Hope you're doing well. I tried to quit 100 times. Finally did 5 years ago, and it was one of the best things I could do for myself. If you made it, congratulations! It's really hard. And if you slipped, keep trying. It's really hard.
Ivan Martinez it gets better after 3 days , get over the three day hump and it's smooth sailing bud good luck
Smoked for 15 years. Just passed 2 months smoke free. It feels so great. I thought i world never be able to quit. Its truly an emotional endeavor.
Stay strong!
I'm 2 months next week. Keep it up!
I am on day 4. all the best to you
Ill be at 1 week in 12 hours, 2 months is great, keep it up!!!
You inspire us ❤️
Today, Sept 1, 2023 is my ten years without a cigarette.
I quite smoking 3 days ago still in the process and will definitely come out stronger 🙏
2 month's without smoking!!!
Edit: it's the first of January 2019 and I'm officially one year without a cigarette!!!
love y'all and all the best for 2019!! We can do it!!!
mostly masturbating.
no srsly don't search for a subtitue. do the opposite. I always took smoking a cig as sort of an a reward.. but what for? I stopped treating myself for having worked 1 hour or bravely waited for the bus for 5 minutes. I instead chewed a gum (I hate gum) and did the opposite of treating me. it's this circle. it helpes at firs but when you're really shortly b4 smoking 1.. than treat yourself. for NOT doing it. the first 2 weeks are the hardest, so you're halfway there. after that, it's ez not to. I even got drunk with my still-smoking friends and still did not want to smoke. yes. it's been harder to resist as usual, but it's still way easier to resist, than to be weak. but remember!! NEVER be weak. quitting smoking mean NEVER AGAIN.
That all sounds a lot like a help-urself-book, but I really made up my mind about this. maybe stay away from occasions, where you'll eventually get temped, for 1 or 2 weeks and after that, you're pretty much done :)
And! I gotta say, even thou I gained a lil weight (smoking stops your feel of hunger), I feel much more fit and relaxed.
You can do it and I'm very proud of you guys.
And don't stop masturbating.
Hell yeah buddy same here.
YOU'RE THE MAN!
James Tree proud of you buddy, how do you feel now? I bet you are feeling healthier and happier, good luck friend, I wish you a happy and healthy life.
I did quit myself 4 years ago after almost 10 years of smoking.
I watch this video anytime I feel like the craving of cigarettes is coming back. It's totally working!!
Jungle Julia I never have a craving for nicotine just the habit of lighting one up, would replacing tobacco with marijuana or something else help?
Daniel H yea it will
Props to you
Jungle Julia coming back??? You look like a 13 year old you shouldn't be smoking at all
FrisktheFallen Doritosforlife good point. In her pic she looks 13 but if you look closely she looks older. That's a good thing! She looks young if she if old enough to smoke
I quit smoking 4 months ago. And trust me my life has changed. You get so much closer to your family. You feel good about yourself. Whenever someone else smokes in your presence and you don't. That high triumphs any cigarette puff. I am so happy😁😁😁
I actually started smoking when i was 16 way back at highschool now im 22 thankfully i quit smoking these past 10 months and quiet frankly i felt more great the reason why i quit is because i wanted to go bodybuilding like going to the gym coz recently i got motivated by some GIGA chad CZcamsrs and im actually thankful that those motivational videos got recommended to my feed the first month was quite a struggle because i was literally craving for cigarettes but watching this video made my willpower of not smoking more stronger. im glad videos like this exist to help others, my brothers we got this. addiction is temporary we can still turn our life around and live more healthy. 💪
I started smoking when I was 15. I was a chain smoker for 8 years and when I became 23, I decided to quit smoking. It took me around 1.5 years to fully stop it. Now I am 25 and I am proud of myself that I was able to quit it.
If you want to quit smoking, your first step should be to start hating smoking and realizing that you have to quit it today or tomorrow. If I can quit it then you can do it too. Good luck
NOTE : It's March 2023 and still i dont smoke and I'm really happy that i quit
That's good advice. I'm quitting due to heath and financial trouble. Its been almost a month and I've quit cold turkey. It's hard. I al.ost gave in a few times. Honestly, the only reason I didn't give in was money. I feel better too. I take it day by day. I feel depressed though and work from home. I've gotta work on my loneliness and not use smoking to cope. Walks are helping.
I was also able to quit same way
@@thesinglechronicleswitheli2337 Go to gym. You will meet new people who cares about their body.Also, exercise helps to get rid of depression
@@faizanzeeshan5691 Nice
I just turned 25 and am trying to quit so I could use some words of encouragement. How much of your lung function has returned?
It's Hard To Stop Smoking, Mad Respect To Anyone Who Quits.
i stop smoking after 6 years ( 20-30 cigarettes per day ) and only first day was rly hard for me
fake name u would die if you did 20-30 everyday for 6 years and that means u smoked 65700 cigarettes!
Vidmaster 2000 Not true. I smoke roughly 2 packs a day too, which equals 40 cigarettes... I've been doing this for years as well and I'm writing this response to you while alive and not dead 🤔
Isaiah Garza my dad quit smoking easily last year after several years been smoking. the reason urged him to do was that looking my uncle suffered a lot from his esophageal cancer from several years drinking strong alcohol. there was nothing mattered him at the time, he didnt seem to be fighting with the withdraw. he was 50 years old and he started smoking in many years when he was so young. i think the hardness may come from your thoughts.
Isaiah Garza not hard If you have great promise like us
I will turn 30 in about a month and a half. I began smoking when I was 22. I used to smoke at least 20 sigarettes a day. Yestarday I made the big desicion, an it's been 20 hours, 50 minutes and 10 seconds since the last cigarette. The cravings and changes of mood are unbearable at times, also the feeling of emptiness, that something is missing, but I must resist. For everyone else that has just started to quit, we can do this 💪
You can do it 🤞
I haven't smoked for last 8 days. ! I am 23 yr old I used to it for 5 years still my mood swings is so high once it's end I never touch cigarettes stay healthy ✨🥰♥️ love you 3000
"after 72 hours the worst is officially over" well you obviously never tried to quit
it's different for other people
Yea, your right he didnt.
I made it 1 year and 1 well before starting back. I just could not stop thinking about it, craving it
@@idunno966 that's the thing, Idon't have a problem quiting but I go back like I never stopped cause I just adore it haha
Never smoked but I agree
today marks the day i havent smoked for 3 years!
Good job! I hope for you that you don’t have lung damage after smoking.

Congrats. I really can't wait to be there too one day.
Today is the day I haven't smoked for 12 years and 3 months.
I'm 12 years and 3 months old
Let me just say that I am SEVERELY addicted to both nicotine and weed and this video is hopefully gonna be the first step to stopping so thank you Mitch and Greg!
Me too hope you find help
2 years sober from cigarettes. 4th time quitting but did it solid for my babies this time
After 35 years of smoking, it’s been two years and nine months since I quit. Everything smells better, and I have more energy.
and money :]
And more air in your lungs good for you!
you also got a deeper voice since your lungs are free
@@moneyonmind2412 No. Smoking makes your voice "deeper". But it's because it's killing your lungs. Your voice gets clearer when you stop
3 years clean now?
The first 3 days are brutal, keep your mind occupied, workout, stay away from other smokers.
Good luck !
Thnks dude.... I hv just quit smoking some 5 hrs ago. Let's see how long do i go.
@@ruttuboje4996 hope you are going well
Yeah all my friends are smokers so itll be harder on me and kicking the hanbbit but my throat hurts all the time and i feel like a i have a neverending cold its time to quit
First month is brutal. After 18-20 days..you thought you stopped for good, then suddenly something happens, and you feels the cravings like it's day 3 again..
I quit June of 2018 and never looked back but you're right, the first 3 -5 days were horrible ✌🏻
Been Smoking for the last 7 years, but I am glad I'm making a move to quit
by your own or medical treatment?
I quit 07-06-2023. Haven’t turned back since!!! ❤️❤️❤️😎
My dad's gone a 7 months without smoking! You really can quit!
SmartCokkies Learn Congratulations! :) My mom has went a year without smoking. I’m so happy she quit.
SmartCokkies Learn my mom quit smoking her hole life I'm so happy

My 9 days without smoking so far and i felt great.
Here's one you missed:
Your kids start loving you again.
Matt Hewlett good one
Matt Hewlett daw
My dad should see this ;-;
Sophie :3 you're a piece of shit if you think that'll fix your relationship
Evan Orth but it will tho
I don't know but this video has a very comforting tone that had helped me in quitting smoking 😊 Thank You.
3 days without smoking , long way to go . All the best to everybody who's on a journey to quit smoking.
I was a heavy smoker for at least 10 years. Developed testicular cancer and lost a testicle at the age of 38. Yes, cigarettes cause more than just lung cancer.
I hope you're ok
I'm trying to kill myself without having to do it y'know, wht brand did you smoke that gave you that significant cancer?
@@xXDopamineInbalanceXx hey are you alright ? Do you need to talk ? I have depression and bpd and I know it's hard to live with but if you want to talk I'm here for you
@@xXDopamineInbalanceXx wtf man don't
@@mapuiiralte4664 No I'm fine, I didnt mean to offend anyone. I can see why that's an offensive thing to say. Shit I'm sorry.
Its been 2 hours. I woke up this morning and said to myself.... Dont go out and smoke. So I'm sitting here watching these videos hoping they help. First time really trying to quit. I got this! We all do! Wish me luck.
is it too late to wish u luck? all the best hun u can do this (im thinking of quittin on World no tobacco day this 31st)
good luck! im on my day 16 without cig!
Wow girl, 16 days... I wish I had that will power. I only went a couple days, unfortunately.... Its like I can never just not be stressed out. It makes me want to smoke when something stressful happens you know? But thank you lady's... I will try again tho! I want to quit! 😥
kimkimi hmar maybe I will try again on the 31st.. I read somewhere that setting a quit smoking date helps for some reason. Hope you're able to kick this nasty habit.
I am about 14 days but I cheated a few times, just a smoke here and there. I am so done with those smokes, screw that I'm not going to be ruled by them. Nor am I going to continue getting ripped off by the State who imposes those ridiculous taxes on smokes! Good job!
I watch this every time I think of smoking again. It helps me control myself.
On day 4 here. Cravings are less but I get very anxious and irritated still. But it’s getting better every day.
Who else holds their breath when walking past a smoker?
HappyGumDisease me
HappyGumDisease WTF,
That is really not necessary at all
ElvisPresleyVideos depends on how sensitive you are to tobacco smoke.
ElvisPresleyVideos I used to believe that if I held my breath, I wouldn't suffer from passive smoke
HappyGumDisease same, I really hate the smell of cigarette smoke.
After smoking for 50+ years at least 30 a day I was sitting in the garden having a cig when all of a sudden i decided to quit that was 16 weeks ago fill very proud of myself
How are you alive? Well done 👍Imagine the extra cash you’ll have.
@@RuthCrocker there's actually not as big of a difference as you'd think smoking 5 a day vs 20 a day according to studies.
Light smoking (5 a day) resulted in lung function loss at 68% of the rate of heavy smoking (20 a day)
www.nhs.uk/news/heart-and-lungs/even-few-cigarettes-day-worsens-lung-health/
No offence.... Medical science is a little weird sometimes
Fantastic work!
I also just stopped, its not a problem for me tho, i also stopped doing drugs like meth, weed, speed, Ecstasy and stuff around 2 Weeks ago, and i dont care at All im just chillin at home and playing Games without even thinking about it. Being addicted always depends on what type of Person you are :)
Thank you for this video it really puts perspective into quitting for good❣️
Great. Now I have more knowledge about precluding the ingestion of cannabis. Thanks!
I HAVE A BURNING QUESTION
why do I get that weird shiver up my spine when I finish peeing?????
I'm not sure if that's a normal thing
It's called ejeculation my friend.
Silvermist Art Because you just quickly released a lot of something warm, so you've been cooled, at the same time exposing usually warm parts to the cooler air.
Dan delion
Ah thank you! I've always wondered about this
Dan delion - that's not true at all. just because you lose something hot, your body temperature does not decrease. you are not gaining something cold. you are not losing heat form your body.
57 days without cigarettes ( been smoking for last 2 years)...
Almost the same!
good luck!
congratulations, man!! I'm trying to get in this journey.. thank you for the inspiration!
U still in the marathon? M on 32. 💪
69 days without cigarette
6 months and standing strong!
I’m 33 After 14 years Smoking 2 packs a day. Date 5️⃣ No smoking
Sitting here smoking thinking, "yeah this all makes sense I'll quit tomorrow"
Tomorrow..
I only smoke one pack of citrate from Friday evening to Sunday evening and then I stop for 5 days and do the same again. I don't find quitting smoking is that difficult. I can quit smoking anytime.
Godless Society. But that’s not quitting it’s just cutting down on how much you smoke. Your body is still getting the nicotine
@@drsatan1653 People said it's hard to stop, but I can sometimes I can go for months without having a single cigarette.
@Thot Patrol USA Haha, now I planed to stop smoking anyways, it's not hard for me anyways I guess. I will reply you after a year, if I don't contract Covid19 and die. hahah
i hope you did it!
Been almost 5 months since I quit and I can say the hardest part is having a conversation with yourself everytime you leave the house to convincing yourself that you don't need cigs anymore.
Sounds like somebody's about to relapse!
@@tupakkaonhyvaa haha not the case this time friend
@@jasondsilva880 Nice 👍
Same thing with me. Its been like one and a half months since I quit smoking and I do get sometimes the same thought of buying a pack of cigs and convincing myself that I dont need it and I am strong enough to finally quit.
After the first few days you are done with the physical needs. Then it's just a stupid habit. The absence of the logistics of being in supply is one of the things I like the most. No checking before the store closes. Nothing before I go somewhere. Just leave. I'm free.
Been smoking for 15 years. Stopped 3 days ago. Ill never go back Im doing totally fine
I quit about a month ago now. The hardest part for me is I'm almost always tired no matter how much I sleep.
Just over 6 months of going cold turkey after smoking for 17 years and I feel excellent. I'll never go back to lighting one up again.
Way to go!
nice, still clean?
OzSimRacing don't worry I was like you 14 years ago Best decision I ever made .
Buy lots of them then burn them all in a fire so you know you will never go back
^ thats a pretty stupid way to waste money
6 months tobacco free. Smoked 22 yrs . Pack and a half a day . I feel like a new person . One of the best things ive ever done in my life. Total life changer. If your in the process of quitting stick with it. In the long run its well worth it.
Isn’t that like a cig every half an hour? I couldn’t smoke a full pack if I tried
How are you today
@@changi8754 I smoked for 30+ yrs,,,2+ packs a day One day I woke up and dint like it anymore,,, By the end of that day i made up my mind and quit cold turkey,,,Never looked back,,,That was 8 + yrs ago
Great job
So proud of you! You got this!
26 years and I've enjoyed every one
Started at 11, stopped at 22. 27 now and couldn’t be more proud. One of the hardest things I’ve done but I’m happy now that it’s done, and that’s what you have to remember is that there is an end point.
You WILL feel better after feeling bad now as that is the sacrifice. CBD no nic cigarettes and CBD vapes helped a ton, cold turkey on nic otherwise.
