    Videos of people like this are worth there weight in gold when your quitting cigs and then trying to live without them when you’ve quit, because the urge weakens over time but it never goes away, I stopped nine years ago, smoked for twenty years.

      alda schinaia it’s all a toss up. For the majority that smoke cigarettes and never stop, you’ll die in your 60’s or 70’s from some heart or lung related ailment. Only a very few die in their 40’s of lung cancer or live past their 80’s as lifelong smokers. Truth!

    I used to cadge cigarettes for a couple of years as a student. I'm glad my grandfather, father and I stopped. Grandpa choked on a cigarette while shaving in 1954, stopped smoking and lived 60 more years!

    A high school buddy smoked underage and said it relaxed him. Surely he could have chosen non toxic relaxation.

  • @jondstewart
    @jondstewart Před 4 lety +1

    The reality is that most cigarette smokers die in their 60’s or 70’s, usually from heart disease or emphysema. If you die in your 40’s from lung cancer, you are extremely unlucky and have bad genetics. And if you’re a chain smoker that smoked Camel’s or Pall Mall’s for more than 50 years and make it to your 80’s, you’re more than a tough cookie! You’re the epitome of endurance and strength!

    She is like a preacher preaching the word of God!!! Barb Tarbox went to schools sending a message to kids all around schools!!!!!!! telling them Please don't smoke!!!!!!!! i thank God to this very day that i am a non smoker!!!!!! i have seen results of what smoking does to a person!!!!! and it's scary!!!!!!!! i have met people who are called laryngectomy's and to anyone who doesn't know what a laryngectomy is. a laryngectomy is someone be it man or woman who has had his or her voice box taken out due to cancer. and they breathe through a hole in their neck called a stoma. and they speak with what is called a artificial larynx. a artificial larynx is a speech aid that helps people who have had their voice box taken out speak. the person puts the unit up to their neck or under their chin they press a button and the unit produces a steady buzzing like robot sound so they can speak.
