Even on her death bed Terrie fought against smoking. RIP

If these ads do NOT convince teenagers to quit smoking, I do not know what will!

Terrie continues to inspire and save lives.

If that voice and that puffing noise don't convince you not to smoke, nothing can.

"I wish I had never seen a cigarette." now that's really strong sentence that sentence accumulate from decades of regrets and sorrow

She was so beautiful at 20 :(

Best way, this scares the crap out of me, don’t tell people show them! Good work Terri, you helped me quit too. In memory of a true hero.

Did she not look terrible? I feel so bad for her only 53

RIP Terrie. I quit smoking 6 months ago. Thanks to people like Terrie i quit from my adiction.

I am so happy I quit smoking. Almost 2 years. If this doesn’t convince someone to stop smoking, I don’t know what will.

"Much less picked it up and smoked it." These ads are heartbreaking. If only my father could pay attention to them.

I still remember terrie's psa 7 years ago. Im sad she passed away

This hit me very hard. I'm stopping smoking. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that suffering.

We must end smoking because it may think it makes people cool but it messes them up more Like if u agree

rip terrie youre legacy lives on!

Even so many years after her death, it just keeps breaking my heart seeing her like that. My tears just won't stop falling watching these videos...

At 20,she was such a happy person and so beautiful woman.

As a young teen, this video is scary to me, not because *I* smoke, but because both my parents smoke

These scared me as a kid and they worked extremely well

This was supposed to make viewers scared straight in order to prevent smoking

I saw this commercial about 7 years ago. It scared the shit out of little me. Today was the first day I’ve seen her face since. I’m proud of this advertisement for actually helping kids like me not to smoke

I used to smoke before too but thank god I got away from this filthy thing I will not ever smoke again and I’m 15 now

One of the most powerful commercials I’ve ever seen

I see this on TV about every morning, quit smoking now.

Just got the news my best friend and grandma has stage 4 lung cancer. Threw my cigarettes in the trash. The pain I’m feeling from knowing I may lose her is the worst. I dont want to put my kids through the same pain. I will NEVER smoke again.

I was convinced at a perfect timing, thank god I stopped at 23 years of age before things got even worse.

Thank you Terrie for spreading the word on the dangers of cigarette smoking! Many people underestimate the risks. Your courage is greatly admired, and this message will save many lives. Thanks to you, people who smoke will seriously consider quitting and for those who never smoked, they will hopefully never start.

May your lungs feel better in heaven! :)

this is gr8. really effective. & short, linking to positive affirmation that one can quit: really good. i dont want to just be snarky on the internet all the time after all.

I quit smoking in 2007 after vowing I’d give it up before I turned 40. I made it and stopped by age 39, but it took multiple tries. It still scares me how much damage I probably did in that 20 year period. Seeing Terrie’s ads a few years later certainly convinced me I made the right choice.

I watch videos like this when I get the urge to smoke. I am almost 3 weeks into quitting and so far it really helps !

As terrible as I feel for Terrie and her family, I'm so grateful and feel so blessed that i in all my 28 years of life have never smoked a cigarette and never intend to. I heard once you start it's hard as hell to quit and i don't want to go anywhere near that route.

Rest In Peace Terrie I am so sorry what happened to you :(

I quit in 2007 after 25 years.

The cancer literally ate Terrie alive. My smoking dad made it to 65 without looking that way but those last five years of hardly being able to breathe was pure hell.

Girls talk in higher pitch when they're around someone they like Girls around me :

My poor kids have to wake up to this commercial every night in the middle of the night...crying

As someone who is too young to smoke, I can say this scared me off for life. No way I'm ever touching a cigarette in my life

Most powerful ad I've ever seen.

Terrie is a hero. For all of us. ❤❤❤❤ we miss you Terrie. 😢

I never saw this one before and this is my first time seeing it .

About time this footage was released

Okay this did actually helped me to quit vaping, and smoking.

Why cigarettes are legal?

holy smokes the hands free device makes the video so much better

Why the hell do people pick up this deadly habit?! It’s disgusting and definitely not “cool” 🤢👎🏽

R.I.P Terrie Hall 1960/2013

I see this add on tv & it makes me cry everytime... R.I.P Ms Terrie 💔

When I was quiting smoking 2 years ago I would watch these ads and stories every time I had a craving. I smoked for 13 years and been smoke free 2 years now. I can't stand the smell of them now

She was 53 :(

I gave it up for my birthday over 36 years ago..glad I did!! You can too.

I’m 18 hours without a cigarette. This is hard.

Thank you CDC for scaring youngsters to show how bad smoking can be. Unfortunately vaping is the new problem these days, perhaps a tip from a former vape smoker will get teens attention

100,000 people die every year from lung cancer. Beautiful soul❤🕊️🙏R.I. P. Terrie. Let’s put those tobacco factories/companies out of business for good by quitting.

Diagnosing and education on tongue/oropharyngeal cancers have improved. I am not advocating smoking, but rather trying to educate with updated information on virus-related cancer. Cancers in this area of the body are often caused by tobacco and alcohol, but recent studies show that about 70% of oropharyngeal cancers may be caused by HPV-16, a virus, per the CDC. There is a vaccine for HPV, Gardasil.

I'm sorry. I know this is serious, but... but come on. What percentage of smokers turn out like this?

Its crazy i used to see this commercial on tv and still proceeded to becoming a smoker.

Love you Terrie

Her death served an example to many, her story ironically saved many lives.

This is so scary it almost doesn’t seem real. Stuff like this keeps me sober.

4 months and 2 weeks free , i feel great

I showed my dad this and he went outside for a cigarette

My 47 year old brother has lung cancer from cigarettes

This ad still haunts me. Rest in Peace, Terrie. Thank you for campaigning tirelessly and for using your story to condemn these horrible, life-ruining sticks of cancer.

I quit 5 years ago and im so glad i did. Every single aspect of my life turned out better ever since, if youre considering, do it rn it can only do good for you.

😭 I feel so bad

I remember seeing this on tv and it scaring the crap out of me. But I will never pick up a cigarette in my life, much less smoke it.

Smoking is a horrible thing oh my gawd.

20 year old Terrie 😍

This brought me to cry...

RIP Terrie hall

Now this is a real ad and unique showing how scary it is and the impact it places in people's mind. Ads nowadays make no sense showing you monsters and teenagers exaggerately freaking out in an abandoned school or something kind of like a movie. Smoking isn't a video game or a movie it's the real deal that can harm you and kill you.

you know who really did this? The tobacco companies. My father used to say; "Oh everyone smoked in the 1800's and cancer was almost unknown, it's all the vehicles that cause cancer." He died 20 years ago after his 2nd heart attack. Mother died 12 years ago from COPD. Both heavy smokers, dad hand roll, mum tailor mades. A few months ago I was digging in my garden and I found some old pieces of clay pipes from the 1800-early 1900's. I saw why the smokers back then didn't get half the smoking related diseases we get now, the hole in the pipe stem was a sewing needle size, and the bowl held about a teaspoon of tobacco. Now, cigarettes today are ten times the size and if you hand roll the papers allow you to build a large smoke. Just like the toothpaste company who doubles profit by doubling the size of the hole in the tube, tobacco companies made cigarettes bigger and bigger so you got more of that good old addictive smoke in you, and then they turned it from something you did at the end of the day with a pint of beer, probably a todays cigarette worth smoked all day to being something you did from the moment you woke up until you went to bed. It's true no-one forces you to smoke, but the advertising back in the 60's-70's made fairly certain most people did.

Terrie continues to inspire so many people's lives

That voice but she was Beautiful And looked like a lovly person

I can see her a million times. I'm still addicted. I still can't stop. No medicine or anything helps me. The crisis that comes on when I try is unbearable. Poor Terrie. I wish people knew it is important not to start. Don't start smoking becsuse you might not be able to quit.

Oh the things we DO TO OUR SELVES..........

Rest easy beautiful lady ♥️

You’re not going to watch this part.

This is heartbreaking.

They don't show these commercial nomore

RIP Terrie.

I am 2 months smoke free. I watch this video anytime I crave a cigarette...

It's an absolutely horrible addiction, I've been doing it since I was 14 and I'm 60. I've tried 1 million times to quit and can't. The first thing I did when I saw this was go out and have a cigarette. Maybe it'll keep the younger people from starting, because when I grew up, the tobacco companies were playing games with the nicotine so I've been a two pack a day smoker for over 40 years. Three when I was drinking

Rest In Peace and fly high Terrie you really helped me not to start smoking in the future😭😭😭😢😢😢😥😥😥🥺🥺🥺

I was listening to a voicemail when this auto played and I was scared so much lol

When these commercials came on i was so scared because how they sound

Smoking makes you wiser...and remember, you will all quit smoking one way or another... I quit smoking 3 hours ago and I feel great...time for a beer!!!

This made me stop smoking and I have never smoked before 😳

I just saw this commercial on tv. This has to be the saddest... Please guys do NOT smoke :'(

This gave me chills. I hope I still remember her tomorrow when I will want to lit my morning cigarette.

Rip Terrie you will be missed

I Have Never Smoked a Single Day in My Life... and as a Matter of Fact, I Don't Even Want to Start

I don’t get why vaping or smoking is popular because yeah, you might get like five seconds of relief but all the negatives that you’re doing to your body it’s not worth it

This poor woman I feel so sorry for her may she rest in peace

Oh my gosh that hurts my heart to see this video. So sad

That.was. insane.

I tried a cigarette for the first time and I DID NOT like it. I swore on my life, my dreams and everything I love, I will NEVER smoke a cigarette. To this day, I still hate cigarettes.

The wheels on the busbgo round and round 💀

My mother has smoke since she was 14 years old, and now she’s 49 and still smoking😭💔
