He didn’t own anything. He was owned by the addiction which made him smoke and the cancer that killed him.

yes way to go Sammy own that cancer !....from smoking

Quality not quantity .

@@dennishuyvaert1416 That's actually a pretty good way of putting it! 👍

That's true. There's no point in making it safely into a grave. I always tell people, I'd hate to eat salads and stay " safe" just to end up dead anyway.

All you have is now and it can be beautiful if you want it to be. Every generation has its ups and downs. Sammy faced WAY more racism in his day then he would now for example. All you have is now, its all there is. Trying to live or wanting to live in another time is a refutation of your own existence. If now sucks its 100 percent on you, you decided it sucks and that is 100 percent of the reason. Someone elses percieved shortcomnings don't affect your joy, yours do. The past must be dragged up, the future must be surmised. The present is just here, effortlessly. Stay in it without resistance. All you have is now. don't waste it on an illusion of the past.

@@supraphonic8143​​⁠​​⁠I get what you’re getting at, but I think you misinterpreted what he said as a pipe dream or a longing to live in another time and experience. He didnt mean that, he basically only said he’d rather be a fun lovin warrior and go out on his shield at peak than be a sad and miserable little ninny gnawing at everyone’s ankles until he’s 90. It was only a scenario he put forward, one era vs the present. That 60s era could’ve been any other era that he either lived through, or heard reflected some of his values better than what we got today. Racism aside, Sammys era and generation was just one of those that sat well with him.

Cool story bro

Good for you.

That’s the day you grow up , before that it’s just reckless living

👍

I smoked a pack a day for 10 years, loved smoking. I decided to quit and simply never bought another pack. It wasn't hard at all . I do sympathize with people who struggle with quitting .

Awesome! Congrats!

Bupropion did the trick for me (generic for Well-butrin) just $23 through a free discount card for 3 months. 3 weeks is better, but different solutions work for different people. It worked really well though; that was over 2 years ago and I see people smoking in their cars and such now and I can't imagine it.

I wish that worked for me. I was still craving cigarettes and smoking while on it, eventually had to stop taking it.

Funny how a man in his 50's describes how electronic cigarettes saved his life after Chantix almost killed him with wild mood swings and panic attacks. So it all depends on who you talk to. One year of vaping (first with nicotine and now without) and this man's pink skin has returned and his cough is gone. Again, Chantix almost killed him.

Same here man,smoke free since August 24th 2017. I also used Chantix, thank goodness we got it before they took it off the market

Give it hell Barnee.

Did you eat bad ? Just wondering, I know sometimes genetics can play a roll in clogged arteries, but you had a lot of clogged arteries … What was your diet like over the years ?

@@funkyflights my diet was/is pretty horrible… not terribly overweight, about 20-30 over, starting after high school. McDonalds, sometimes 3 times a day, nearly a gallon of full sugar Coke a day in the summer, about 2 liters a day in the winter. I quit the sugar drinks in favor of diet drinks in 2005. Had my first heart attack in 2010, waited a week before driving to the hospital. Dumb, i know, but no insurance. On that night also diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, and very high cholesterol (3 major contributors to heart attacks), …1 stent. Had my second last February. Waited a month before driving to the hospital. Dumb again, I know…. Open heart, quad bypass. Currently homeless, this will probably be the end of the road, especially because of food choices. I hope all the good people of the world make better choices, and take care of their health. One thing I sadly notice is all the people who pile their kids in the car and drive them to eat fast food, when they can make something healthy, and better tasting, at home. Many of the kids are already way overweight…. To me, that’s child abuse. Best of luck to everyone, take care.

I ,m 65. Smoke at least a pack a day for 50 years, did every drug you can think of, drink a 6 pack just for breakfast, and never had a health problem ever. ….go figure

@@terrymckenzie8786 Obviously, you're a professional. It's on again, off again, wishey washey, and failed quitters that give the hobby a bad name

Ahhhh, great memories...being 19 (1983) I worked as an usher at the Orpheum theater in San Francisco...must have seen Mr. Brynner in The King and I a countless number of times...it was a surreal experience...I regret not appreciating it as much as I should have at the time...he died a few years later, and it was unbelievable to think that somebody with that level of vigor could ever be slowed down. RIP Mr Brynner.

Double that 20 and you’ll be closer

He still hasn't found the water chip.

Lol even the CNN logo was yellow I thought it was a part of his jacket lmao

😂😂 "is one hell of a drug" -Rick James

Actually it’s mixing the alcohol and cocaine that makes it real worse. Alcohol is the bad one

@@emeyeare Why I don't touch either, over 40 and have women in their late 20's early 30's getting in bed with me because their exes or lazy overweight husbands can't perform anymore.

@@emeyeare Sure, cocaine isn't the bad one. It just shortens users lives by 10 years.

@@RH-cv1rgbut it makes you feel good. Quality over quantity!

Nice gossip

This never happened....

Life is only for a while some live long some go soon you have a ticket that's been punch when you were born see ya 🤔🤔🤔

Truth

Great and very funny movie!

You can do it man. I smoked for 35 years and was up to 2 packs a day. I quit on my 50th birthday. That was 15 years ago. You've just really got to want to quit. Find some motivation. And once you get on a roll stick with it. You'll find that the longer you last the less you'll crave it. I laugh at myself now that I was hooked on the damn things in the first place!!! Plus when I first started cigarettes were 40 cents a pack. Its crazy how much they cost now. Damned if I'm gonna help big tobacco with their profits

many say they quit but they're actually vaping now.

@@Lambert58-v9i not a fan of the vape. Hurts my lungs

I did that a thousand times, never worked. Only thing that worked was switching to vape completely, even though it sucked in comparison. I vaped 10 months, began having asthma like symptoms from the vape, quit that switched to nicotine pouches, no tobacco, just nicotine. Smoked 38 years, quit 29 months ago.

1 pack every day and a half for about 40 years. Quit 8 years ago. I have COPD and I use 2 inhalers. Walking a distance of about 40 feet leaves me winded. Mornings are the hardest because I take the inhalers and wait for my lungs to clear and expand. It's a progressive disease and I know in about 5 years or so I'll be carrying around portable oxygen. But like Sammy I enjoyed it, and I was well aware of what I was doing and the consequences. In one way I'm extremely lucky I didn't develop lung cancer and I get a lung scan every year and for the past 8 I've been clean. On the other hand, slowly suffocating and not being able to walk a distance, climb stairs or do yard work is lousy. Quit while you're ahead. I did it cold turkey, but it was RSV that hospitalized me 4 days, gasping for breath and taking breathing treatments to finally stop.

Yesss that's on KZfaq 😂 he loved himself some MJ and MJ the same 😂. Two phenomenal entertainers ❤

S.D. was into Satan.

@@timcarr6401even better then!

@@FlatOutMatt The miseries of Hell isn't better than anything.

Maybe he really needed a smoke break. Lol

64? looked about 84 in this video.

@@joelanderos23 Yes, smoking, drinking and drugs can really take their toll: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Davis_Jr.

Yes I lite an incense every one in a while over a wet sink and it gives you that effect

and a dead smoker...everyone dont smoke

Davis was only 65 when he died so he wasn't really old just very sick, and he was only 8 years older than King.

@@baronvonnembles he looks 165

@@purefoldnz3070 Well, he looks like that because the throat cancer was eating him alive by that time.

@@retroguy9494 plus all the smoking and drinking and cocaine.

@@purefoldnz3070 Well, that certainly didn't help him any. However, he didn't look anywhere NEAR this bad until the cancer. He actually looked pretty good until the throat cancer. It aged him very rapidly.

To think she could have enjoyed a mere two packs a day and lived to 106 puts the risk/reward paradox entirely into perspective. It's a gentle goddamned balance. RIP.

720 mins of a day being awake 16 hours 4 packs is 480 mins of cigarette smoking . Did she not use her hands ?

Hope she didn't live in Australia. That's a $1400 a week habit right there. You better believe it.

not at all.

I think you mean Bob hope

@@lumpylumpyloo,what?

@@robertrothberg8678 bob hope

i wouldnt go that far

Im off 'em ten years now, and mostly dont think of them, thank god. But yeah, there's still times the old craving hits me, and when Sammy mentioned the morning coffee w/cigarette, oh boy, thats one for sure.

I stopped 10 years ago cold turkey. Still crave them. If the surgeon general would say smoking is not bad for you at all, I would run not walk and buy a pack!

2 packs a day is intense! Even at my worst, I was never more than half a pack a day. Even half a pack is too much. I quit for years at a time, then go back for a few months and quit again. I cut back on drinking to bi monthly, so maybe just smoke a few bi monthly lol.

I admit, I really enjoyed smoking. People used to ask me 'I'll bet you wish you could quit' or 'do you want to quit?' I'd say...no way..I LOVE to smoke and I wanted to since I was 5 years old! After I finally DID quit 8 years ago and well into my 50's people would ask me 'I'll bet you feel SO much better now, don't you?" And I'd respond 'hell NO....I feel worse now than I ever did in my life.' Which is true!

my great grandma used to have a fancy cigarette box on her side table next to her tv chair. she would only smoke 2 in the evening while watching tv after a day of chores. i still cannot quit my evening smoke. its impossible.

Bro… three packs? I smoke and that’s incomprehensible to me. Id feel sick after that many, didn’t your throat hurt all the time? three packs a day is like smoking one every 5 minutes!

“Some times those guys most have had, huh?”

@@rockolutheran I was a field tech and had a cancer stick in my mouth every opportunity I had. I literally owe my life to Sammy.

Did you lay the Jack Daniels down too?

@@andrewfike4290 I pretty much gave up drinking when I left the service. Just a couple of months ago, I even gave up beer because of kidney issues.

@@ericgrafton652 .......poor Sammy...he was pretty much "used" his entire life.

and now you have a different cancer

Good one. We're all here for a short stay. The world has lost its rocker so laugh every day and enjoy life.

I think Larry smoked cigars on a regular basis

@@davemustaki134 And cigarettes.
