I was addicted to heroin and fetynol for 8 years and i was addicted to cigarettes for 21 years. Quitting smoking was so much harder. I was a bad addict. It took medication for both. I used methadone for the opiates amd nicotine patches for the cigarettes. It was the only way i could get any meaningful time away from using innorder to even stert seeing any positives from not. Cold turkey aimt for everyone and harm reduction can work. Be compassionate with yourself when need be. Someday you'll just be living your life life and it will dawn on you that you don't smoke anymore and you dont think about it anymore.

very kind man, this kindness is helping me today, I did not see anybody else feeling empathy to poor smokers

Thank you sir… as of today I’m DONE. It was the way he spoke that just hit different from anyone I have ever listened to. Please wish me luck.

"Step away from the situation, take a couple of deep breaths, and think about the situation." Thank you so much. I will remember to practice this!

Day 2 here after 20 years of chain smoking

I've finally decided to quit today. It's time to stop. I'm going to do this!

Day 1 here. I believe I can stop smoking, I just have make a commitment. Thank you

1 week no smoking

I quit 22 days ago cold turkey 🥶 🦃!!! so happy!!!

i'm in my 4th day and i feel like my cells thanking me and yelling at me at the same time. I feel as there is another person within me dying to go to the shop and asking for a pack. The simple buying of cigarettes is so appealing to me it hurts. I envision all the steps necessary for the purchasing of a pack of cigarettes. The idea of buying and coming back home to have a smoke (or 5) with coffee seems incredibly attractive. The idea of having smoke in my mouth and going into my lungs seems like "A BREATH OF FRESH AIR". Now THAT'S sabotage... On the other hand, i know that after the first puff the level of disappointment would go through the roof, there won't be any fresh air but clogged arteries and risk of cancer. There won't be any peace but anxiety. There won't be joy but sadness and a constant reminder of weakness and subjugation. Seeing my beautiful supportive wife, which understands me even if i relapsed 100 times is even more saddening. Waking up coughing like mad and spitting brown goo that could be used as glue isn't a pretty sight at all. The past weekend i stopped and it was such a peculiar weekend that felt to me like a completely different world. I've stopped before for more than 4 days (i think i went 3 weeks or so) but it was never like this. This weekend i did basically nothing but watch movies with my wife. It was like i was drugged, i felt so happy to just stay near my wife and talk about what we were looking at. Just wanted to share. My body and my brain are dumb. They crave this poison like mad and i feel that this time it's different. To everyone going remotely through this, i wish you fortitude of mind, reason, logic and power! Luck won't help you.

Allen Carr - Easyway to quit smoking ❤

Banda, I have to tell that I'm done smoking weed, it is hurting my memory so bad, I really need to quit and yes, Indeed, I think I can't, my friends also makes me feel a little bit pushed to smoke wherever we are. And I tell once to my family but I think they won't help me. Leftbehinded. But I have a Spark that will lead me to the success of being a healthy person, I will overcome this addiction for God sake

I have smoked for some forty years and just had my first stint put in, I have another one scheduled in five days. I threw my cigarettes in the garbage last night and dug them out this morning and soaked the rest in water before throwing them away again. Good God Almighty…, I hope and pray that the medical field gets the message about how much they’re misdirected solutions are accountable to the people that are trusting them with their very lives…, get it right Doctors or stop enabling us to harm ourselves at the very least…, Please

I’m 29 today started abusing nicotine at the age of 10 year old ✌️ And I won’t give up quitting smoking Stay positive ❤

Stress is the main trigger, for many. Don't plan to quit when you have a anticipated stressful event coming up. Put yourself in a strong position to succeed.

I failed more times than I can remember, I'm free now but we're never completely free from addiction, we're on probation for the rest of our lives.

Already 3 months cigarettes free I have used electric cigarette for quitting 1st week 18 mg nicotine capsules 2nd week 12 mg nicotine capsules 3rd week 9 mg 4th week 2.5 mg nicotine capsules mixing with 0 mg nicotine capsules week 5 only 0 mg nicotine capsules I have even stopped electric cigarette I think this is the best way for quitting Because I have smoked for 16 years and tried many times to quit but never made it more than 2 days But now I am feeling great better than what I have expected.

People who took their first cigarette and felt horrible never become smokers .I was seventeen and I LOVED it .and smoked ever since I think I'll stop just to feel victorious over the addiction .

Its my 3rd day without smoking now. Its not easy but eventually it will get better i hope

Thank you This is day 2 of quitting for me of quitting chewing.

Classy people. There is tons of compassion emanating from these people. Thank you so much. Elegant and lovely, but so easy to watch and easy to understand. Thank you so much! Very informative and helpful.

Iam quiting I don’t want to die sooner that was motivational

I know now who I'm because of smoking. Today is very powerful to decide

To the public I smoked for 65 years I give up smoking through using vaping equipment I enjoy the flavours and I think that anyone that smokes it wishes to give it up should take up vaping it help me I Quit when I turn 68 and now I've stopped for 4 months thank you

Thanks professor!! It’s really helpful to quiet smoking

Great interview!!!!

Congratulations on your "Speak Your Mind - How To Quit Smoking When You Believe You Can't" inspirational thanks for sharing. 🚭

Thank you SO much for this video. I have had so much guilt for smoking. I dont smoke anymore, but still using a vape. Knowing that the nicotine itself wont hurt me...is a huge relief...and believe it or not, that guilt being lifted off of me is giving me hope that I can now quit. Feeling constant condemnation has not helped the problem. Thanks again. I just had a lung x-ray and believe it or not...my lungs look good. I smoked for 48 yrs. My Mom, smoked all through her pregnancy during the 60's and maybe that is the " womb connection" maybe when I smoke, ot makes me feel close to my Mom? Or the womb. Hmmmm interesting realization I just had. My Mom was not very huggy either. Sorry for the novel.

I have hope again thanks to this episode 🎉❤ Tomorrow will be day 1 for me AGAIN. The hundredth time is the charm😅😢

This is neat. Thanks.

I love her spirit

this was very manner useful-2 people calmly discussing and framing in a down to earth manner thank you

Thank you

Thankyou so much

Thank u. I quit today

I'm done today

This interviewer is really good

I have mental health issues and I'm on day 2 of quiting still smoking weed pure as it's not as harmful as tobbaco and it helps me with my mental health were tobbaco dose not it makes me depressed

The mindfulness book "30 Days to Quit Smoking" by Harper Daniels is good.

I've been smoking 49 years now how can I stop

I am on day 3 of going Cold Turkey. I tried many times before, but never ‘Cold Turkey’

I may have to admit to my mental illness.. whatever it maybe & quit smoking.🙏

I've been at this now going on 55 years. I had stopped completely for about 6 months, but temptation is always looming in the background. I have been a smoker now for close to 55 years and it's not getting any easier. The problem is old movies and everyone smoking in the movies. I'm down to about 2 cigarettes a day, but the movies are always telling me one more won't kill me. I have come to the conclusion that I AM going to die and no amount of not smoking is going to change that. I'd kind of like to be able to dictate the time I'm going to die, but that smacks of the notion of suicide. I've been the caregiver of three different elderly non-smokers who all died and lived pretty miserable lives beyond 65.. I'm thinking that if I make it to 70 or so I'll have done pretty darn good.

Day 1 , I am a non smoker

This video is making me want to smoke..

I quit for 60 days then i have insomnia and depression very bad so now im on nicotine patch for my brain

Why don't they get rid of smokes all together in shops

God can deliver too and more importantly. I tried to listen to this. The stigma is huge and starts with the educated offendable 300 dollar an hour humble servant.

Outlaw the damn thing stop making them problem solved

Die from cigrate is not a problem but the life we suffer because of cigrate in health is main problem so till u live live healthly

I’m quitting toDAY!

I feel like i was hooked on like the 3rd cigarette. Sort of blame my mom for smoking while pregnant, i fully believe she gave birth to basically an ex smoker that was already primed for the addiction. Not to throw her under the bus just fyi if your a pregnant woman you may be damning your child to it. Finally ready to quit after 20+years and all the bastard taxes they put on it, nothing has been taxed like it, and its fkd because it truly is the hardest to quit and the government can just rake in money from addicts and the general public actually agrees with that. They dont tax the tobacco manufacturers Just the users.

I was standing outside smoking while it was -12 degrees and i realized im retarded and need to stop thats while i was halfway through this video

Save this 9:15

Just take an anti depression tablet stuff the cigs. Dopamine addiction. That's the problem.

Hard not to troll you guys but I’m shutting up

911 likes on this video as I'm watching it. I think it's a sign 😅

Day 40 after 18 years smoking

This woman's questions are so long & convoluted, I don't know what she's babbling about. Hot tip: mute the woman but listen to the dude. She can't string a sentence together.

BS on Chantix! I'm living proof! I freeeaaked TF out on it!

20 snouts a day.

This interview is so boring... This guy is putting me to sleep....zzz

Enjoyed the interview. However, you lost me when you talked about the study....due to personal experience, they just want the warning taken off and the study is false information

Side effects of chantix Shortness of breath Xerostomia Nausea Trouble Sleeping Abnormal dreams Chest pain Seizures Difficulty concentrating Gas Headache Sleepwalking Rash with peeling skin Serious skin reactions Allergic reactions Blurred vision Cardiovascular events Constipation Dizziness Depression Increased appetite Skin rash Sweating Abdominal pain Anxiety Varenicline is substantially excreted by the kidney, and the risk of toxic reactions to this drug may be greater in patients with impaired renal function. (This means chantix will harm the kidneys, however if you have renal rfailure it will hurt them more) the risk of cardiovascular events associated with the use of varenicline is judged to be minimal and clinically insignificant (insignificant to who?) (Does this mean I should gambel with my life because it says minimal?) Contact your healthcare professional if you experience new or worsening symptoms of cardiovascular disease while taking Chantix, for example: Shortness of breath or trouble breathing. New or worsening chest pain. New or worse pain in legs when walking. 🤔🤨 Why would anyome want to take something proven to damage vital origins? Why would trust someone who practices everyday because they don't know what they are doing but think they do? Why would you not trust your creator and wash your body out with herbs and foods which have no negative side effects on the body? Today is 7/6/24 My husband was in the hospital about a month ago due to an infection and gave the hospital permission to damage all his vital origins with 2 antibiotics because the dr said it could happen doesn’t mean it will.🤔🤨 Drugs damaged my husband origins, his origing were made worse with drugs said to help. His kidneys were at 30% when intering the hospital, the antibiotics took them to 11%. We left the hospital now I am helping him 100% natural with food and herbs. The entire medical system was set up to depopulate the world. 😡🤬 It is definitely working.

Thank you
