The second smartest thing I did on my wedding day (almost 43 years ago now) was to quit my pack a day cigarette habit as a wedding gift to my non-smoking wife. I've never regretted doing either thing.
@@kelseykaye7269 While I condemn smokers of tobacco in the strongest possible terms, I also applaud those who've had the strength to quit. Addiction is a monster. Good on you :)
@@kelseykaye7269 That's love. Brava. While I still smoked, I cared for my mother while she died of emphysema, still smoking cigarettes herself. My sister recently died, admittedly after a full life, but she blamed her early smoking for the destruction of her lungs in later life. My father died before I could know him. Yes, from smoking (heart attack).
Mom took years to quit smoking (Dad did it cold turkey). She took classes, chewed gum and even underwent hypnosis. None of it worked. She went to work in a hospital and saw the difference between a healthy lung and a smoker’s lung (perhaps cancerous). She stopped smoking that day. That was around 40 years ago… she’s 92 now.
@@hazelparr8461 That might work for lots of things. I once told my teenaged daughter not to do something and why. She did it anyway and, surprise, she reaped the consequences. When I asked why she did it, she told me she thought I was just trying to scare her. I responded, yes, I was trying to scare her, but I was also telling her fact. They aren’t mutually exclusive. Teens think they’re invincible, so you’re right, seeing some unpleasant realities might help.
Growing up there were 8 of us that smoked cigarettes, right along with our parents. I quit 45 years ago, before I had any health issues from smoking. Both of my parents died from heart problems, 2 siblings died from copd and 2 died from lung cancer and 2 died from other illnesses. That leaves 2 of us. It was sad watching my family die from something that could have been avoided. Thanks for sharing what smoking does to our bodies. Hopefully it will give your followers the courage to give smoking up.
only my grandparents smoked, the 3 of the 4 that did smoked have died, while the one that didnt smoke is still living. 2 died from lung cancer, the other one died from pnuemonia because her lungs were shot from smoking.
Does a study exist that demonstrates a correlation between cigar smoking and adverse effects on the body? I ask this because Michael Jordan, I.e., smoked cigars from his college years and he continues. Thank you for your videos.
Grandma smoked a pack a day for 50 years and was fine. Half brother smoked for a few years in high-school, later died not too long after with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Love and miss you Bro
the poor bastard I thought losing at poker all the time made me unlucky holy shit lmao. In high school as well thats horrible and also so fucking unlucky its funny
If people want to smoke tobacco, fine. It's when they force it on family members and people who aren't able to escape that environment that it becomes particularly vile.
Yeah sadly my little brother recently has been smoking mostly cigarettes, he started off vaping now it's turned into a full on bad smoking habit. He knows it's bad and he trys to keep it away from us but idk. My dad used to smoke too. Maybe one day my brother will have the same strength to stop
secondary smokers(people exposed to second hand smoke) are even more hard it than the actual smokers.A particular reason i can never make friends with someone who is a heavy smoker or a date a lady who smokes.
As a dental hygienist, I appreciate you providing such a thorough explanation and demonstration of the effects of smoking on oral health. I saved the timestamp so I can use it for better patient education! This was so easy to follow and the visuals are excellent!🦷✨
My dental problems led to me quitting smoking weed. I used it as a coping mechanism for a lot of horrible shit that happened to me...developed a permanent Linea Alba as a result. I quit a month and 3 wks ago and took up MMA in its stead and am feeling better physically. I would recommend quitting smoking to anyone. It can be hard, and I understand, believe me I understand,but you just make it worse for yourself in the long run.
@KpLam3lasa that Füm thing? I don't think that's the same as a vape bro, I think it just produces flavoured air to replace the hand-to-mouth action that makes vaping extremely addictive. I could be wrong though, I'll look it up
@KpLam3lasa from my search, it's less harmful than a vape in that it doesn't produce vapour or use any chemicals, only natural substances. Less bad for you than smoking or vaping, but not entirely without health risks
I'm still impressed with my grandma, she quit cold turkey the moment tobacco companies lied a little less about the harmful effects. she started back when doctors advertised it and never smoked one again after doing a pack a day for 45 years straight
I was surprised to run into an old acquaintance. recently, who said she stopped cold turkey the day they became $5 pack. Said she sat outside & chain smoked the pack & a half she had, which made her extremely ill, & she never picked up another smoke again. My dad smoked non-filtered, for 12 years. Stopped cold turkey when the doc told him it was smoking that had him vomiting blood.
this video should be projected in all schools around de world.... thanks for such a great coverage and powerful speech. Peace to my dad who left us last year after lung cancer.
I started smoking at 17, now Im 28 and after 11 years of cronic tobacco adiction Im trying to quit, but fuuuuck its hard; this video helped a lot to understand the heavy impact of that shit. Thanks.
Pls try the book "Forever none-smoker" from Allen Carr. It's his second book, don't bother with the first. Cheap and stopped me smoking because he discects everything which is the Smoking-addiction
I started at 21 , I'm 32 now, I quit 10 months ago, coming up on a year soon I feel fucking incredible, there's this channel called addiction mindset, Dr Frank's the man. I binged his videos night and Day when I quit, proper research on how to deal with somatic and psychosomatic effects of addiction.. he'll help u walk out of this hell hole in no time, if u let him that is. First 3 months were insane but it passes. Cheers and good luck
I also smoked for 11 years and just decided to quit for food yesterday. My body doesn't feel too well right now but long term I just keep telling myself this is what's better. Hard to imagine breaking the habit after so long though. Good luck to you!!
I started vaping and smoking cigarettes since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. 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. I will pray for you all.
Recently decided to stop smoking weed. The impact to the lungs is a good reason but the habit of getting high to combat boredom was another issue I had. There’s so many things it can impact without someone realizing. Edit: currently 7 days sober as of writing(2/3/24). I bought some more stuff and ran out but Im planning to go as long as possible and I'm very confident I can do so. It's helps seeing all the comments saying the same scenario that I was dealing with❤️. I believe this is the right choice for me and what I want in life, it was always a battle of moderation and since I couldn’t control the temptations I’m quitting altogether. Good luck to those out there with the same goal!
@@skpninja07 you don’t understand, its fine to do stuff like oils, edibles, and skin application THC/CBD products. But he talked about how “Smoking weed.” Affects the lungs. Any form of carcinogenic products can cause irreversible damage to the lungs, throat, mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and even skin on the face. Any amount of smoke should not be inhaled unless its oxygen for you to breathe. Weed is great! Im a daily user, however, smoking weed and THC oils can still cause irreversible damage of what you don’t want in the future. Stay high and lifted my friend, but your lungs and health is important in life!:)
@@skpninja07 Don't encourage people to smoke my man. Some people don't want to because they know it is a net negative. Similiar to alcohol, some people are cool with it, others not so much.
@@garnerensor4501 Nah, he also said the psychological effects of weed was bad as well on him. So regardless of physical damage, mental damage can also be a pretty bad negative about weed, even if you aren't smoking it.
As a heavy stoner (punintended) you are doing gods work here. There has developed a lot of ideological blindness in the weed community recently, thank you for tackeling the misinformation. 420
@@kissenklauer7011 Those are definitely better. If you can keep from actually burning something and making smoke, that is going to be an improvement. I would love to see some detailed information on herb vaporizing though. I am curious how much safer it is.
@@kissenklauer7011 Makes a lot of sense. Doesnt taste as nice though in my view. I diversify, smoke a few joints, eat a few edibles(hash kakao preferably), and hit the vape^^
I think most stoners know smoking is “bad”, but we still do it 😂. Cannabinoids have shown to improve lung health to a degree, so I think that’s where the “safe” to smoke thought process comes from. I don’t think smoke inhalation of any kind can be deemed as safe truly.
I have been a passive smoker for 5 years. Now I am 6 months smoke free and going strong. For anyone reading this, it is much easier than you think. It becomes harder when you try to quit with the mindset that quitting smoking is hard. I feel much better and healthier. You can do it !!
Apparently I need change environment then. Trying to quit smoking but everywhere I go (work, home) and other places I smell burning tobacco and then my desire to smoke a cig increases as if you were hungry and walking past a pizzeria 😢
I'm a german paramedic and it is quite interesting that the average number of smokers is far higher within the medical proficiency (I would estimate that it is about twice as high)
Yeah, I still dont understand the fact that they should be like rolemodels for all people in terms of healthy habits and high percentage of them tend to smoke every day. I know that their job is stressful, but it would be much better if they started to lower the stress level for example with watching funny videos or something.
To quote Dr. Gabor Maté, don't ask why the addiction, ask why the pain. We are all so used to repressing and avoiding our emotions. We avoid the pain and so we suffer the consequences of our unhealthy coping mechanisms and addictions. It's a logical outcome in this toxic society.
Two weeks sober today. I was vaping an ounce of wax every month. I’m an athlete so I rely heavily on my body. I can immediately feel the positive effects. I’ve also put a great deal of effort into my mental health lately and quitting has greatly assisted that as well. The withdrawals from having that much THC in my system have been devastating. I’m just NOW starting to feel better. But I’m glad I took my first steps. I hope anyone else struggling knows it’s okay to quit, you don’t need THC to regulate your emotions. ❤ Started smoking at 17 & I am now 27.
People who say weed doesn't have withdrawals are nuts I had worse withdrawals from that than Adderall or Xanax my usage of weed was higher than the other two though
Anything addictive had withdrawals and weed is addictive. Stopping porn has withdrawals stopping masturbating has sort of withdrawals too the dreams continue the fight never ends.
Having this video pop up just as I’m trying to quit smoking pot, feels like a message from the universe. Thank you for helping us learn more about our body! ❤
@@lucianowillemse8244 I progressively stopped actually, and ironically used mushrooms to help me through. I’m currently 5 days off completely, going through some mood changes and shit but meditation is helping me a lot as well.
@@RafaLepo1996 Absolutely agreed. Mushrooms are an amazing way to break horrible habits. They really help you face yourself and force you to think about the things you don't want to think about in order to make significant changes in your life as a human being.
i’ve watched this video 3 times and shared it to everyone i’m close with. this is the most educational video and is so easy to understand, thank you sm for educating me
Most smokers don't care at all... I told my neighbor that I have allergies and asthma and my mom died in lung cancer, so I don't want to inhale his smoke (which is coming in to my apartment). He didn't give a shit, moreover was offended and yelled at me that I can't tell him what to do and I should move if I don't like it.
I stated smoking weed at 16 or 17 everyday till recently 2 months ago I stopped I’m 21, the reason I stopped is because I felt I was losing myself and just living everyday to smoke. I was forgetting how to do normal day by day movements and constantly felt uncomfortable in my own body, not only that I have anxiety and it worsened my anxiety. I know you might think why would you keep doin it all those years when it never helped with anything, I’m not sure myself but I’m just glad I finally stopped, I feel much better physically and mentally.
I’m proud for you bro. Try Somatic Breatworl exercises here on TH-cam. And also microdosing Mushrooms are pretty cool, Be mindful with the plant and aim to be productive and Always keep and open mind and Heart, Nd work on healing your inner child and ask yourself uncomfortable question and sit with your fist and most importantly.

@@LinkinPark4Ever1996so do you think that the issues that this commenter had with weed are way less likely to happen when you’re 20? Me personally I haven’t seen it affect me negatively im still enjoying life and living and enjoying everyday. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about weed even though I haven’t used it in months the reason I’ve been thinking about it a lot is that I’ve just recently been doing a lot of research on it
Thank you! This is what I've been saying most of my life. I get how beneficial some things are, and some people flat out need it to live, and as someone who suffers from migraines and anxiety I truly get it, HOWEVER I've never liked the idea of smoking anything. It drives me crazy when people swear it's not bad for you, but as far as I'm concerned anything that needs to be inhaled, that isn't air or life saving corticosteroids, isn't great for you. I don't care if it's natural, this or that, I'm not pumping my lungs with it multiple times a day.
@saulgoodmanssugarbaby Congratulations to your success! Though counting days are still a part of your addiction. Alan Carr's book on quitting specific addiction might be useful. For an example see the free quit porn ebook or audiobook inspired by Alan Carr. It is called: "The Easy Peasy Method to Quit Porn"
But did you think it was good before watching this? I mean it is pretty obvious, that inhaling anything else but air is probably not good for you. If you inhale smoke and cough from it, I don't think anybody would think it's good for you. I know it is still good to help stop people smoking and get away from addiction
@@hier0nymus658 no, I’d didn’t think it was good for me but I wasn’t aware of all the harm it can cause. Which is why I say I am happy I watched this video for now I am more educated.
I honestly love the comment section for this video and all the responses, positive and negative. Especially with cannabis. Iv been smoking pretty heavy since I stopped playing sports about 11 years ago. I’ll take breaks here and there, but somebody on this thread spoke to WHY I smoke. It’s literally to combat boredom. And at this point it was like a reflex even if I truly didn’t wanna smoke I did because of reflex and because I had time to spare. Iv always known how bad smoking is, but this video as well as you guys definitely made me quit. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever stop completely. But I wanna make it a healthier habit like drinking alcohol which I only do maybe a hand ful of times a year ( less than 4 times, don’t really like to drink) it’s only socially. But smoking just because your bored is somthing I had to stop doing it was restrictive, I do feel more anxiety, and feel a lot more like myself in socializing.
Sometimes people need to take gratitude to what they have they often take for granted. Being able to breathe air with a properly functioning pair of lungs itself seems like a great thing to me.
I grew up in second hand smoke. Not only that but my parents would allow us to have cigarettes if we rolled so many cigarettes for them. In other words we were given 1 cigarette per every 20 we would roll for them. Over half of my siblings went on to become heavy smokers, developing COPD early in life. This is where I say “there but the grace of God go I.” Watching an autopsy of smoker’s lungs in the sixth grade clinched it for me and I never smoked again. Unfortunately the damage was already done. I now have decreased pulmonary function and exercise induced asthma. I loved to run, but could never become great because of my compromised respiratory status. I finally had to give it up because the albuterol inhaler I would use to breathe would cause increased heart rate making it even more difficult to breathe. I love to garden but pushing wheelbarrows of mulch and carrying heavy things makes me wheeze. Do I wish I had never smoked, yes. Do I wish my parents did not subject my young developing lungs to second hand smoke, yes. When I see people smoking nowadays when everyone knows the health risks it makes me cringe. Why would anyone pay a billion dollar industry to kill them?
I never smoked but my parents did, and I have exercise induced asthma too. The thing that really helped with my lung function was stationary biking! I got a peloton a few years ago and I definitely can exercise a lot harder without having severe asthma symptoms, I even do a bit of running on a treadmill now. I still have to abstain when it’s too hot or if we’re dealing with wildfires or anything but I can do a 30 min bike ride without collapsing now.
You should talk to your doctor about Singulair. It has helped my lungs a lot and leaves me with 0 breathing issues. Started talking it before bootcamp and didn’t have a single flare up
Been smoking for 8 years and it's been 32days since i quit cold turkey, wasn't easy but it's possible if you're strong willed and got some support, sometimes i get cravings because of triggers but i try to handle them. Thanks for the video, reminds me of why i quit. People like me, stay strong i'm proud of you, keep on going, stay healthy
THANK YOU for giving attention to this simple yet misunderstood idea. I was just thinking about this yesterday about how cannabis and other smokeable drugs shouldn't be consumed that way, regardless of its medicinal properties. There needs to be new alternative ways to consume whilst still reaping the benefits that they provide.
Still much better to smoke weed than smoke tobacco: fewer chemicals, no cancer risk, and much better experience! Pretty much the only thing worse about smoking weed over cigarettes is the increased tar content, which is up to 2-4x higher than tobacco. Vaping herb or consuming edibles would produce less burden on your body: give it a try sometime! Peace.
As a retired Respiratory Therapist, I agree whole heartedly with you! Inhaling ANYTHING other than the purest air is bad for our lungs, and to pretend otherwise is to volunteer as a lab rat so that the bad effects can be discovered decades later. In fact, even pure air isn't that great for our lungs, because of the oxidizing effects of the oxygen on our tissues, but our lungs have antioxidants to minimize that. When a person gets older, lungs naturally become less flexible, respiratory muscles become weaker, and decreased production of antioxidants leads to greater damage done by the oxygen we need to live. It's NOT a good idea to add more damage on top of what father time already loads on our bodies!
There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.
I smoked more than a pack a day for 5 straight years and I loved every second of it. I quit cold turkey 2 days after I found out I was pregnant and I will never ever pick up another cigarette as long as I live. Best decision I've ever made. My son saved my life. Cigarettes will kill over half of its users. Think about that.
@@paola9922you just need to keep yourself busy more than anything. I’m a month off and got really into flying jets in digital combat simulator to take up the time weed used too since weed was basically my hobby.
If you can get your friends to keep you honest it a helps a ton as well. A bunch of us quit nicotine by offering to buy games for guys who lasted more then 3 months free and 4 out of 6 are now nicotine free.
Thank you Justin. This is what iv been thinkin about all this time. I talked to somebody telling me smoking cannabis aint as bad as normal cigarets. But ever since that encounter im like.. but ur still inhaling burned material and fine particals, that is never a good thing. im glad you explain it for us and way better than i ever will be able to.
I grew up smoking with my cousins, and I smoked for almost 20 years. Also smoked a LOT of weed for most of that time. When I hit my 30s, I felt like my body had enough of me smoking and if I continued to smoke for another 10 years, I would start to really see harm. I used vaping to quit smoking and while that was effective, I could feel there was something not great about vaping. I finally quit vaping during the pandemic (also haven't touched weed in years), and I feel like my lungs started to feel "clean" a couple years after I quit vaping.
In my 30s too. Couldn't smoke or rarely could the last 4 years on federal probation after a couple years in prison. Was doing many harder drugs too so maybe that saved my life but started smoking again and I feel the same like nah I gotta stop doing this to my body.
Congratulations on quitting. I can't recall where I read or heard this, but I do remember it being said that when a person quits smoking, after a period of approximately 15 years, their lungs are practically indistinguishable from someone who never had smoked. Stay the course -- you're definitely on the right track!
I quit smoking tobacco, 19yrs ago & I'm glad I did. A dear friend of mine, just had surgery back in May. She had oral cancer. She survived the procedure, but it will take 6 to 9 months to heal. I lost a co-worker, who was also a friend, to lung cancer. Most of my friends, used to smoke, but have since quit. Post smoking, I still suffered 2 strokes. The first one in 2009, the 2nd in the new year of 2018. I'm a survivor of both, obviously. It could've been much worse, if I continued to smoke. I quit & never looked back.
Ive been smoking for 20 years (im 34 now). Ive tryed to quit my adiction a few times, with more or less sucesfully... Now Im trying it again since 1 month, but now I have mor conviction about how dangerous is it, and how many years Ive been smoking (and how many cigarretes ive smoked..). Thanks for this video, its helpfull to keep the force. Thankyou.
I’m now happily smoke-free for six years. I smoked (cigarettes) for nearly thirty years! I thought I would never be able to quit. It’s important for anyone trying to quit smoking that they DON’T GIVE UP trying to quit smoking!! Don’t beat yourself up if you slip up; just dust yourself off and try again. And again. And once again… keep trying to quit until it sticks. And it will eventually. I’m living proof of that! Great video! 👍👍
Congratulations! I'm trying to quit but I keep slipping up. I know I'll get there but it's disheartening when you mess up. But I will follow your advice and keep trying and not be too hard on myself
Lemme just tell you: quit both almost 3 years ago.....feel SO much better, clearer and saved THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars. It wasn't my choice to quit: I got lung cancer and had to live for my wife and kids....it was a no brainer.
I remember several years ago heroin addiction destroyed my life, I suffered from severe depression and a mental disorder until I was recommended to psilocybin mushroom treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly I'm 8 years clean now. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
they saved you from death bud, let's be honest here mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet I wish people could all realize. they can solve a lot of problems, more than mental treatments.
yes, that's right, I researched and found out that shrooms are helpful in many ways but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source I can reach out to
they've helped me a lot as well I'm a war vet diagnosed with PTSD. A lot of issues spun out of control when I came home. This is something i looked up and tried after trying the roller coaster of antidepressants. Day and night difference
All the research out there, and this is the video that made you change? Not saying it is a bad thing, just wondering what did this video do that is special?
@@jdubo1998 actually the things that was said in this video wasn't anything really special. It's just that I usually wouldn't go out of my way to see what are the down sides of smoking, but when this video got recommend to me I said hey let's see what he has to say...
I started smoking cigarettes at 14 and weed at 17... At 20 i was smoking almost a pack a day. It was very, very hard to stop but after multiple attempts i could quit at 26. I coped with nicotine patches and gums and litters of tea. I completely stopped nicotine 4 years ago but i still drink 2+ litters of tea a day and i don't think i will ever stop (my doctor say it's a good trade). I still have dreams where i smoke cigarettes and i wake up panicked because i feel like i started smoking again and i need to go through withdrawal all over again. Don't start please. Thank you for the video :)
I clicked on this video SO FAST. As a chronic asthmatic, smoke (and strong smells in general) flare my lungs up. Even the subtle lingering smell of smoke on someone's clothing after smoking outside can affect me on a bad day. Smokers have NO idea how negatively they can affect the people around them. Thank you for talking about this.
Another thing about cannabis, if you are dabbing concentrates there isn’t combustion, tho inhaling hot vapors isn’t good for you, if you have a temp reader and you go in at recommended temperatures rather than just randomly going red hot it will definitely play a roll in the way you will feel over time, another thing is most dispensaries do not want to produce the cleanest healthiest product they simply want money, most concentrates they make contains butane or propane to get the most possible outcome while adding unatural terpenes for taste, while with solventless concentrates that aren’t very common and quite expensive at dispensaries are completely natural processes including water,ice,heat and pressure are much better for you, I would dab BHO on red hot quartz which means 800°+ and it’s absolutely terrible for you, definitely could feel pains in my chest until I studies more into it
I had asthma as a child, and while that's not a good thing, it always give me an easy reason in social situations not to put anything weird into my lungs.
Hi Justin, thanks for another great video. I want to let you know another main result of smoking is bladder cancer. I was diagnosed last December with muscle invasive bladder cancer. I'm nearly 62 & was a smoker more or less since I was 15. I only ever stopped when I was pregnant and breastfeeding. The moment I was diagnosed I gave up the cigs completely. I did use nicotine patches for 1 week. I'm now almost 4 month's post op, of having my bladder removed along with a complete hysterectomy and the removal of my lymph nodes. I now have a ileal conduit made from part of my bowel which is attached to the outside of my abdomen into a stoma & it's through this I wear an urostomy bag. I see myself as being very lucky that the cancer hasn't spread anywhere else. The reason why my surgeon gave me the hysterectomy & removed my lymph nodes is because that's where the cancer 1st's spreads too once outside of the bladder. It's been a very long & rough 4 months recovery. Everything was removed through a mid-line wound starting from my navel to my pelvis & I'm still having problems as it's been very, very slow in healing. It's not quite there yet. Trying to get used to an urostomy bag & all that goes with it is a whole other story. I've also just watched your video on hysterectomies & found it fascinating. I was wondering if you maybe could do a video on a female bladder please? Also too on a male bladder as theirs are completely different & in men, bladder cancer from smoking is very common. I'd never heard of bladder cancer until my diagnosis. Apparently it's a very common cancer, it's just not one that gets much-needed attention. Thanks again for the great videos guy's I learn so much & am always eager to know more. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤
One cancer patient to another, there's a cancer for everything under the sun. Every damn part of the human body that can try to kill someone is very able to mutate and do so. It's a sobering realisation for sure. I'm sorry you were born in that generation where everyone smoked. I'm 25 and I know very few people my age who smoke. Some of them vape though, and for the kids younger than me, everyone vapes... I guess I was born at just the right time. Or not because of the genes causing my cancer but that's a whole other thing haha 😅
My dad passed away in 2017 at the age of 70. He did smoke for over 50 years, from 15 y.o until 65. He had several COPD, arteriosclerosis and so many other issues.
I love how he educates us on smoking and the goods and bads of smoking weed, but he doesn't diss the shit outta it. He brings the bads AND the goods. If u ask me, thats extremely important.
I knew anything other than air entering the lungs was bad, but this shows how bad, and hopefully it can be some good motivation for me to smoke less weed
This video was the final motivation that got me to quit cigarettes cold turkey 3 weeks ago. Quitting weed was relatively easy, but the cigarette cravings are only just now subsiding fully. I smoked both weed and tobacco basically all day every day for ten years. I gotta say, i like breathing! Everything smells much stronger too. And my cooking (which already tasted good) is simply out of this world lol. Exercise is awesome now too, i catch my breath WAY more quickly. Thanks for helping me to achieve freedom from depending on these coping mechanisms 🙏 i quit alcohol and caffeine too- now for refined sugars and processed foods. This will be the hard part since dang near 80% of all food in U.S. groceries is processed and full of refined sugars.
Congrats! How do you deal with all the smoke deposits on the walls etc? I moved into a smoker's home and I still find brown droplets of smoke products on the inner windows.
@@FHBStudiothanks! i never smoked inside- i didn't want it to be obvious that i was a smoker so i was sure to stay aired out. I don't have kids, otherwise that would've played a role too (i planned to quit smoking before considering it).If i buy an inside-smoker's former home I'll just rebuild all the walls. Hopefully they're drywall instead of plaster lol
Cigarette cravings f**king sucks! I now that shi is bad for me, but I can not stop... I easily quit alcohol, two year sober now, but cigarettes are different beast...
@@muramasa870 Vaping might be the better way to go about it. That way you have more control over the nicotine you are taking in, and you can go to lower and lower percentages.
I'm a long distance runner and once I hit 30 I would notice that running felt noticably more difficult for hours and even up to a day after smoking cannabis. I had already cut back quite a bit since my college days, but that drove me to stop completely. I still occasionally have edibles but never smoke.
@@jacoboreilly7526it isn’t a nicotine vape. Dry herb vape is a type of lil mini oven you put your bud into. Hit a button so it heats it up and burns it so you aren’t getting any negative feelings or combustion, and you’re good. It’s a lot more healthier than smoking bud in a bowl or anything else.
I have been on and off with quitting and its been so hard. This video is what I needed to remind myself why I have to stop and start consuming cannabis in edible form to avoid ingesting any type of smoke in my body. God bless the "Recommended for you".. its like it knew I needed to watch this!
Just avoid it altogether. You can do it, all you have to do is unleash the achiever who’s inside you. You’re keeping it dormant with all these substances that serves you absolutely no good.
Thank you for reminding me to not give up quitting. I have been smoke free for about 3 1/2 years but started again when my stepdad passed away. That's three years ago now and I have had multiple attempts of quitting, making it for about 2 weeks max. Right now I'm sitting on my sofa, having a cold (the 4th or 5th this year, probably because of my immune system being shit from smoking and vaping) not wanting to smoke and I hope I make it this time! Wish me endurance. btw. the quality of your videos is super good and I really enjoy learning more about our anatomy from you. Keep up the nice work
Soooo grateful for you guys and all you do, to serve such a broad public audience, and to make education that matters so accessible. I can only imagine how many people (myself included) that these videos impact and ignite positive habit changes. Also happy to be reading and hearing more and more of the actual science coming out about negative impacts on smoking weed. When I used to smoke weed pretty regularly I'd tell my doctors, and theyd brush it off and wouldnt make any comments regarding my health, which at first didn't mean anything to me, but later didn't seem to make sense, due to exactly what you guys say: breathing in ANYTHING besides air, let alone ashes, is not healthy for anyone. Addiction is so powerful, it will excuse these objective truths...but this video is very radical for that, and makes me smile knowing it exists :)
Glad to hear you enjoy our content and this video! Our hope is that our content can assist people in making better decisions with their body, or at the very least, having a greater awareness around what’s happening to their body.
Sounds like a crock nice Fairy tale your saying you told your Dr you smoke weed and he said eh no biggie? either you werent listening , or you have a bad doctor lol if you thought smoking anything was not going to have negative effects then you just need to learn to not be ignorant , Weed has a bad way of becoming a habit and plenty abuse it in that sense , but if you need pain relief or stress relief you can Take edibles or other non smokeable ways man
When I was 22 years old, I had a very vivid dream that I was terminally ill with lung cancer from smoking. In this dream my kids and wife were crying yet at that time I did not have a GF. This was when I stopped smoking because is scared the living hell out of me. I'm 62 now and going strong and never touched a smoke since.
My doctor told me the same thing back in 1979 when I presented with a chronic cough after smoking cannabis. That stuck with me. With the exception of a couple of times thereafter, I stopped smoking. I was not at any risk of tobacco use. I took a drag off of a cigarette once and found it especially vile.
That was most likely from shitty cannabis with mold, bugs, or pesticides. There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.
I'm trying to get my mom to stop smoking. I have been for years. She's worried that she'll fall to a worse vice (talking abt short-term results instead of long-term health problems) and perhaps this video will help finally. You have a very gentle and kind way of explaining without making the viewer feel bad or stupid so while I translate for her, I'm sure she'll understand from your tone and facial expressions even if my translation isn't as colourful as your presentation 😂
I’m trying to do that too and I am clueless as to what I should do to stop her from smoking. Nothing helps and she is just stubborn, do you have any ideas or what have you tried so far? I’d love to hear from you!
@@AnaesthesiaDoc well, the main reason she's been considering it (she HAS cut back on how much she smokes) is mostly money because cigs are very expensive 😭 so there's that, maybe you can point out that you'd be able to have more money to the side without cigarettes. Another is pointing out that she'll feel better without smoking, even if it takes some time. My boyfriend had a bit of a hard time but it wasn't as terrible as he feared. That was encouraging for my mom but she's still worried about wanting to eat more or less, turning to sugar, the fact that she can't chew gums because of her weak teeth, fear of turning to alcohol and other such things. I am fully willing to help her find alternatives such as going for a walk instead or writing poems (bc my mom really likes writing) or doing some light exercise and such. Even playing a boardgame! I think it's just important for us to a) present the facts without terrifying them and b) help them be less afraid of making the change and supporting them through it without judgement and with patience :) my mom is extremely stubborn too, so it took her some time to accept that she wants and needs to stop smoking. It also helped that I hate the smell and she truly does believe the dangers of secondhand smoke and she'd do anything for me and our cat. I helped her by pointing out her small successes like when she started smoking less even if it wasn't a huge difference
I love this. I was highly dependent on weed from 17 to 23. I quit a month ago for my second time and have felt a complete 180 in my personality and in my health. I could never breath out of my nose and now I can, I’m socially more confident and outgoing and my physical health has increased. I’ve been working out for 5 years but my lungs and air ways were always shot. Now I feel like I’m getting a better quality of air flow. I felt schizophrenic, anxious, and like my mood was very irregular. Now I’m feeling so much better, I know it’s been a month but I have no desire in the slightest to go back, I’m happier now.
Dude same! I quit weed a week ago, and started working out three months ago my mood, confidence etc is soooo much better. I’ll never go back and I cut out sugar and processed food
Watching this feels like such a victory lap if you are completely clean from smoking or vaping anything. To anyone watching this because they are scared, I wish you good luck and know that quitting is totally worth it.
I would like to hear you talk about the effect of THC at different tolerance levels. My personal experience points to a maximum high (intensity and duration) being achieved from a minimal dose on a minimal tolerance. It’s also my experience that it’s very difficult to stick to a minimal usage plan. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
After having a few heart attacks, I gave up smoking anything. It has been decades, but I still have problems with lung function, short of having to have supplemental oxygen, but there are times I need to do deep breathing to catch my breath. If I could go back in time, I would set myself down and get me to understand how bad it is to smoke. Nothing more, just that over anything that would give me wealth and power, as that isn't where happiness is.
Came here to comment 1 year later. I've been a smoker for a smoker for most of my youth. Did everything i could to quit it. Then i saw this video. Honestly there's nothing in this video that i hadn't seen before, but somehow due to this vid, its like a switch went off in my head. And i quit immediately. Cold turkey. Very very rare cravings after that. So now I'm proud to say, I'm 1 year smoke free, thanks to this channel. Good job guys! I'll be forever grateful ❤
I know it's not easy to quit smoking but to anyone struggling to quit, here's what worked for me. Start small; count one day no smoke, two days no smoke and so on. And yes you will fail many many, many times and it's okay it's part of the process. If you have friends who are smokers tell them that you are trying to quit so they can help you by not smoking next to you and stuff like that. When that time comes when you fail to resist that urge and end up lighting another cigarette, reset the counter and write down how much regret you feel for giving in after all that time you were doing so well. And each time you want to give in again read what you wrote the last time you gave up and remind yourself that it's not worth repeating what you will regret again and again. And remind yourself that it is not worth resetting the counter especially when you are breaking your previous records. You will reset the counter many many times, but It's okay to fail just make sure you keep breaking your previous records. I too failed countless times but this way I kept myself from smoking (not even a single puff) for 3.6 years now 1315 days to be exact. Yes I'm still counting because even now the urge to smoke visits me from time to time. So, if you want to quit, know that the earlier the better. I hope this helps and if it doesn't, find another way that works for you. Just don't give up. Good luck.
Keep up the good work! It took my heavy smoker mom about 5 years abstaining before the urge was totally gone and she found smoke smell to be offensive. You're almost there.
The way I quit for good: after smoking the first cigarette of a pack I kept that open pack in my jacket pocket, and EACH time I went for another I talked myself out of THAT ONE! It wasn't long before I no longer desired to have a smoke, though, I kept the pack in my pocket. In fact, I kept it in my pocket so long, as a reminder I 'chose' not to smoke, that when someone had asked me if I had a cigarette, and I gave them one, they complained it was stale! That's when I finally threw them away. 😛😹😺 That was early 1990's. 💖🙌😺
I quit smoking cannabis daily and switched to making cannabis tea and ive noticed a lot of the benefits are more potent with none of the uncomfortability that comes with smoking. Im also a vocalist so putting less stress on my lungs and heart has helped me feel more creative and happier because the smoke no longer effects me negatively. Ill still smoke but not nearly as often as i used to. I much prefer the edibles/drinks for thc/cbd. Thank you for the educational content 🙏 keep it up!
Does is smell? I imagine it does preparing.. But like if its already prepared and served could I walk into my house with a cup and drink it unnoticeably? I hate the reek of burnt weed. I've noticed vaping is really hurting my lungs, I don't need anyone telling me that. So the only edible I tried didn't make me feeling anything at all.
@Rabiiid yeah they just legalized it recreational in the state I live in, so you can buy the gummies and seltzers w/ THC at the stores, too. It is very discreet 😆 the most potent edibles I've had were medicinal grade or made at home. Hopefully you can quit vaping and find alternatives to get high if it's hurting you 💪
I am currently in the process of quitting smoking and drinking, after almost being left by my wife twice this year already. These are really sneaky demons, I am not what you consider the lower class, I'm an IT guy, I have a car, a decent job, but you begin with a beer, then two, then three beers, then a bottle of wine and years later you find yourself chugging 2 liters of wine each night and having fights with your loved one based on imaginary scenarios. And it's always there, like a splinter in your mind, maybe I'll only drink each 3 days, or once a week, you do that, then slowly you're back drinking daily. The only way is to completely cut it off suddenly. It does mess up your mind and you do start doing weird and bad stuff, I would have never thought I'd do or say the things I've done or said this year. I never do anything any more, I never go out, I never repair anything around the house, I don't clean any more... My YT channel is dead... I had the power to see that alcohol was the only reason why we're not as we used to be and while's she's away at her parents, I told her that if I ever drink again, she can leave me. We do have our issues and we need to discuss and solve them, but every time that alcohol is involved... the discussions lead to disaster. To hell with these... I'm drinking tea from now on. And if you have trouble to go to sleep and use booze for this, try lavender tea, it's awesome and has a powerful natural sleeping inducing effect.
This video is awesome. I quit smoking cold turkey before the new year. I hope by sometime next year the damage smoke has done over the years can be undone.
Many smokers don't think twice about inflicting their smoke on me. They also throw their cigarette ends on the road and pavement, creating litter. It's a level of selfishness that I find intolerable and incomprehensible.
But in some countries it's socially acceptable and you should tolerate others smoking, it's actually unacceptable if you 'read them the lesson' not to smoke even though you are doing it for your own health which you should have right over...I was in Macedonia for some time and literally anyone smokes anywhere, anytime, any age. Like you literally are in people their smoke during any activity. You are in the bus, the bus driver smokes, you are eating out the people next to you smoke. People literally standing there with a baby smoking. They don't give a fuck. I really don't get how such countries can be healthy.
@@nicochan1537 Tobacco is a means of control. Of course those countries made it socially acceptable. They only care that the slaves are compliant. I'm not the compliant-type, and I will look down on someone who smokes as someone lacking O2, poisoned by mutagens and carcinogens, sluggish, ineffective and just generally lesser. You think I'm going to rely on someone that does that stuff? Heck no. Also, Europe is full of unreliable bums. Not a people I'm interested in emulating.
I've been watching you guys for a few months now and I've ALWAYS enjoyed all of them. Hearing you were/are a Marine, just puts icing on the cake! It's good to know that there are fellow Marines out there in this field and spreading great information. Semper Fi, have a Dan Daily day, keep up the great work, and I need to chill out on smoking cannabis lol
Cannabis has good and bad qualities, and I've always thought inhaling smoke was both unnatural and simply a bad idea. The positive effects for me have so far always outweighed the negative, but this is invaluable information for anyone to know, IMO. Glad this video exists
Edibles are cool, altough the only time I've add them the urge to sleep was so potent that doing anything but struggling not to pass out on the floor was close to impossible I prefer psychedelics
Been smoking since 18-19, now 25 and was smoking damn near everyday without fail and just stopped smoking about 2 months ago!! Happy to start this journey and become more of myself
I went through a period of cannabis addiction (now I still use it but more rarely), at some point I accepted that my near daily use wasn't disappearing any time soon and bought a dry herb vaporizer. Best health decision I could've made (aside from quitting maybe..).
I started smoking weed at 18 years old, and continued doing so on a regular basis until May of this year. I quit because I was starting to get paranoid about it's effects on my mental state as well as the effects on my body from the long-term usage. I would sometimes smoke 3-4 bowls a day, and I started developing heavy breathing and a bad cough. Ever since I quit, my breathing has improved greatly and my overall quality-of-life as improved. I think cannabis can be beneficial if used infrequently and on occasion, however the feeling of being high can be addicting and over time can start to become something you rely on for anxiety or stress, which can lead to further addiction. TL;DR : Use cannabis at your own risk. If you have great self-control and other means to relieve your anxiety and stress, then by all means smoke weed. Otherwise, just be cautious and set weekly limits for yourself. And don't smoke cigarettes.
@@f2t948 I won’t lie with you, I started smoking again not too long after this comment. I agree with you completely on edibles. They might be more expensive depending on how much you do a day, but I think the price and health benefits (compared to weed) balance everything. Question : you do think dabs are a safe alternative? I have a rig, and I used to dab all the time. My only problem was I’d hit the wax too hot.
I loved this. It was super insightful. I'm a regular cannabis user but it's vital to know the risks and cut down. Could you please do a video on infused edibles and their effect?
As a za user I'm always forward to seeing educative videos like this about smoking it, helps me decide on a better way to ingest it without damaging my body with these chemicals, thank you I think I will switch to edibles instead...
I knew this one guy from high school, and when I asked them, why do you smoke? It's not good for you. He replied, "Smoking helps clean your lungs." Who knows whatever happened to him to this day... hopefully, he still has his lungs.
@@NateCraven318 Weed gummies are something more cost efficient that lasts longer. I personally think things like weed oil infused salad and weed brownies to be more of a special occasion type thing. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a weed cake on your birthday with some homies?
22 days since I stopped. What's helping me a lot is doing exercises everyday and the fact that i'm completely sober for more than a month now So no alcohol, no weed. Plenty of exercises, water, healthy food and quality sleep. I'm having the best time of my life, never been happier. Its getting easier.
@@Blake-pn6xm you meant to say a low level of intelligence and awareness of the consequences. Weak control over the desires or susceptibility to the imposition of society.
Quit smoking around 3 years ago and never looked back! I recently had a draw of a cigarette while having some drinks with a friend and thought it was the most disgusting tasting thing in the world. Fully made me realise I was happy to be a non smoker haha
I quit smoking this year, switched to edibles and I've noticed a gradual improvement in my overall health this video justifies my decision. It's really easy to make your own infused snacks and it's cheaper than having to buy an OZ every two weeks making it a win win situation.
thank you guys for this video. I quit smoking cannabis (daily user) about a year ago because I finally changed my living situation and didn't need to rely on it for emotional and physical regulation. I was getting pneumonia every winter, got gingivitis, and constantly wheezed, but I kept justifying it by saying it was better than cigarettes, that I wasn't doing harder substances. I'm glad that I have such a solid resource to learn about why my decision to quit was a good one. It was a huge deal and very difficult to quit, but I am so glad I did. My body is finally back to a relatively normal baseline. My mind is so much less foggy.
Quitting wasnt easy for me but it was so worth it! Being a tobacco smoker i wasnt able to be who i felt like i really was. Now i feel so much better physically and im not clearing my throat every 10 seconds like an old man 😂
Fun fact in the ~1930s had an aunt who was told to smoke menthol cigarettes by her doctor because that was the only thing that afforded relief from chronic sinusitis.

@@kelseykaye7269 While I condemn smokers of tobacco in the strongest possible terms, I also applaud those who've had the strength to quit. Addiction is a monster. Good on you :)
Excellent.
@@kelseykaye7269 That's love. Brava. While I still smoked, I cared for my mother while she died of emphysema, still smoking cigarettes herself. My sister recently died, admittedly after a full life, but she blamed her early smoking for the destruction of her lungs in later life. My father died before I could know him. Yes, from smoking (heart attack).
Mom took years to quit smoking (Dad did it cold turkey). She took classes, chewed gum and even underwent hypnosis. None of it worked. She went to work in a hospital and saw the difference between a healthy lung and a smoker’s lung (perhaps cancerous). She stopped smoking that day. That was around 40 years ago… she’s 92 now.
Respect she's still going ❤
That's awesome! 💖🙌😺
Perhaps that could be a science project for teenages, plus take em to a morgue to see hit and run driver or speeding driver
@@hazelparr8461 That might work for lots of things. I once told my teenaged daughter not to do something and why. She did it anyway and, surprise, she reaped the consequences. When I asked why she did it, she told me she thought I was just trying to scare her. I responded, yes, I was trying to scare her, but I was also telling her fact. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
Teens think they’re invincible, so you’re right, seeing some unpleasant realities might help.
Quiting smoking is all about mind over matter.
Growing up there were 8 of us that smoked cigarettes, right along with our parents. I quit 45 years ago, before I had any health issues from smoking. Both of my parents died from heart problems, 2 siblings died from copd and 2 died from lung cancer and 2 died from other illnesses. That leaves 2 of us. It was sad watching my family die from something that could have been avoided. Thanks for sharing what smoking does to our bodies. Hopefully it will give your followers the courage to give smoking up.
only my grandparents smoked, the 3 of the 4 that did smoked have died, while the one that didnt smoke is still living. 2 died from lung cancer, the other one died from pnuemonia because her lungs were shot from smoking.

This is great to hear!
The amount of great content in this channel is huge.
Please ase quit your practice. Even you know dentistry is a s k#Am
My dental problems led to me quitting smoking weed. I used it as a coping mechanism for a lot of horrible shit that happened to me...developed a permanent Linea Alba as a result.
I quit a month and 3 wks ago and took up MMA in its stead and am feeling better physically. I would recommend quitting smoking to anyone. It can be hard, and I understand, believe me I understand,but you just make it worse for yourself in the long run.
Funny, my dentist said casual cannabis smoking has at worst marginal to likely no effect on gum or teeth health but yea keep peddling nonsense quack.
A wise man once said: “You can either give up everything for one thing, or you can give up one thing for everything.”
I heard it differently:

There are a million reasons as to why one would smoke, but only one fact as to why shouldn’t.

@KpLam3lasa that Füm thing? I don't think that's the same as a vape bro, I think it just produces flavoured air to replace the hand-to-mouth action that makes vaping extremely addictive. I could be wrong though, I'll look it up
Well vape is vape
@KpLam3lasa from my search, it's less harmful than a vape in that it doesn't produce vapour or use any chemicals, only natural substances. Less bad for you than smoking or vaping, but not entirely without health risks
So good, this should be a part of high school physed curriculum
I'm still impressed with my grandma, she quit cold turkey the moment tobacco companies lied a little less about the harmful effects. she started back when doctors advertised it and never smoked one again after doing a pack a day for 45 years straight

I binged his videos night and Day when I quit, proper research on how to deal with somatic and psychosomatic effects of addiction.. he'll help u walk out of this hell hole in no time, if u let him that is. First 3 months were insane but it passes. Cheers and good luck

I started vaping and smoking cigarettes since my teenage. Spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. Mushrooms literally got me off my feet and turned my whole life around. I am currently a housing manager for a recovery program. I wouldn't have been able to do that shit without psilocybin.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. 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. I will pray for you all.

Recently decided to stop smoking weed. The impact to the lungs is a good reason but the habit of getting high to combat boredom was another issue I had. There’s so many things it can impact without someone realizing.
Edit: currently 7 days sober as of writing(2/3/24). I bought some more stuff and ran out but Im planning to go as long as possible and I'm very confident I can do so. It's helps seeing all the comments saying the same scenario that I was dealing with❤️. I believe this is the right choice for me and what I want in life, it was always a battle of moderation and since I couldn’t control the temptations I’m quitting altogether. Good luck to those out there with the same goal!
It’s ok to smoke weed every once and a while, is ok you don’t have to completely stop 😊
@@skpninja07 you don’t understand, its fine to do stuff like oils, edibles, and skin application THC/CBD products. But he talked about how “Smoking weed.” Affects the lungs. Any form of carcinogenic products can cause irreversible damage to the lungs, throat, mouth, teeth, gums, cheeks, and even skin on the face. Any amount of smoke should not be inhaled unless its oxygen for you to breathe. Weed is great! Im a daily user, however, smoking weed and THC oils can still cause irreversible damage of what you don’t want in the future. Stay high and lifted my friend, but your lungs and health is important in life!:)
@@skpninja07 not everybody can just smoke every once in a while, either i smoke or i dont theres no inbetween
@@skpninja07 Don't encourage people to smoke my man. Some people don't want to because they know it is a net negative. Similiar to alcohol, some people are cool with it, others not so much.
@@garnerensor4501 Nah, he also said the psychological effects of weed was bad as well on him. So regardless of physical damage, mental damage can also be a pretty bad negative about weed, even if you aren't smoking it.
As a heavy stoner (punintended) you are doing gods work here. There has developed a lot of ideological blindness in the weed community recently, thank you for tackeling the misinformation. 420
what do you think about vaping weed with a herb vaporizer?
@@kissenklauer7011 Those are definitely better. If you can keep from actually burning something and making smoke, that is going to be an improvement. I would love to see some detailed information on herb vaporizing though. I am curious how much safer it is.
@@kissenklauer7011 There isn't enough evidence to show the negatives of vaping. I'm sure we will find out in the future with how popular vaping is.
@@kissenklauer7011 Makes a lot of sense. Doesnt taste as nice though in my view. I diversify, smoke a few joints, eat a few edibles(hash kakao preferably), and hit the vape^^
I think most stoners know smoking is “bad”, but we still do it 😂. Cannabinoids have shown to improve lung health to a degree, so I think that’s where the “safe” to smoke thought process comes from. I don’t think smoke inhalation of any kind can be deemed as safe truly.
I have been a passive smoker for 5 years. Now I am 6 months smoke free and going strong. For anyone reading this, it is much easier than you think. It becomes harder when you try to quit with the mindset that quitting smoking is hard. I feel much better and healthier. You can do it !!
Apparently I need change environment then. Trying to quit smoking but everywhere I go (work, home) and other places I smell burning tobacco and then my desire to smoke a cig increases as if you were hungry and walking past a pizzeria 😢
W You got it bro
What do you mean a passive smoker who quit ? Doesn’t passive smoker entails that you weren’t the one smoking but the people around you were ?
I'm a german paramedic and it is quite interesting that the average number of smokers is far higher within the medical proficiency (I would estimate that it is about twice as high)
Stressful life
Fascinating
Yeah, I still dont understand the fact that they should be like rolemodels for all people in terms of healthy habits and high percentage of them tend to smoke every day. I know that their job is stressful, but it would be much better if they started to lower the stress level for example with watching funny videos or something.
To quote Dr. Gabor Maté, don't ask why the addiction, ask why the pain. We are all so used to repressing and avoiding our emotions. We avoid the pain and so we suffer the consequences of our unhealthy coping mechanisms and addictions. It's a logical outcome in this toxic society.
I wonder if it's the same globally. I've noticed that smoking is much more common (and accepted) in Germany than in the US, for example.
Two weeks sober today. I was vaping an ounce of wax every month. I’m an athlete so I rely heavily on my body. I can immediately feel the positive effects. I’ve also put a great deal of effort into my mental health lately and quitting has greatly assisted that as well.
The withdrawals from having that much THC in my system have been devastating. I’m just NOW starting to feel better. But I’m glad I took my first steps. I hope anyone else struggling knows it’s okay to quit, you don’t need THC to regulate your emotions. ❤
Started smoking at 17 & I am now 27.
People who say weed doesn't have withdrawals are nuts I had worse withdrawals from that than Adderall or Xanax my usage of weed was higher than the other two though
Anything addictive had withdrawals and weed is addictive. Stopping porn has withdrawals stopping masturbating has sort of withdrawals too the dreams continue the fight never ends.
Not til Jesus takes me to His kingdom anyways
I started smoking cannabis at 11, and now slowly quitting at 18.
Dang that is a lot wax

Most smokers don't care at all... I told my neighbor that I have allergies and asthma and my mom died in lung cancer, so I don't want to inhale his smoke (which is coming in to my apartment). He didn't give a shit, moreover was offended and yelled at me that I can't tell him what to do and I should move if I don't like it.
@9xqspx6 what a rude person to not care fr
I stated smoking weed at 16 or 17 everyday till recently 2 months ago I stopped I’m 21, the reason I stopped is because I felt I was losing myself and just living everyday to smoke. I was forgetting how to do normal day by day movements and constantly felt uncomfortable in my own body, not only that I have anxiety and it worsened my anxiety. I know you might think why would you keep doin it all those years when it never helped with anything, I’m not sure myself but I’m just glad I finally stopped, I feel much better physically and mentally.

Me personally I haven’t seen it affect me negatively im still enjoying life and living and enjoying everyday. Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about weed even though I haven’t used it in months the reason I’ve been thinking about it a lot is that I’ve just recently been doing a lot of research on it

Thank you! This is what I've been saying most of my life. I get how beneficial some things are, and some people flat out need it to live, and as someone who suffers from migraines and anxiety I truly get it, HOWEVER I've never liked the idea of smoking anything. It drives me crazy when people swear it's not bad for you, but as far as I'm concerned anything that needs to be inhaled, that isn't air or life saving corticosteroids, isn't great for you. I don't care if it's natural, this or that, I'm not pumping my lungs with it multiple times a day.
For clarity, corticosteroids aren't "good" for you, either. 😛😺

Any tip for us who smoke almost 2 packs a day and now I want to stop but find it hard.
As a smoker, it hurts to watch but I love that I am now more educated and can make a decision about my smoking consumption
Yeah I need to quit but it is difficult.
But did you think it was good before watching this? I mean it is pretty obvious, that inhaling anything else but air is probably not good for you. If you inhale smoke and cough from it, I don't think anybody would think it's good for you.

@@hier0nymus658No smoker things it's healthy lol
@@ufa0793thats what the guy you tagged just said….
@@hier0nymus658 no, I’d didn’t think it was good for me but I wasn’t aware of all the harm it can cause. Which is why I say I am happy I watched this video for now I am more educated.
I honestly love the comment section for this video and all the responses, positive and negative. Especially with cannabis. Iv been smoking pretty heavy since I stopped playing sports about 11 years ago. I’ll take breaks here and there, but somebody on this thread spoke to WHY I smoke. It’s literally to combat boredom. And at this point it was like a reflex even if I truly didn’t wanna smoke I did because of reflex and because I had time to spare. Iv always known how bad smoking is, but this video as well as you guys definitely made me quit. I honestly don’t think I’ll ever stop completely. But I wanna make it a healthier habit like drinking alcohol which I only do maybe a hand ful of times a year ( less than 4 times, don’t really like to drink) it’s only socially. But smoking just because your bored is somthing I had to stop doing it was restrictive, I do feel more anxiety, and feel a lot more like myself in socializing.
Sometimes people need to take gratitude to what they have they often take for granted. Being able to breathe air with a properly functioning pair of lungs itself seems like a great thing to me.
I mean, 90% of the time damaged lungs if because of your own stupid decisions.
I grew up in second hand smoke. Not only that but my parents would allow us to have cigarettes if we rolled so many cigarettes for them. In other words we were given 1 cigarette per every 20 we would roll for them. Over half of my siblings went on to become heavy smokers, developing COPD early in life. This is where I say “there but the grace of God go I.” Watching an autopsy of smoker’s lungs in the sixth grade clinched it for me and I never smoked again. Unfortunately the damage was already done. I now have decreased pulmonary function and exercise induced asthma. I loved to run, but could never become great because of my compromised respiratory status. I finally had to give it up because the albuterol inhaler I would use to breathe would cause increased heart rate making it even more difficult to breathe. I love to garden but pushing wheelbarrows of mulch and carrying heavy things makes me wheeze. Do I wish I had never smoked, yes. Do I wish my parents did not subject my young developing lungs to second hand smoke, yes. When I see people smoking nowadays when everyone knows the health risks it makes me cringe. Why would anyone pay a billion dollar industry to kill them?
I never smoked but my parents did, and I have exercise induced asthma too. The thing that really helped with my lung function was stationary biking! I got a peloton a few years ago and I definitely can exercise a lot harder without having severe asthma symptoms, I even do a bit of running on a treadmill now. I still have to abstain when it’s too hot or if we’re dealing with wildfires or anything but I can do a 30 min bike ride without collapsing now.
Ooga booga brain says it feels good, ooga booga wants more. It's as simple as that. (Besides different life circumstances)
You should talk to your doctor about Singulair. It has helped my lungs a lot and leaves me with 0 breathing issues. Started talking it before bootcamp and didn’t have a single flare up

THANK YOU for giving attention to this simple yet misunderstood idea.

There needs to be new alternative ways to consume whilst still reaping the benefits that they provide.

As an avid weed smoker this video it's pretty informative
or even if you aren't.
Completely agree bro
Still much better to smoke weed than smoke tobacco: fewer chemicals, no cancer risk, and much better experience! Pretty much the only thing worse about smoking weed over cigarettes is the increased tar content, which is up to 2-4x higher than tobacco. Vaping herb or consuming edibles would produce less burden on your body: give it a try sometime! Peace.
As an avid weed smoker, I'm sure you would find a Teletubbies marathon pretty informative

As a retired Respiratory Therapist, I agree whole heartedly with you! Inhaling ANYTHING other than the purest air is bad for our lungs, and to pretend otherwise is to volunteer as a lab rat so that the bad effects can be discovered decades later. In fact, even pure air isn't that great for our lungs, because of the oxidizing effects of the oxygen on our tissues, but our lungs have antioxidants to minimize that. When a person gets older, lungs naturally become less flexible, respiratory muscles become weaker, and decreased production of antioxidants leads to greater damage done by the oxygen we need to live. It's NOT a good idea to add more damage on top of what father time already loads on our bodies!
This is reminding me to use edibles and tinctures more for my cannabis needs
There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.
I smoked more than a pack a day for 5 straight years and I loved every second of it. I quit cold turkey 2 days after I found out I was pregnant and I will never ever pick up another cigarette as long as I live. Best decision I've ever made. My son saved my life. Cigarettes will kill over half of its users. Think about that.
What about withdrawal

If you can get your friends to keep you honest it a helps a ton as well. A bunch of us quit nicotine by offering to buy games for guys who lasted more then 3 months free and 4 out of 6 are now nicotine free.
Thank you Justin. This is what iv been thinkin about all this time. I talked to somebody telling me smoking cannabis aint as bad as normal cigarets. But ever since that encounter im like.. but ur still inhaling burned material and fine particals, that is never a good thing. im glad you explain it for us and way better than i ever will be able to.
I grew up smoking with my cousins, and I smoked for almost 20 years. Also smoked a LOT of weed for most of that time. When I hit my 30s, I felt like my body had enough of me smoking and if I continued to smoke for another 10 years, I would start to really see harm. I used vaping to quit smoking and while that was effective, I could feel there was something not great about vaping. I finally quit vaping during the pandemic (also haven't touched weed in years), and I feel like my lungs started to feel "clean" a couple years after I quit vaping.
In my 30s too. Couldn't smoke or rarely could the last 4 years on federal probation after a couple years in prison. Was doing many harder drugs too so maybe that saved my life but started smoking again and I feel the same like nah I gotta stop doing this to my body.
Congratulations on quitting. I can't recall where I read or heard this, but I do remember it being said that when a person quits smoking, after a period of approximately 15 years, their lungs are practically indistinguishable from someone who never had smoked. Stay the course -- you're definitely on the right track!
I quit smoking tobacco, 19yrs ago & I'm glad I did. A dear friend of mine, just had surgery back in May. She had oral cancer. She survived the procedure, but it will take 6 to 9 months to heal. I lost a co-worker, who was also a friend, to lung cancer.
Most of my friends, used to smoke, but have since quit. Post smoking, I still suffered 2 strokes. The first one in 2009, the 2nd in the new year of 2018.
I'm a survivor of both, obviously. It could've been much worse, if I continued to smoke. I quit & never looked back.
Ive been smoking for 20 years (im 34 now). Ive tryed to quit my adiction a few times, with more or less sucesfully... Now Im trying it again since 1 month, but now I have mor conviction about how dangerous is it, and how many years Ive been smoking (and how many cigarretes ive smoked..). Thanks for this video, its helpfull to keep the force. Thankyou.
As a Respiratory Therapist, I thank you for this video!
I’m now happily smoke-free for six years. I smoked (cigarettes) for nearly thirty years! I thought I would never be able to quit. It’s important for anyone trying to quit smoking that they DON’T GIVE UP trying to quit smoking!! Don’t beat yourself up if you slip up; just dust yourself off and try again. And again. And once again… keep trying to quit until it sticks. And it will eventually. I’m living proof of that! Great video! 👍👍

they saved you from death bud, let's be honest here mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet I wish people could all realize. they can solve a lot of problems, more than mental treatments.

I started smoking cigarettes at 14 and weed at 17... At 20 i was smoking almost a pack a day. It was very, very hard to stop but after multiple attempts i could quit at 26. I coped with nicotine patches and gums and litters of tea. I completely stopped nicotine 4 years ago but i still drink 2+ litters of tea a day and i don't think i will ever stop (my doctor say it's a good trade). I still have dreams where i smoke cigarettes and i wake up panicked because i feel like i started smoking again and i need to go through withdrawal all over again. Don't start please.

I clicked on this video SO FAST. As a chronic asthmatic, smoke (and strong smells in general) flare my lungs up. Even the subtle lingering smell of smoke on someone's clothing after smoking outside can affect me on a bad day. Smokers have NO idea how negatively they can affect the people around them. Thank you for talking about this.
Another thing about cannabis, if you are dabbing concentrates there isn’t combustion, tho inhaling hot vapors isn’t good for you, if you have a temp reader and you go in at recommended temperatures rather than just randomly going red hot it will definitely play a roll in the way you will feel over time, another thing is most dispensaries do not want to produce the cleanest healthiest product they simply want money, most concentrates they make contains butane or propane to get the most possible outcome while adding unatural terpenes for taste, while with solventless concentrates that aren’t very common and quite expensive at dispensaries are completely natural processes including water,ice,heat and pressure are much better for you, I would dab BHO on red hot quartz which means 800°+ and it’s absolutely terrible for you, definitely could feel pains in my chest until I studies more into it

Hi Justin, thanks for another great video. I want to let you know another main result of smoking is bladder cancer. I was diagnosed last December with muscle invasive bladder cancer. I'm nearly 62 & was a smoker more or less since I was 15. I only ever stopped when I was pregnant and breastfeeding. The moment I was diagnosed I gave up the cigs completely. I did use nicotine patches for 1 week. I'm now almost 4 month's post op, of having my bladder removed along with a complete hysterectomy and the removal of my lymph nodes. I now have a ileal conduit made from part of my bowel which is attached to the outside of my abdomen into a stoma & it's through this I wear an urostomy bag.
I see myself as being very lucky that the cancer hasn't spread anywhere else. The reason why my surgeon gave me the hysterectomy & removed my lymph nodes is because that's where the cancer 1st's spreads too once outside of the bladder.
It's been a very long & rough 4 months recovery.
Everything was removed through a mid-line wound starting from my navel to my pelvis & I'm still having problems as it's been very, very slow in healing. It's not quite there yet. Trying to get used to an urostomy bag & all that goes with it is a whole other story.
I've also just watched your video on hysterectomies & found it fascinating. I was wondering if you maybe could do a video on a female bladder please? Also too on a male bladder as theirs are completely different & in men, bladder cancer from smoking is very common.
I'd never heard of bladder cancer until my diagnosis. Apparently it's a very common cancer, it's just not one that gets much-needed attention.
Thanks again for the great videos guy's I learn so much & am always eager to know more.
Much love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤
One cancer patient to another, there's a cancer for everything under the sun. Every damn part of the human body that can try to kill someone is very able to mutate and do so. It's a sobering realisation for sure.
I'm sorry you were born in that generation where everyone smoked. I'm 25 and I know very few people my age who smoke. Some of them vape though, and for the kids younger than me, everyone vapes... I guess I was born at just the right time. Or not because of the genes causing my cancer but that's a whole other thing haha 😅
My dad passed away in 2017 at the age of 70. He did smoke for over 50 years, from 15 y.o until 65. He had several COPD, arteriosclerosis and so many other issues.

I had already cut back quite a bit since my college days, but that drove me to stop completely. I still occasionally have edibles but never smoke.
You should look into dry herb vapes
@@Amlikvape is the worst thing you can do
@@jacoboreilly7526 not herb vaping
@@jacoboreilly7526it isn’t a nicotine vape. Dry herb vape is a type of lil mini oven you put your bud into. Hit a button so it heats it up and burns it so you aren’t getting any negative feelings or combustion, and you’re good. It’s a lot more healthier than smoking bud in a bowl or anything else.
@@Amlik that is probably one of the worst ideas ive ever heard
Still half way through the video, but I'm catching the vibe that we should all just consume edibles instead.

I have been on and off with quitting and its been so hard. This video is what I needed to remind myself why I have to stop and start consuming cannabis in edible form to avoid ingesting any type of smoke in my body. God bless the "Recommended for you".. its like it knew I needed to watch this!
Just avoid it altogether. You can do it, all you have to do is unleash the achiever who’s inside you. You’re keeping it dormant with all these substances that serves you absolutely no good.
Amen brother@@renaldsunset
Thank you for reminding me to not give up quitting. I have been smoke free for about 3 1/2 years but started again when my stepdad passed away. That's three years ago now and I have had multiple attempts of quitting, making it for about 2 weeks max.
Right now I'm sitting on my sofa, having a cold (the 4th or 5th this year, probably because of my immune system being shit from smoking and vaping) not wanting to smoke and I hope I make it this time!
Wish me endurance.
btw. the quality of your videos is super good and I really enjoy learning more about our anatomy from you. Keep up the nice work
I believe in you and I’m quitting smoking as well. We can do it together! Mind over matter is key
@@kurtwillmakeyahurt7411 we‘re in it to win it! Thanks for the Kind words. We‘ll make it ❤
Soooo grateful for you guys and all you do, to serve such a broad public audience, and to make education that matters so accessible. I can only imagine how many people (myself included) that these videos impact and ignite positive habit changes. Also happy to be reading and hearing more and more of the actual science coming out about negative impacts on smoking weed. When I used to smoke weed pretty regularly I'd tell my doctors, and theyd brush it off and wouldnt make any comments regarding my health, which at first didn't mean anything to me, but later didn't seem to make sense, due to exactly what you guys say: breathing in ANYTHING besides air, let alone ashes, is not healthy for anyone. Addiction is so powerful, it will excuse these objective truths...but this video is very radical for that, and makes me smile knowing it exists :)
Glad to hear you enjoy our content and this video! Our hope is that our content can assist people in making better decisions with their body, or at the very least, having a greater awareness around what’s happening to their body.
Great poop review
Sounds like a crock nice Fairy tale your saying you told your Dr you smoke weed and he said eh no biggie? either you werent listening , or you have a bad doctor lol if you thought smoking anything was not going to have negative effects then you just need to learn to not be ignorant , Weed has a bad way of becoming a habit and plenty abuse it in that sense , but if you need pain relief or stress relief you can Take edibles or other non smokeable ways man
When I was 22 years old, I had a very vivid dream that I was terminally ill with lung cancer from smoking. In this dream my kids and wife were crying yet at that time I did not have a GF. This was when I stopped smoking because is scared the living hell out of me. I'm 62 now and going strong and never touched a smoke since.
Incredible. Like a prophetic vision!
Crazy. I had similar dream and that lead me to quit smoking, alcohol and even junk food
You got that family tho right?
@@historyismetal2187 Yep

My doctor told me the same thing back in 1979 when I presented with a chronic cough after smoking cannabis. That stuck with me. With the exception of a couple of times thereafter, I stopped smoking. I was not at any risk of tobacco use. I took a drag off of a cigarette once and found it especially vile.
That was most likely from shitty cannabis with mold, bugs, or pesticides. There's a peer reviewed study showing that cannabis causes no harm to your lungs compared to tobacco smoke. The creators of this video seem to be ignorant about this study. (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1277837/) Tobacco contains 25 naturally occurring nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Cannabis contains no carcinogens and actually the cannabinoids in cannabis fight cancer. The study showed that tobacco weakens the lungs immune system and increases risk of cancer while cannabis has the opposite effect and acts as a protectant. The only carcinogens come from burnt plant matter and due to it being a small amount of plant matter it's not as harmful as believed. I've been smoking for 10 years and my lungs are still in perfect condition.
I'm trying to get my mom to stop smoking. I have been for years. She's worried that she'll fall to a worse vice (talking abt short-term results instead of long-term health problems) and perhaps this video will help finally. You have a very gentle and kind way of explaining without making the viewer feel bad or stupid so while I translate for her, I'm sure she'll understand from your tone and facial expressions even if my translation isn't as colourful as your presentation 😂
I’m trying to do that too and I am clueless as to what I should do to stop her from smoking. Nothing helps and she is just stubborn, do you have any ideas or what have you tried so far?
I’d love to hear from you!
@@AnaesthesiaDoc well, the main reason she's been considering it (she HAS cut back on how much she smokes) is mostly money because cigs are very expensive 😭 so there's that, maybe you can point out that you'd be able to have more money to the side without cigarettes. Another is pointing out that she'll feel better without smoking, even if it takes some time. My boyfriend had a bit of a hard time but it wasn't as terrible as he feared. That was encouraging for my mom but she's still worried about wanting to eat more or less, turning to sugar, the fact that she can't chew gums because of her weak teeth, fear of turning to alcohol and other such things. I am fully willing to help her find alternatives such as going for a walk instead or writing poems (bc my mom really likes writing) or doing some light exercise and such. Even playing a boardgame! I think it's just important for us to a) present the facts without terrifying them and b) help them be less afraid of making the change and supporting them through it without judgement and with patience :) my mom is extremely stubborn too, so it took her some time to accept that she wants and needs to stop smoking. It also helped that I hate the smell and she truly does believe the dangers of secondhand smoke and she'd do anything for me and our cat. I helped her by pointing out her small successes like when she started smoking less even if it wasn't a huge difference
It’s good to know. I don’t plan to end my weed habit, but it’s definitely good to have a better understanding of the risks.
check out dry herb vapes. specifically storz and bickel
I love this. I was highly dependent on weed from 17 to 23. I quit a month ago for my second time and have felt a complete 180 in my personality and in my health. I could never breath out of my nose and now I can, I’m socially more confident and outgoing and my physical health has increased. I’ve been working out for 5 years but my lungs and air ways were always shot. Now I feel like I’m getting a better quality of air flow. I felt schizophrenic, anxious, and like my mood was very irregular. Now I’m feeling so much better, I know it’s been a month but I have no desire in the slightest to go back, I’m happier now.
Dude same! I quit weed a week ago, and started working out three months ago my mood, confidence etc is soooo much better. I’ll never go back and I cut out sugar and processed food
@@chancefoy6287 Good for you dog. Keep up the work on yourself. Eating whole foods helps so much, food is fuel.
Epic moment
Keep that up. I've never smoked but I hate that people pretend that doing it is harmless. I noticed the difference in friends and others who smoke.
This is inspiring me. I’ve smoked for almost 8 years now and I’m tired of how it makes me feel. I think it’s time for a change.
Watching this feels like such a victory lap if you are completely clean from smoking or vaping anything. To anyone watching this because they are scared, I wish you good luck and know that quitting is totally worth it.
Absolutely 😊I almost feel superior bc I was able to quit
I would like to hear you talk about the effect of THC at different tolerance levels. My personal experience points to a maximum high (intensity and duration) being achieved from a minimal dose on a minimal tolerance. It’s also my experience that it’s very difficult to stick to a minimal usage plan. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
TELL ME ABOUT IT🤣🤣🤣IF I TAKE A 3DAY T BREAK ALL I NEED IS 1 BOWL && IM GONE OUTTER SPACE💯ITS THE 3 DAYS THAT SUCK🤣🤣🤣
What about the right amount of heat?
Perfect timing. 2 days since I've quit smoking weed. I've attempted many times. Thank you 🙏🏿
Keep it up! Put that money and mental clarity to good use.
Best of luck! I know how hard recovery can be (I’m in the process myself, so I get it), but just remember you aren’t alone.
If you miss weed and have access to edibles, they are a safe (packaged sources from states where it is legal specify amount of THC) and smoke free.
After having a few heart attacks, I gave up smoking anything.
It has been decades, but I still have problems with lung function, short of having to have supplemental oxygen, but there are times I need to do deep breathing to catch my breath.
If I could go back in time, I would set myself down and get me to understand how bad it is to smoke.
Nothing more, just that over anything that would give me wealth and power, as that isn't where happiness is.
Came here to comment 1 year later. I've been a smoker for a smoker for most of my youth. Did everything i could to quit it. Then i saw this video. Honestly there's nothing in this video that i hadn't seen before, but somehow due to this vid, its like a switch went off in my head. And i quit immediately. Cold turkey. Very very rare cravings after that.
So now I'm proud to say, I'm 1 year smoke free, thanks to this channel. Good job guys! I'll be forever grateful ❤
As someone who used to smoke, I quit all smoking habits weed and tobacco im so glad you brought this information cause you are right all smoke is bad.
I know it's not easy to quit smoking but to anyone struggling to quit, here's what worked for me.
Start small; count one day no smoke, two days no smoke and so on. And yes you will fail many many, many times and it's okay it's part of the process. If you have friends who are smokers tell them that you are trying to quit so they can help you by not smoking next to you and stuff like that.
When that time comes when you fail to resist that urge and end up lighting another cigarette, reset the counter and write down how much regret you feel for giving in after all that time you were doing so well. And each time you want to give in again read what you wrote the last time you gave up and remind yourself that it's not worth repeating what you will regret again and again. And remind yourself that it is not worth resetting the counter especially when you are breaking your previous records.
You will reset the counter many many times, but It's okay to fail just make sure you keep breaking your previous records.
I too failed countless times but this way I kept myself from smoking (not even a single puff) for 3.6 years now 1315 days to be exact. Yes I'm still counting because even now the urge to smoke visits me from time to time.
So, if you want to quit, know that the earlier the better.
I hope this helps and if it doesn't, find another way that works for you. Just don't give up. Good luck.
Keep up the good work! It took my heavy smoker mom about 5 years abstaining before the urge was totally gone and she found smoke smell to be offensive. You're almost there.
The way I quit for good: after smoking the first cigarette of a pack I kept that open pack in my jacket pocket, and EACH time I went for another I talked myself out of THAT ONE! It wasn't long before I no longer desired to have a smoke, though, I kept the pack in my pocket.
In fact, I kept it in my pocket so long, as a reminder I 'chose' not to smoke, that when someone had asked me if I had a cigarette, and I gave them one, they complained it was stale! That's when I finally threw them away. 😛😹😺 That was early 1990's. 💖🙌😺
I quit smoking cannabis daily and switched to making cannabis tea and ive noticed a lot of the benefits are more potent with none of the uncomfortability that comes with smoking. Im also a vocalist so putting less stress on my lungs and heart has helped me feel more creative and happier because the smoke no longer effects me negatively. Ill still smoke but not nearly as often as i used to. I much prefer the edibles/drinks for thc/cbd. Thank you for the educational content 🙏 keep it up!
Thats gay
@@aidsfaceyoure gay
@@aidsfacewell then shit, I may gotta get some of that gay tea.
Does is smell? I imagine it does preparing.. But like if its already prepared and served could I walk into my house with a cup and drink it unnoticeably? I hate the reek of burnt weed. I've noticed vaping is really hurting my lungs, I don't need anyone telling me that. So the only edible I tried didn't make me feeling anything at all.
@Rabiiid yeah they just legalized it recreational in the state I live in, so you can buy the gummies and seltzers w/ THC at the stores, too. It is very discreet 😆 the most potent edibles I've had were medicinal grade or made at home. Hopefully you can quit vaping and find alternatives to get high if it's hurting you 💪
I am currently in the process of quitting smoking and drinking, after almost being left by my wife twice this year already.
These are really sneaky demons, I am not what you consider the lower class, I'm an IT guy, I have a car, a decent job, but you begin with a beer, then two, then three beers, then a bottle of wine and years later you find yourself chugging 2 liters of wine each night and having fights with your loved one based on imaginary scenarios.
And it's always there, like a splinter in your mind, maybe I'll only drink each 3 days, or once a week, you do that, then slowly you're back drinking daily. The only way is to completely cut it off suddenly.
It does mess up your mind and you do start doing weird and bad stuff, I would have never thought I'd do or say the things I've done or said this year. I never do anything any more, I never go out, I never repair anything around the house, I don't clean any more... My YT channel is dead... I had the power to see that alcohol was the only reason why we're not as we used to be and while's she's away at her parents, I told her that if I ever drink again, she can leave me.
We do have our issues and we need to discuss and solve them, but every time that alcohol is involved... the discussions lead to disaster.
To hell with these... I'm drinking tea from now on. And if you have trouble to go to sleep and use booze for this, try lavender tea, it's awesome and has a powerful natural sleeping inducing effect.
This video is awesome. I quit smoking cold turkey before the new year. I hope by sometime next year the damage smoke has done over the years can be undone.
This vid helped me quit too.
Many smokers don't think twice about inflicting their smoke on me. They also throw their cigarette ends on the road and pavement, creating litter. It's a level of selfishness that I find intolerable and incomprehensible.
No one talks enough about this!!
I agree that people not being mindful of others when smoking is bad but cigarettes butts are bio degradable.
As a smoker, I approve of this message.
But in some countries it's socially acceptable and you should tolerate others smoking, it's actually unacceptable if you 'read them the lesson' not to smoke even though you are doing it for your own health which you should have right over...I was in Macedonia for some time and literally anyone smokes anywhere, anytime, any age. Like you literally are in people their smoke during any activity. You are in the bus, the bus driver smokes, you are eating out the people next to you smoke. People literally standing there with a baby smoking. They don't give a fuck. I really don't get how such countries can be healthy.
@@nicochan1537
Tobacco is a means of control. Of course those countries made it socially acceptable. They only care that the slaves are compliant.
I'm not the compliant-type, and I will look down on someone who smokes as someone lacking O2, poisoned by mutagens and carcinogens, sluggish, ineffective and just generally lesser. You think I'm going to rely on someone that does that stuff? Heck no. Also, Europe is full of unreliable bums. Not a people I'm interested in emulating.
I've been watching you guys for a few months now and I've ALWAYS enjoyed all of them. Hearing you were/are a Marine, just puts icing on the cake!
It's good to know that there are fellow Marines out there in this field and spreading great information. Semper Fi, have a Dan Daily day, keep up the great work, and I need to chill out on smoking cannabis lol
Cannabis has good and bad qualities, and I've always thought inhaling smoke was both unnatural and simply a bad idea. The positive effects for me have so far always outweighed the negative, but this is invaluable information for anyone to know, IMO. Glad this video exists
Edibles are cool, altough the only time I've add them the urge to sleep was so potent that doing anything but struggling not to pass out on the floor was close to impossible
I prefer psychedelics

I went through a period of cannabis addiction (now I still use it but more rarely), at some point I accepted that my near daily use wasn't disappearing any time soon and bought a dry herb vaporizer. Best health decision I could've made (aside from quitting maybe..).
Hell yeah, Storz Bickel
I started smoking weed at 18 years old, and continued doing so on a regular basis until May of this year. I quit because I was starting to get paranoid about it's effects on my mental state as well as the effects on my body from the long-term usage. I would sometimes smoke 3-4 bowls a day, and I started developing heavy breathing and a bad cough. Ever since I quit, my breathing has improved greatly and my overall quality-of-life as improved. I think cannabis can be beneficial if used infrequently and on occasion, however the feeling of being high can be addicting and over time can start to become something you rely on for anxiety or stress, which can lead to further addiction. TL;DR : Use cannabis at your own risk. If you have great self-control and other means to relieve your anxiety and stress, then by all means smoke weed. Otherwise, just be cautious and set weekly limits for yourself. And don't smoke cigarettes.
Self control is important but maby eating edibles is better than smoking it
@@f2t948 I won’t lie with you, I started smoking again not too long after this comment. I agree with you completely on edibles. They might be more expensive depending on how much you do a day, but I think the price and health benefits (compared to weed) balance everything. Question : you do think dabs are a safe alternative? I have a rig, and I used to dab all the time. My only problem was I’d hit the wax too hot.
@user-nz9rl1tk4i the flaw in the logic you typed is that alcohol and tobacco are legal
I loved this. It was super insightful. I'm a regular cannabis user but it's vital to know the risks and cut down. Could you please do a video on infused edibles and their effect?
As a za user I'm always forward to seeing educative videos like this about smoking it, helps me decide on a better way to ingest it without damaging my body with these chemicals, thank you I think I will switch to edibles instead...
I knew this one guy from high school, and when I asked them, why do you smoke? It's not good for you. He replied, "Smoking helps clean your lungs." Who knows whatever happened to him to this day... hopefully, he still has his lungs.
WOW! TALK ABOUT BRAINWASHED! 😱😣😒
Hahaha epic, yes even I had met such guy during my college days who use to believe smoking cleans up your lungs from bacteria😁
obviously the guy was just messing with you.
Thank you for not being a total hater on cannabis and for recognizing it's medicinal potential
but we should still remember the inherent risks that cannabis has for the human brain
What if we could eat weed, so that should keep the lungs healthy?

Haha in the same boat. Been around it my whole life and always loved the smell but after quitting, for some reason it smells and taste like shit now
I quit smoking this year, switched to edibles and I've noticed a gradual improvement in my overall health this video justifies my decision. It's really easy to make your own infused snacks and it's cheaper than having to buy an OZ every two weeks making it a win win situation.
thank you guys for this video. I quit smoking cannabis (daily user) about a year ago because I finally changed my living situation and didn't need to rely on it for emotional and physical regulation. I was getting pneumonia every winter, got gingivitis, and constantly wheezed, but I kept justifying it by saying it was better than cigarettes, that I wasn't doing harder substances. I'm glad that I have such a solid resource to learn about why my decision to quit was a good one.
It was a huge deal and very difficult to quit, but I am so glad I did. My body is finally back to a relatively normal baseline. My mind is so much less foggy.
i recently stopped because i overdosed and had a psychotic episode 🫡
Quitting wasnt easy for me but it was so worth it! Being a tobacco smoker i wasnt able to be who i felt like i really was. Now i feel so much better physically and im not clearing my throat every 10 seconds like an old man 😂
