Rest In Peace Brian. Thank you for your message, and for not being in denial.
This is so sad. I feel so sorry for the wife. My brother-in-law had a heart attack from smoking. He was in a wheel chair but still smoked. Always in denial. Half a yr later, he suffered a stroke and was half paralyzed. That was when he finally quit due to the inability to smoke. I remember it was really hard on my sister. She became his caregiver round the clock. A year later he passed away.
Smoking is not a joke people. It's the most addictive thing in this universe. Its selfish and hurts all your loved ones. Think about them and quit. If you are young, dont ever start.
I'm just thinking COVID-19. I'm scared to loose my wife. I don't want her to get sick. I love my wife beyond all the galaxies and beyond all the stars. She's the only star in this universe that keep my heart warm and glowing. I love you sweetheart. Stay strong through this moment in our life where we need each other the most. I'm praying for you my love. She's in Indonesia and I'm here in United States of America. I miss her so much. 🙏🏻❤️
So beautiful! I wish someone loved me that way! Such a lucky lady! God bless you both!
Ironically I don't believe you were thinking at all
This kind of love is very hard to come by. What a lucky guy ❤️
It wasn't that long ago when every hospital had ashtrays in every room except pediatric and even the cardiologist came into the room with a cigarette between his lips.
So happy to see he is still alive and doing good after his surgeries and quitting smoking. Thank you for your service and being in these anti smoking commercials Brian!
RIP Brian H! Died December 14, 2022.
Thank you Brian for your services in the Air Force
I'm 45. Tuesday the 7th was 1 month tobacco free after 25 years. I don't need a COPD diagnosis-it became apparent years ago. Right now it's damage control. All I can do is pray nothing went cancerous before I quit and that the tar clears after a decade. In the meantime, that toxic slime remains, coating everything.
Some people never catch a break in life,. Be grateful about your health, you never know when it will go
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry for all your suffering. The video is helping my 8-year-old twins understand that smoking is bad and only leads to health problems.
Thank heavens I quit when I did it's been over a year doing great
Kind of sad that she had to quit parts of her life because her husband was careless enough to not take care of himself and her family properly. Sounds rough, but most of the times the hurt we cause is due to our selfishness.
you don’t understand how much cigarettes smoking was normalized. way more than vaping these days and i’m sure these guys will pay later too
You have a strong wife I wish you both the best in life
God bless you!! Our prayers are with you both. Everyone is worried about the coronavirus, yet heart disease kills 500k people a year. Besides smoking many people eat fried chicken between two donuts. Rich
Hey Brian
You have gone through so much and you should be thankful that you quit smoking!
Who downvotes this? Seek help.
There are no rules as to why someone thumbs the way they do. You hate this happened to him? Thumbs down.
Smoking is terribly selfish.
And an addiction. Judgement is too.
RIP Brian (1954-2022)
So sad hope you all get better news.
Rest In Peace, Brian😢
God bless him🙏🙏
Love is one of humans greatest gifts in life, it comes from the heart. I have nothing but respect for the lady, whom will do anything to help the man of her life. You keep fighting mate your wife wants you 😀😃.
Very sad! I wish family members ,THINK about how stressful it is to their family members, when they continue to smoke and fill their lungs with TOXINS and the tremendous amount of stress it causes their caregivers! And you just don't know with life nowadays. I'm sure with COPD, it can be somewhat controlled. But now with the Corona virus and the hospitals overwhelmed, it will be very difficult to receive care, with hospital beds and equipment being used for patients with Corona that need the care. Sorry! Smoking is a CHOICE, Corona isn't!! So those that have health issues due to smoking, should be worried about what can happen if they need medical care! I HOPE this is a "wake up call" to all that smoke and that they make the decision to quit!! NO EXCUSES!! Just quit, if you want to live longer to be with your family and enjoy your life.
I’m 66 and I have smoked for over 40 years. I recently quit 3 months ago. I just stopped (cold turkey), I’m not experiencing any severe craving but I noticed I’m a little cranky. I would like someone to tell me when you begin to feel better and less irritable. I’ve never had health issues from smoking and never felt bad because of smoking. But I do not feel great now after quitting like they say you are supposed too. I’m wondering if it is really worth the effort at my age. I only stopped because of the cost.
Are you better now? Or have you started smoking again
Well my Father has stage 4 lung cancer caused by smoking and my Step-mom is a nurse and retired and she is his care taker now as well. But she still smokes and when I went to visit for a month it did make me sad and mad. He has to sleep in the living room and that’s where she sleeps to. My dad got to retire for 3-4 years then cancer came. Smoking is the stupidest thing a person can do.
Agree, however once a diagnosis comes judgement is the last thing we need.
The VA didn't do shit for my Uncle or cousin. These people are evil.
My cuz was 10th Mountain in 1992 Somalia had a rocket grenade blow up in his Humvee. No help whatsoever. My Uncle was in the Nevada Tests Operation Plumbbob. Didn't help either of them.
I am so grateful that I was able to quit
Idk how to deal with that
They are wife and husband as we are sister.
Why y’all put this when there’s a virus you need to keep up updated about
Because during the virus, some people may start smoking again, with not much else to do.
I took care of my husband he had copd
hey from kurdistan of Iraq!
he did it
his wife looks so different
Oof
Why CDC is showing Fear Propaganda?
because smoking is bad
It's not fear.. it's reality. Heart attacks, stroke, cancer, amputations, chronic organ failure, COPD, and the severe addiction to nicotine all occur as a result of smoking. How else would you suggest the CDC get the message across?
"I'm just scared now." ..... because power doesn't exist, fear is used for control. You're sheep.
Don't smoke kids 👍 both literal and metaphorical costs involved
Smoking is stupid. Says so on the box.
