15 cigarettes a day for 21 years, started when I was 11. On my 3rd day of cold turkey. Your video along with a few others I watched really helped. I wish everyone the best of luck quitting that sees this!
I'm facing the possibility I may have lung cancer from smoking 53 years. I have tried many times to stop. This time I'm going to quit . It's hard . I pray I don't have cancer. I pray for everyone who's going to quit. Thanks for the video. I'm going all the way this time.
I'm so very sorry. I hope you are doing OK. Hugs. You've got this! You can do it. If it helps I'm anxiously waiting on chest xray results and am going to quit starting today too.
Sorry for your struggle I smoked over 50 years myself a friend sent me the book. ALLEN CARR'S EASY WAY To quit smoking if you can accept what he tells you and follow his instructions it works and it can actually be easy been smoke free for little more than 2 months quit weed and cigarettes the same day. Can't stress enough you have to get your mind right kill the big monster! You'll know what I mean if you read the book truly wish you success and happiness Prayers help too. Best wishes
don't make it public that you are about to become a BOSS! I gave up smoking after 15 years, 6 months ago. The only reason i have lasted this long this time, is because I didn't tell a soul what i was doing, and have owned it personally since, like a BOSS! If you tell people you are quiting, they can potentially fuck you up so leave everyone out of the equation (unless you are blessed with a cheerleader family/friend circle). fuck smoking! FUCK SMOKING!!!!
That 14% of people were the only ones who understood and heard what this dude was saying the rest were either blazing their smoke or didn't understand shit this dude was saying
I am 8 days in and still going strong. Some very hard cravings, especially in the evening. I can't really avoid trigger-situations because that would mean I would live on the street. I was a smoker for 7 years, the last 2 yrs were a secret. Everybody thinks I quit a long time ago.
day 500 is difficult as day 1.. i stopped for 6 months (180 days ) and re started cause everyday i was tempted to try just one cigarette, but that one makes you start
Well done & keep it up + Alpha16212. I'll have been quit 5 years in August the 14th this year. Quitting is the best thing I have ever done. Starting smoking was the stupidest thing that I ever did.
It's going brotha! How about yourself? And to answer your question, I'm still smoke free since July, 4 2016. After watching this video, something clicked and gave me the power to literally stop. I'm sure the prayers helped too! ;)
faith is an amazing tool im a freethinking Buddhist amen to you and our and all beings and Bodhisattva's glory be to the one god and free our self from madness
I want to stop smoking so bad . I hate everything about it . I hate the money i spend on it , I hate the way my skin looks , i hate the way i have no energy all the time , I hate the way it smells , i hate knowing the health risks that i'm taking , the coughing , most of all i hate how its making me feel older and weaker . I want my energy back . I want to feel like a kid again .

I smoked my last cigarette on my terms January 5, 2018. I smoked a lot, for 37 years. Not even a puff. I’m pretty sure I’ll never smoke again. If I can quit, anyone can…
+Ionut Sebastian Diaconu 2 wks now and I'm still smoke free :) it's been a lot easier than I thought, lots of gum and mints. The wrinkles on my face really scared me and I'm only 29. Now 80% my wrinkles have disappeared around my eyes and I've never felt better!
+Nia Wolfe well I smoked some during the nyears but only cus I was confident I will quit. I haven't smoked since and don't see myself buying another anytime soon if ever again.
I hope someone reads this. I smoked heavily for 35 years. Quitting, I thought was hard. Quit smoking, but got cancer anyway. Quitting smoking isn't hard. Dying of cancer is hard.
I wasn't smoking while watching this. I'm doing the exact opposite. I'm drinking water. its been a week and 2 days since I've smoked my last cigarette and I'm not going back.
Not good. I've been back and forth with it. My sister got run over and her pelvis is broken in 5 areas. She can't walk. She can barely move her legs with out being in pain EVEN ON MEDS. I'm so mad. More mad at myself than anything...
oh i am sorry about that... but these are the critical situations when we really have to fight the desire as they say as for me i am already afraid of thinking to quit and there is battle already in my mind... 40 cigs a day is gonna be hell of a thing to forget.. anyways good luck to you and wish me luck too... :)
I smoke an e-vape, so it's not thousands of chemicals but I need to stop that too. I hope you have good luck. It's easier when you're not thinking about it. Just keep your mind busy.
24 hours just past I'm feeling wide awake its 2am struggling sleeping wish me luck 4th time trying. Edit - it's now 1 month and 13 days and I feel great 😉😎😎 Edit- it's now 3 months, lungs feel completely free of crap and fitness levels and body is looking great! not to mention, my skin is the healthiest looking it's ever been. I don't crave at all now 😎 only when I drink 😅
it's been 14 years since i started smoking, i was a heavy smoker 2 packs a day and have tried to quit so many times but always end up in failure and continue to smoke again.. mainly it's because the price for cigarettes in my country is very cheap about $1 for each pack.. well, after i watched this video it gaves me some courage to quit smoking and start a healtier life.. wish me luck, guys..
Addy Paddy Tech indonesia.. i might exaggerating too much about the price, it's not really $1 for a pack.. maybe around $1,5 to $2 a pack, and if you're kind of broke you could buy them per each cigarette in a traditional street side kiosk.. and that's why we have so many heavy smokers in Indonesia..
I have tried quitting smoking about 100 times, sometimes I'll go one day, sometimes thirty days, sometimes three months, and here I go again! I can't even stand the Damned things! But, once I quit for an hour or so, I start the same process all over again! Pray for me that quit one day! Thanks! This doesn't even fade my desire to smoke!
I have been addicted to smoking for 46 years. I have tried to quit countless times but sadly the longest I was able to not smoke was 7 months. I love Jesus and hate this weakness about me. Talk about guilt and shame. I wasn't really thinking about quitting but I woke up Sunday morning not feeling well. I missed church. Found myself not wanting a cigarette. I decided if I could get through the first twenty four hours maybe I could beat this thing. There have been moments when I came real close to caving in to temptation but was able to push back. It's been 96 hours and with lots of praying, deep breathing, staying busy, sleeping, crying and listening to guided meditations like this one, I'm hanging in one day and sometimes one moment at a time. Your video helped me. Thanks!
Debra Noble Just hang in there girl. The desire fades as you resist and replace it. Everyday, one day at a time, prove the Christ in you and his ability to lift you out of the flesh (where the lying desire lingers), into the Spirit where freedom is 100% of the time. You can do it. I did it. It's been 4 years. I still have to deal with the thought coming to me tempting me, it's just that I've resisted for so long, I can yield to the Christ, Truth, and he lifts me out much easier now.
Never say never I quit for years believed I would never go back until a hardship came into my life and I reverted back to smoking. Make sure u don't use cigarettes for emotional support or u will go back.
I was a smoker for 20 years. The last 4-5 years of those 20 I kept saying to myself that I needed to quit smoking. I was smoking at least a pack but usually close to 2 packs a day. I kept digging inside of myself looking for a way to stop. I also believed that I was a devout person. I believed that I believe in and fear God. Then, sometime on my 18th or 19th year of smoking, I found a video that talked about that when people set out to do something for something that is sacred for them, they are usually more successful than when they set out to do it just for themselves. I thought this idea was very interesting. I kept thinking about it until I ran into the following passage in Psalm 1: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. After I understood this, I knew that I was contradicting myself. We can't say that we believe in God and smoke at the same time. I quit immediately after that cold turkey and since then I never wanted to touch cigarettes again.
Every hour you go without a cigarette is like winning the lottery (only smokers trying to quit will understand)! I'm proud of yall in this comment section with your 'short' time frames😎😎😎🤣👍👍👍!!! Seriously though; WE CAN DO IT! And no matter wether it's been two hours or, two months since you're last smoke (heck even 2 minutes); I'm going to celebrate with y'all and say CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🎊🎉🍾🎈🎂!!! And keep it up! You're gonna make it! Even if you slip up a couple of times; get right back in the ring and keep fighting! You're gonna WIN ❤️✊🙏!
I watched this 30 days ago... I haven't smoked in 24 days. So achievable. Oh, and by the way, the feeling of being able to run two miles feels much better than 20 cigs a day. Trust me.
to anyone that can get over smoking i applaud you. i have been smoking since i was 15 years old . that was 23 years ago. I have tried many times to quit with little success. I am at the point in my life where i feel like i'm chained to a wall unable to break free. That time is about to change. it's time to take control of my life again.
+Joyful Joy I get you, but it's not a good way of thinking. Sometimes I'll quit for a week or two and then buy a fresh pack of cigarettes. Wow, I just bought a fresh pack of cigarettes, can't throw these away, may as well smoke them up.
It didn't .. Or rather somehow it did? But amazingly I met up with a guy a friend's friend of mine .. I told him about my addiction and then he asked me if I'm seriously having this thought of quitting and if I'm determined .. I said yes.. He stood up walk over to my table and took my cigarette and bend it crush it .. And threw it into the ashtray .. And he said.. Well then.. U can start now then.. Funny.. It's like a wake up call.. Okay.. My cigarette is gone now.. I have to quit .. And voila! I quit!!! For 2 weeks and smoke back again😂 but well.. It's all because of a temptation.. I know I can quit again since I tried 2 weeks I can do even better this time! :)
I quit smoking and lost my girlfriend. My girlfriend Lori hated smoking but she put up with me. So I decided in name of my love for her, and to make her happy, I'd quit, and for 9 very difficult days, I laid them down. But to my chagrin, all she did was sarcastically snarl at me, "Well it's about time." Since she didn't care, this broke my heart and I couldn't help but relapse back into smoking again, and she then became downright hostile in how I'd done this. Well I told her, I thought she'd love me for to quit smoking and she'd hug me and profusely praise and thank me, maybe even throw a party to celebrate, what would have made me feel proud and strong for to have quit, but she never appreciated so much as to even one single time, thank me, what destroyed my motivation to stay smoke free. She didn't care if I quit smoking. She didn't care at all, and this started the big fight that broke us up. The way she hated smoking, I still do not completely understand
3 weeks. What has helped me a lot is a vege cap of L-tyrosine. It has taken away the meaness and the urge to smoke. Works good for me, one in the morning, one before bed.
i quit 40 days ago cold turkey,been smoking for 30 years ,it was rough the first few weeks for me,i can not tell you how good i feel now,it's unbelievable the great feeling,i regret not quiting earlier in life.
I smoked for 25 years and now I don't. How I quit? I forced myself to eat all of the cigarette butts in my ash tray!! Part of my tongue started to melt off on this side near the back molars. I also chained smoked about 3 cigarettes in about 10 minutes or so and I threw up!!! April 16th, 2015 is my quit date. I was done. I give God the praise and all of the Glory for giving me that chance to accept change.
I was a child when I had my first cigarette and I remember exactly that first time... I've been smoking for about 50yrs and hopefully I just had my last cigarette watching this video.... God help me quit
I've been smoking for about 20 years now and decided to stop after watching this video. I see people arguing the semantics about the video but at the end of the day he is trying to get you to stop. I won't say that this video made me stop but after one month I'm smoke free.
Ive been smoking for 20+ years. Havent been smoking for 6 days now. Its possible. And its not THAT hard. You just have to...maintain the situation. Quit coffee as well. Be productive. eat healthy, and stay positive.
True. My second day off cigs after 5 years. having a coffee nearly sent me to the shop and I had to manage the situation. hoping that after three or four days I will get some of my brain functionality back.
Today is day 6 for me not smoking,I have been smoking 20 years and quit a few times before,for me I have to avoid other smokers for a while because I had quit before for almost 3 months but started smoking again after hanging out with smokers
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about an easy way to give up smoking try Knewreck Smoke Magic Guide( search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Agreed. I encourage my participants to think more positively and think of smoking cessation as freedom from the burdens of nicotine addiction (Physical, financial, psychological).
I’ve been able to be smoke free for years. But I was always working, and traveled for work.so rarely home with my husband. Retired Smoking again within months. I continue to stop and do well, then within the first hour with my husband of 22 years I’m in a silent rage and want to break windows. So I smoke to save my windows, and hate myself.
I just found out I'm 12wks pregnant and im quitting cold Turkey today! I hope I haven't hurt my baby! I've been smoking for many years but I have to stop for my baby's health.. it's not gonna be easy but I have to do this..
This is a good video. I like how explained that it's not the cigarette that gives you the high, it's your own body working to make you feel better when you are smoking. The body is amazing.
My last smoke was on 5/8/2017 and your video clip played a huge role in the beginning for me to stay quit. I’ve watched this video over 100 times among a few other ones. Thank you!
@@Becky-ol4tm I don’t remember most of them as its been six years, but Allen Carr, Uncle Adams, and this one stick out. There were some animated ones that explained the benefits and challenges of quitting on a timeline. If you’re trying to quit, I recommend some type of breathing exercises and meditation. I remember every time I craved a cigarette, I just started deep breathing for a couple of minutes and the cravings would subside. I hope this message will give you a boost of motivation towards quitting if that’s your goal.
I have checked out virtually every piece of info I could to quit..this video..and it may be wishful thinking on my part, has totally changed the way I look at cigarettes. I am not even remotely interested in lighting up one right now...and hopefully ,that mindset will stay. Thank you so much for making the source of the real addiction clear to us!
I watched this video Saturday night and have not had a cigarette since. Today is Tuesday. I can hardly believe it. I used to smoke a pack a day for 35 years and god help the person who got in my way when I needed a cigarette. I came back to look for this guy but his website doesn't work. I came back to look over what he said because I have been using NLP for several months now to loosen up some of my resistance to quitting. It was working little by little because I was cutting down and I was opening up to being willing to quit. Somehow I found this video - I was not looking for anything about smoking, I think being an NLP practitioner, I was probably looking at something that had to do with Erickson Hypnosis... and this video popped up. I'm trying to analyze it now how that I remember looking at the title of it, I had 2 cigarettes left. I thought to myself, I'll watch this later after I smoke these and then just won't go buy any more. Like just in case it worked, well, I wouldn't have any more in the house. This would not have worked without the video because I would just walk across the street and get another pack. The one thing that got me was when he said, I'm not addicted to cigarettes but the endorphin response, that all made sense to me somehow. I also started thinking about power and freedom and not liking being controlled. But I know this alone wouldn't do it because I have an NLP coach who used that rationale on me over a year ago and although it made sense, it did not get me to stop. The urges were still there even if I wanted to quit, meaning, it would still be a struggle. This time it was not much of a struggle. The little urges that did come up were like little whispers. Not raging cravings that I am used to having. By the first 24 hours, with nicotine being out of my system, I finally got up the nerve to tell my husband I had quit and he is really shocked. I always hear the first 4 days were the hardest and I'm at the end of Day 3 right now. So I came back here to talk about it or learn more, etc. just to give myself something to do to make sure I get into Day 4. I am just so shocked I quit that I want to start to use my NLP and my experience to help others quit too. That's why I'm looking for this guy. I want to ask him about how he came up with everything he said in this video.
+Jeanette Bailey stop smoking group on internet---great support with counter and everything --cant think of name --just put stop smoking group in search box
Your concise explanation has been the final tool that I've been missing. I've almost completed day 3 without a cigarette, and I'm feeling so much better already, rather than being stressed because I haven't smoked. Knowing that the nicotine has been the source of my anxiety and not the cure, and that my endorphins are my own to release as I choose (which I am learning how to do) and not at the mercy of some foreign matter that my body doesn't even want has pretty much negated any withdrawal symptoms that I was afraid I would have to deal with.
I’m just back here to say that 9 years ago I watched this video under a certain psychodelic and I haven’t touched a cigarette since. I was in a country where psychedelics were legal.
I watched this in 2011, I can comfortably say, this video is a godsend. I haven't touched a single cigarette ever since. It's been a very difficult roller coaster but I finally did it and I feel amazing! I am blessed with my new beautiful wife and new lovely children. The old ones died from passive smoking but I survived. I can't thank you enough thehyponoticcoach.
I quit a ten year habit back in ‘97. Wow !!! I mean I’ve never thought about it the way you explained . About the Endorphins just building up and waiting for a cataylist to release itself in the body. I always thought that it was the body’s reaction to nicotine being forced into everything that a human being is made of. Good job of explaining the science behind smoking . Thank you for your time in educating society. Doug Fortner.
Thank you! Your explanation of the why we smoke and how the chemicals interact with our bodies has helped me tremendously! I’m 70 and have smoked on and off quitting for long periods but always return to it when drastically stressed. Now I know why. My mind is remembering the pleasure. I quit again a year ago and started cheating here and there. Now I’m determined to stay young and feel good and know even the occasional cheat is poisoning my body! I’ve been listening to sleep hypnosis each night for a week and although it’s helping somewhat it was your presentation, especially the body’s reaction to being poisoned, that has impressed me so much that today is the day! I will exercise or clean or simply read and relax when I need a break and keep re-playing your video in my mind. Wish me 🍀.
Honestly watching this video made me want to smoke more. I think the best advice to quit smoking is to completely distract yourself to the point where the cigarette doesn’t even pass through your head. Find something that distracts you.
My last cigarette was 9 days ago without the help of HRT. For the most part, I am experiencing withdrawal and I am also determined to stay stopped, as I feel better on day 9 and now realise that my years of constant smoking was slowly making me feel physically and mentally unwell. Plus, over the past 9 days, I have saved £65.
You're advice is right on. I watched your video 13 days ago and it has helped me to quit smoking. I've kept the mind set that I don't want the nicotine to draw me back in again of needing it over and over. I totally agree that smoking creates way more stress than it relieves. I quit for 14 years and it only took one puff off someone's cigarette and within weeks I was back smoking again. It has taken me 5 years now to finally quit again. Thanks for your video!!! It's made quitting much easier!!! I remember after I quit the first time after about a year there was nothing that would make me smoke again. I remember believing that with all my heart for the 14 years. Then one day someone really hurts my feelings and I take a puff. I will never do that again!!!
I am from England and a few days ago, I played in a volleyball match. When I preformed one of my jump serves, I saw the ball touch the opponet's side of the court with no opposition getting to it, I got a massive massive rush of endorphin chemicals and I felt so high from it..I rekon I got more than a smoker ever will! I got this just by playing sport..I am a proud non drinker, and non smoker..I have never tried any of them also.
James Crampton-Thomas To be 'proud' of never having had a smoke or a drink is a little absurd... not doing something that you've never tried in the first place takes no effort on your part whatsoever. It's not an accomplishment, and especially not at your (obviously) young age. If I can go 17 years without punching a nun, or cracking myself in the face with a bat, is that an accomplishment too? I would argue that a real accomplishment is sucking it up and quitting after a vice has a hold of you. If you're interested in not coming off like a smarmy dick, you might practice a little empathy. Example: I've never tried heroin, and I'm glad... but it took no effort. In fact, I'm damn lucky that I haven't experienced the kind of social and environmental deficiencies that drive other young people to do so. So I won't trivialize a plight I don't understand by saying "oh you don't need that smack, mate - just play a sport or do a hobby! Cause everyone in the world is privileged with the time and means to engage in leisure activities like me!"
"Empathy" for smokers, smokers are actually selfish by giving of their chemicals to those around them, now that is not just exposing yourself to an "environmental deficiency", but also a "social" one too. Now I can gladly say that I am proud that I am not the reason for such deficiencies as I don't smoke and give of the bad chemicals. Smokers are inviting death, non smokers are cheating a premature death..Now if you don't smoke, cheating such a disadvantage is an achievement.. ;)))
So if you haven't tried, how would you know? And I believe when one tries something, he needs to give it a good shot. I am not advising it though. Long term we know there are dangers. I played sports professionally and I know the rush, I don't believe it's endorphins, but adrenalin. A good cigar with great scotch or a glass of nice red wine is something totally different. I would not describe it as a rush.
James Crampton-Thomas Empathy for everyone is my point, boy. A time may well come when you have a problem of your own that a quick bout of volleyball won't fix. Karma's a bitch - you'll know it when it happens.
Its been a week without smoking , I'm having ginger drink and feeling so damn wonderful never felt like this before , I don't need it and so do you ...
Wow this really helps. I was planning on quitting in 2 days time after I get my prescription for recently diagnosed severe COPD. This video makes so much sense so I'm going to keep replaying this as needed and make the change one craving at a time, minute by minute or hour by hour and starting today
8 days strong after this video. Cottage cheese has been my saving grace. Thank you for the strong kind words. Hope you can help other people too. Thanks again!
just what i found to curve the craving just enough. left me with the bitter flat flavor. kept me busy for 5 mins. and was quick and easy. im today 4 months without any ciggerettes. i find myself busy cleaning and improving everyday with all my extra time. my biggest opsticle was the fact that ive smoked for lets say half my life. changing the habit was the hardest hurdle. the contant thought patterns i had while smoking had to be broken. having to find an all new routine was one of the trickiest parts about it. tons to say///ask away if you like.
yep I have quit after watching this video , 3 month ago and feel fantastic , thankyou very much you have changed and prolonged my life - God bless you sir
First time I watched I quite for three days. Second time I watched quite for week an half. This is my third time....Lets hope its a charm and I quite for good.
Great video thanks. My physical response to lighting a cigarette has become so acute that I would have hot flushes and anxiety. My body simply could not deal with the toxicity any longer despite the endorphin release which - as I understand - is released in cases of physical injury and/or poisoning. Your video helped me to focus on this idea. I also loved the use of the words empower and freedom. I once stopped for 4 years and when ask how I felt about it, my stock response was: It is the most liberating thing I have ever done! Another powerful point you make is that nicotine does NOT help stress - the endorphins help stress! I will focus on this going forward because the emotional stress trigger is what started me up again after 4 yours.
Been smoking for 20 years decided to quit today, also quit 'the chronic' 10 days ago. I am a stubborn man, i will keep at it. It is a bottomless money pit , and ive been having lung problems, like pains as of late. Hopefully i can do it and im not too late. Good luck to all you who struggle and are reading this.
At the beggining of this video I was kinda calling #thehypnoticcoach a bunch of crap, I'm on my third day and that feeling on the chest is really strong, but after watching the whole video I feel a lot better. This is not to quit smoke, but if anyone is already on to quitting, watching the video actually helps to understand that pressure you're feeling.
24 hours smoke free. a suggestion to those who want to quit, download and install some apps in your phone that's gonna keep you updated about what's goin' on in your body after the last cig. trust me, it's extremely helpful :)
I have been a smoker of 20-30 a day for 20 years, on my 7th day off the cigs now, its getting a little easier and videos like this really help to keep me feeling positive, thank you :-)
I watched this video 3 times through and now have been free from cigarettes , tobacco, nicotine for over two years now , this from a pack a day plus smoker for 25 years
I have COPD. Ive smoked for 35 yrs already. Ive tried to give up before a few times but to no avail. I manage 2 wks and then my willpower seems to crash. I will be trying again as ive noticed my condition seems to have worsened overnight and im sick of the anxiety now. Everytime I feel like a cig ive decided ill reward my lungs for a change and do some breathing exercizes, and month end treat myself to a wash and blow wave etc from the money saved! Thanks for a great vid! 😊
I am 26. Smoked first when I was 9. Got rid of this fucking habit 5 years back. Please please please don't smoke for the sake of the pain which is waiting for you.
How did you find out 14% of people gave up smoking by watching your video.. before you uploaded the video? And even after uploading the video, did you ask 390,749 people if they gave up smoking or not?
Have you considered the possibility that this isn't the first place this video has been shown? He said "95% of the people I've dealt with" he's clearly some sort of doctor or smoking support worker? Maybe 14% of his clients he has shown this video too gave up smoking and that's why he uploaded it? Just saying..😂
15 cigarettes a day for 21 years, started when I was 11. On my 3rd day of cold turkey. Your video along with a few others I watched really helped. I wish everyone the best of luck quitting that sees this!
Paradox this is all same current stats for me
Thank I watched second day 🙌 I hope it gets easier
So, what happened? 5 years later
I was successful 😌
@@citb289 still successful bro??
I'm facing the possibility I may have lung cancer from smoking 53 years. I have tried many times to stop. This time I'm going to quit . It's hard . I pray I don't have cancer. I pray for everyone who's going to quit. Thanks for the video. I'm going all the way this time.
I'm so very sorry. I hope you are doing OK. Hugs. You've got this! You can do it. If it helps I'm anxiously waiting on chest xray results and am going to quit starting today too.
Sorry for your struggle I smoked over 50 years myself a friend sent me the book.

How are you doing now? I have smoked 51 years.
I pray for u pal dearly.
@vickie Kent checking in on you to see how things are going
My last cigarette was 40 hours ago. Cold turkey. This time, I will succeed.
don't make it public that you are about to become a BOSS! I gave up smoking after 15 years, 6 months ago. The only reason i have lasted this long this time, is because I didn't tell a soul what i was doing, and have owned it personally since, like a BOSS! If you tell people you are quiting, they can potentially fuck you up so leave everyone out of the equation (unless you are blessed with a cheerleader family/friend circle). fuck smoking! FUCK SMOKING!!!!
Great point actually.
That 14% of people were the only ones who understood and heard what this dude was saying the rest were either blazing their smoke or didn't understand shit this dude was saying
I am 8 days in and still going strong. Some very hard cravings, especially in the evening. I can't really avoid trigger-situations because that would mean I would live on the street. I was a smoker for 7 years, the last 2 yrs were a secret. Everybody thinks I quit a long time ago.
Caribou0115 Buy a very tasty snack and eat it every time you feel for a cigarette.
smoked for 10 years a pack/day.. trying to quit... day 51 already :)
Alpha16212 how can you still call that trying
you right. He should be clear since then
day 500 is difficult as day 1.. i stopped for 6 months (180 days ) and re started cause everyday i was tempted to try just one cigarette, but that one makes you start
You have an extra $500 in your pocket. Whoo, hoo
Well done & keep it up + Alpha16212. I'll have been quit 5 years in August the 14th this year. Quitting is the best thing I have ever done. Starting smoking was the stupidest thing that I ever did.
Please pray for me as I try to stop smoking from this day forward. Amen for this video!
How is it goin' man? are you still smoke free?
It's going brotha! How about yourself? And to answer your question, I'm still smoke free since July, 4 2016. After watching this video, something clicked and gave me the power to literally stop. I'm sure the prayers helped too! ;)
That's amazing, good for you my friend keep it up!
faith is an amazing tool im a freethinking Buddhist amen to you and our and all beings and Bodhisattva's glory be to the one god and free our self from madness
Wishing you well and sending a positive vibe your way
I want to stop smoking so bad . I hate everything about it . I hate the money i spend on it , I hate the way my skin looks , i hate the way i have no energy all the time , I hate the way it smells , i hate knowing the health risks that i'm taking , the coughing , most of all i hate how its making me feel older and weaker . I want my energy back . I want to feel like a kid again .
Did you quit?
You took the words right out of my mouth. It is SO disgusting, yet it is legal. 😕 I wanna be DONE and hoping to gain some weight in the process!
@@trishdolan3455 Check out Allen Carr's "Easyway to Stop Smoking' book. You can find it on google under "Easyway to Stop Smoking pdf". It's also on Amazon.
Same here.
Heather i feel the same
44 years of Smoking. Quit on 23rd.Not any problem so far.
Enough is enough. Confident of kicking the habit.
Ajay Atri Damage is already done to your body sir, you might as well continue smoking!
me too, 44 yrs of smoking, I made a decision to quit, I am tapering with lozenges and the v2 ecig, its working I am seeing results in just 5 days
Look up The Easyway to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr! By far the best method! Makes the process fun!
Ajay the best of luck to you,,, I quit 6years ago,, I am so proud of myself,,,you will be too,. ☘️☘️☘️
Good 4 you, I need to quit so bad, hope you are still smoke free...
I smoked my last cigarette on my terms January 5, 2018. I smoked a lot, for 37 years.
Not even a puff.
I’m pretty sure I’ll never smoke again.
If I can quit, anyone can…
how did you do it?
Star Traveler,
I used the nicotine patch. Trust me, the first two weeks were still difficult. But you just have to make yourself do it.
Can't believe you still replied, good on you man. I hope I can quit too
mannotter,
Who me??
@@vh8765 yeah you!
I AM GOING FOR IT! QUIT COLD TURKEY ! CAN PEOPLE here support me with this decision?

Yea i got cold turkey in my freezer its cold af
It IS possible I've done it
I support you homie
Ofcourse! How you doing now?
2 packs a wk for seven yrs now. I estimated ~13,000 cigarettes I've smoked already. Today is my Day 3, cold turkey. I got this!
first 3 days are the hardest! you got this
+Ionut Sebastian Diaconu 2 wks now and I'm still smoke free :) it's been a lot easier than I thought, lots of gum and mints. The wrinkles on my face really scared me and I'm only 29. Now 80% my wrinkles have disappeared around my eyes and I've never felt better!
Right on dude
+marcoPolioo hows it going with no smokes?
+Nia Wolfe well I smoked some during the nyears but only cus I was confident I will quit. I haven't smoked since and don't see myself buying another anytime soon if ever again.
I hope someone reads this. I smoked heavily for 35 years. Quitting, I thought was hard. Quit smoking, but got cancer anyway. Quitting smoking isn't hard. Dying of cancer is hard.

You still ain't smoking ?
@@aditya71802 I'm curious too :P
Probably didn’t go that well
I wasn't smoking while watching this. I'm doing the exact opposite. I'm drinking water. its been a week and 2 days since I've smoked my last cigarette and I'm not going back.
hows it going???
Not good. I've been back and forth with it. My sister got run over and her pelvis is broken in 5 areas. She can't walk. She can barely move her legs with out being in pain EVEN ON MEDS. I'm so mad. More mad at myself than anything...
oh i am sorry about that... but these are the critical situations when we really have to fight the desire as they say as for me i am already afraid of thinking to quit and there is battle already in my mind... 40 cigs a day is gonna be hell of a thing to forget.. anyways good luck to you and wish me luck too... :)
I smoke an e-vape, so it's not thousands of chemicals but I need to stop that too. I hope you have good luck. It's easier when you're not thinking about it. Just keep your mind busy.
i m going cold turkey
24 hours just past I'm feeling wide awake its 2am struggling sleeping wish me luck 4th time trying. Edit - it's now 1 month and 13 days and I feel great 😉😎😎
Edit- it's now 3 months, lungs feel completely free of crap and fitness levels and body is looking great! not to mention, my skin is the healthiest looking it's ever been. I don't crave at all now 😎 only when I drink 😅
Still smoke free?
@@bny47 yes still smoke free 😎👍
Still smoke free?
still going?
6 hours whitout a cigarette. bit nervous. wish me luck
I'm a heavy smoker and I can stay 10 hours without a cigarette.
***** Wow You're SO COOL! Way to put him down.
John Doe I hope you're being sarcastic.
Well, it's been 6 hours and one week. Have you lit up?
Double Ghod i smoked one cigarette few hourrs after writting that comment. and that's it. so you could say im cigarette free about a week now
it's been 14 years since i started smoking, i was a heavy smoker 2 packs a day and have tried to quit so many times but always end up in failure and continue to smoke again.. mainly it's because the price for cigarettes in my country is very cheap about $1 for each pack.. well, after i watched this video it gaves me some courage to quit smoking and start a healtier life..
wish me luck, guys..
Addy Paddy Tech indonesia.. i might exaggerating too much about the price, it's not really $1 for a pack.. maybe around $1,5 to $2 a pack, and if you're kind of broke you could buy them per each cigarette in a traditional street side kiosk.. and that's why we have so many heavy smokers in Indonesia..
Addy Paddy Tech yep, thank you for the recommendation and support.. been trying hard to quit smoking..
Try to vape,start from 12/18 nicotine,lowering it down every month. very expensive tho but it's worth it in the long run.
I wish you the best and if your failed while reading this please just stop and tthink about it
paw patrol
Ain't smoked for 2 days now. I've smoked for the past 18 years.. This time I'm determined to stop.
18years smoker...My last cigarette was 6 days ago, cold turquey, third try in the last 5 years (record 8 days) wish me lucky \m/
72 days free of smoke. most of the work was in myself, but this video gave me a boost. thank for this .
I have tried quitting smoking about 100 times, sometimes I'll go one day, sometimes thirty days, sometimes three months, and here I go again! I can't even stand the Damned things! But, once I quit for an hour or so, I start the same process all over again! Pray for me that quit one day! Thanks! This doesn't even fade my desire to smoke!
I have been addicted to smoking for 46 years. I have tried to quit countless times but sadly the longest I was able to not smoke was 7 months. I love Jesus and hate this weakness about me. Talk about guilt and shame. I wasn't really thinking about quitting but I woke up Sunday morning not feeling well. I missed church. Found myself not wanting a cigarette. I decided if I could get through the first twenty four hours maybe I could beat this thing. There have been moments when I came real close to caving in to temptation but was able to push back. It's been 96 hours and with lots of praying, deep breathing, staying busy, sleeping, crying and listening to guided meditations like this one, I'm hanging in one day and sometimes one moment at a time. Your video helped me. Thanks!
Debra Noble Just hang in there girl. The desire fades as you resist and replace it. Everyday, one day at a time, prove the Christ in you and his ability to lift you out of the flesh (where the lying desire lingers), into the Spirit where freedom is 100% of the time. You can do it. I did it. It's been 4 years. I still have to deal with the thought coming to me tempting me, it's just that I've resisted for so long, I can yield to the Christ, Truth, and he lifts me out much easier now.
How r you now
11 months without a cigarette, I think i can call myself a non smoker. :)
I think you can call yourself brave, strong, committed.
Mashallah keep it like that brother well done! Wish me luck to stop smoking as well inshallah
God bless u
Never say never I quit for years believed I would never go back until a hardship came into my life and I reverted back to smoking. Make sure u don't use cigarettes for emotional support or u will go back.
@@fatimanoorahmad8720 hypnosis has highest success rate, x
I was a smoker for 20 years. The last 4-5 years of those 20 I kept saying to myself that I needed to quit smoking. I was smoking at least a pack but usually close to 2 packs a day. I kept digging inside of myself looking for a way to stop. I also believed that I was a devout person. I believed that I believe in and fear God. Then, sometime on my 18th or 19th year of smoking, I found a video that talked about that when people set out to do something for something that is sacred for them, they are usually more successful than when they set out to do it just for themselves. I thought this idea was very interesting. I kept thinking about it until I ran into the following passage in Psalm 1:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
After I understood this, I knew that I was contradicting myself. We can't say that we believe in God and smoke at the same time. I quit immediately after that cold turkey and since then I never wanted to touch cigarettes again.
Almost 72 hrs smoke free!!!!
Mashallah i hope you did it!
U still going on your streak??
Every hour you go without a cigarette is like winning the lottery (only smokers trying to quit will understand)! I'm proud of yall in this comment section with your 'short' time frames😎😎😎🤣👍👍👍!!! Seriously though; WE CAN DO IT! And no matter wether it's been two hours or, two months since you're last smoke (heck even 2 minutes); I'm going to celebrate with y'all and say CONGRATULATIONS!🎉🎊🎉🍾🎈🎂!!! And keep it up! You're gonna make it! Even if you slip up a couple of times; get right back in the ring and keep fighting! You're gonna WIN ❤️✊🙏!
This video made me realise that I wasn't in control of myself. It pissed me off and it's been a week now!
I watched this 30 days ago... I haven't smoked in 24 days. So achievable. Oh, and by the way, the feeling of being able to run two miles feels much better than 20 cigs a day. Trust me.
my last was oct 20 2015. i quit because i had to many people begging for smokes every single day..
+George Heissner hows it going ? :D
not goood
well... you tried :D
this video helped me quit 5 year ago. Thank you!!!!
Quit 5 days ago but was searching for a little positive reinforcement, and this vid helped! 🙏
to anyone that can get over smoking i applaud you. i have been smoking since i was 15 years old . that was 23 years ago. I have tried many times to quit with little success. I am at the point in my life where i feel like i'm chained to a wall unable to break free. That time is about to change. it's time to take control of my life again.
Ricky Law did you do it?
I'm left with 3 sticks, I finish it and I will restart my body tomorrow by not starting the cycle again! I hope I can quit man.. God bless me please!
+Joyful Joy
Well it's to late now, but you shouldn't even have smoked these 3, just throw them away.
+Joyful Joy I get you, but it's not a good way of thinking. Sometimes I'll quit for a week or two and then buy a fresh pack of cigarettes. Wow, I just bought a fresh pack of cigarettes, can't throw these away, may as well smoke them up.
It didn't .. Or rather somehow it did? But amazingly I met up with a guy a friend's friend of mine .. I told him about my addiction and then he asked me if I'm seriously having this thought of quitting and if I'm determined .. I said yes.. He stood up walk over to my table and took my cigarette and bend it crush it .. And threw it into the ashtray .. And he said.. Well then.. U can start now then.. Funny.. It's like a wake up call.. Okay.. My cigarette is gone now.. I have to quit .. And voila! I quit!!! For 2 weeks and smoke back again😂 but well.. It's all because of a temptation.. I know I can quit again since I tried 2 weeks I can do even better this time! :)
+Ionut Sebastian Diaconu me too.. Haha.. But it's all because of my gym buddy I smoke back T.T
Good luck Busting a Gut.
Had my last smoke 5 hour's ago, I'm going to reverse the most stupid decision of my life :)
how's it going so far?
Day 2 and going strong, thanks for asking
The Jet awesome. stay motivated, and congrats for the good decision.
is it going ok?
still smoke free? hope so
I quit smoking and lost my girlfriend. My girlfriend Lori hated smoking but she put up with me. So I decided in name of my love for her, and to make her happy, I'd quit, and for 9 very difficult days, I laid them down. But to my chagrin, all she did was sarcastically snarl at me, "Well it's about time." Since she didn't care, this broke my heart and I couldn't help but relapse back into smoking again, and she then became downright hostile in how I'd done this. Well I told her, I thought she'd love me for to quit smoking and she'd hug me and profusely praise and thank me, maybe even throw a party to celebrate, what would have made me feel proud and strong for to have quit, but she never appreciated so much as to even one single time, thank me, what destroyed my motivation to stay smoke free. She didn't care if I quit smoking. She didn't care at all, and this started the big fight that broke us up. The way she hated smoking, I still do not completely understand
I'm ~30 days into my quit, cold turkey. Watched this video, and really helped me quit.
3 weeks. What has helped me a lot is a vege cap of L-tyrosine. It has taken away the meaness and the urge to smoke. Works good for me, one in the morning, one before bed.
its been 14 hours since i had my last cigarette! I can do this! it's not that hard guys!
good luck to all of you!
:)
+ayecarlo hows not smoking going?

Thank you
I've smoked my last cigarette on 3:17 am 11 April 2020 after 1 year or maybe many years i will come back here and feel happy about my life .

Alright 3 hours into quitting, feeling strong this time. Here we go!!
Successfully quit. Wassup.
+Robert Brehm omg hahahah well done ..!!!
still good? starting tonight...
Steven Cramer yessir! Believe in yourself!
Robert Brehm
congrats!
I smoked for 25 years and now I don't. How I quit? I forced myself to eat all of the cigarette butts in my ash tray!! Part of my tongue started to melt off on this side near the back molars. I also chained smoked about 3 cigarettes in about 10 minutes or so and I threw up!!! April 16th, 2015 is my quit date. I was done. I give God the praise and all of the Glory for giving me that chance to accept change.
I have Quit my smoking today....
will update this comment section regularly
?
I was a child when I had my first cigarette and I remember exactly that first time... I've been smoking for about 50yrs and hopefully I just had my last cigarette watching this video.... God help me quit
Me too my friend 😢
I've been smoking for about 20 years now and decided to stop after watching this video. I see people arguing the semantics about the video but at the end of the day he is trying to get you to stop. I won't say that this video made me stop but after one month I'm smoke free.
Yes! Its that feeling of anxiousness, that false sense of urgency! Like, if I don’t light up a cigarette, I’m gonna die!
Ive been smoking for 20+ years.
Havent been smoking for 6 days now.
Its possible.
And its not THAT hard.
You just have to...maintain the situation. Quit coffee as well. Be productive. eat healthy, and stay positive.
Chris Rayford I havent been smoking since I wrote my last comment here - without paying a cent.
Thanks
+E Schur how are you now?
True. My second day off cigs after 5 years. having a coffee nearly sent me to the shop and I had to manage the situation. hoping that after three or four days I will get some of my brain functionality back.
Today is day 6 for me not smoking,I have been smoking 20 years and quit a few times before,for me I have to avoid other smokers for a while because I had quit before for almost 3 months but started smoking again after hanging out with smokers
+E Schur Bravo :D ... I found out that Quitting coffee is a perfect step in the same direction...
About try committing to quitting for the first time in the last 3 years of smoking a pack a day. Wish me luck!
good luck
How is it going?
***** Oh my God dude what's with you and this guy ?!
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about an easy way to give up smoking try Knewreck Smoke Magic Guide( search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Agreed. I encourage my participants to think more positively and think of smoking cessation as freedom from the burdens of nicotine addiction (Physical, financial, psychological).
I’ve been able to be smoke free for years.
But I was always working, and traveled for work.so rarely home with my husband.
Retired
Smoking again within months.
I continue to stop and do well, then within the first hour with my husband of 22 years I’m in a silent rage and want to break windows.
So I smoke to save my windows, and hate myself.
I just found out I'm 12wks pregnant and im quitting cold Turkey today! I hope I haven't hurt my baby! I've been smoking for many years but I have to stop for my baby's health.. it's not gonna be easy but I have to do this..
Don't worry.
My last Cigarette was 60 Days Back. I really want to keep going on !!!! Wish me Luck.
May we all get out of it :)
4hour done with it 💪 more power to me 🎭
This is a good video. I like how explained that it's not the cigarette that gives you the high, it's your own body working to make you feel better when you are smoking. The body is amazing.
My last smoke was on 5/8/2017 and your video clip played a huge role in the beginning for me to stay quit. I’ve watched this video over 100 times among a few other ones. Thank you!
What were the others? And congratulations!
@@Becky-ol4tm I don’t remember most of them as its been six years, but Allen Carr, Uncle Adams, and this one stick out. There were some animated ones that explained the benefits and challenges of quitting on a timeline. If you’re trying to quit, I recommend some type of breathing exercises and meditation. I remember every time I craved a cigarette, I just started deep breathing for a couple of minutes and the cravings would subside. I hope this message will give you a boost of motivation towards quitting if that’s your goal.
@Ahmad Jawaid Thank you so much! I never heard of Uncle Adam's. I appreciate your help. Many blessings to you!
@@Becky-ol4tm th-cam.com/video/0YZqgEu6pNs/w-d-xo.html
I have checked out virtually every piece of info I could to quit..this video..and it may be wishful thinking on my part, has totally changed the way I look at cigarettes. I am not even remotely interested in lighting up one right now...and hopefully ,that mindset will stay. Thank you so much for making the source of the real addiction clear to us!
I watched this video Saturday night and have not had a cigarette since. Today is Tuesday. I can hardly believe it. I used to smoke a pack a day for 35 years and god help the person who got in my way when I needed a cigarette. I came back to look for this guy but his website doesn't work. I came back to look over what he said because I have been using NLP for several months now to loosen up some of my resistance to quitting. It was working little by little because I was cutting down and I was opening up to being willing to quit. Somehow I found this video - I was not looking for anything about smoking, I think being an NLP practitioner, I was probably looking at something that had to do with Erickson Hypnosis... and this video popped up. I'm trying to analyze it now how that I remember looking at the title of it, I had 2 cigarettes left. I thought to myself, I'll watch this later after I smoke these and then just won't go buy any more. Like just in case it worked, well, I wouldn't have any more in the house. This would not have worked without the video because I would just walk across the street and get another pack. The one thing that got me was when he said, I'm not addicted to cigarettes but the endorphin response, that all made sense to me somehow. I also started thinking about power and freedom and not liking being controlled. But I know this alone wouldn't do it because I have an NLP coach who used that rationale on me over a year ago and although it made sense, it did not get me to stop. The urges were still there even if I wanted to quit, meaning, it would still be a struggle. This time it was not much of a struggle. The little urges that did come up were like little whispers. Not raging cravings that I am used to having. By the first 24 hours, with nicotine being out of my system, I finally got up the nerve to tell my husband I had quit and he is really shocked. I always hear the first 4 days were the hardest and I'm at the end of Day 3 right now. So I came back here to talk about it or learn more, etc. just to give myself something to do to make sure I get into Day 4. I am just so shocked I quit that I want to start to use my NLP and my experience to help others quit too. That's why I'm looking for this guy. I want to ask him about how he came up with everything he said in this video.
Jeanette Bailey Today is Day 14 and I still have not smoked. I quit on 4th of July. Freedom and Independence Day for me.
this gives me hope
+Jeanette Bailey stop smoking group on internet---great support with counter and everything --cant think of name --just put stop smoking group in search box
Jeanette Bailey People who stop smoking come from humble backgrounds.
Jeanette Bailey I know when someone posts for their "ology" degree and those who know stopping nicotine addiction hehehe.
Your concise explanation has been the final tool that I've been missing. I've almost completed day 3 without a cigarette, and I'm feeling so much better already, rather than being stressed because I haven't smoked. Knowing that the nicotine has been the source of my anxiety and not the cure, and that my endorphins are my own to release as I choose (which I am learning how to do) and not at the mercy of some foreign matter that my body doesn't even want has pretty much negated any withdrawal symptoms that I was afraid I would have to deal with.
I’m just back here to say that 9 years ago I watched this video under a certain psychodelic and I haven’t touched a cigarette since. I was in a country where psychedelics were legal.
I watched this in 2011, I can comfortably say, this video is a godsend. I haven't touched a single cigarette ever since. It's been a very difficult roller coaster but I finally did it and I feel amazing! I am blessed with my new beautiful wife and new lovely children. The old ones died from passive smoking but I survived. I can't thank you enough thehyponoticcoach.
+StyleZ ”endie” 521 Nice meme mate
WTF HAHAHAHAHA
day 13, and the comments really encouraged me and helped me to not smoke.
Am not buying another packet of cigarettes. Good luck with becoming a non smoker
I quit a ten year habit back in ‘97. Wow !!! I mean I’ve never thought about it the way you explained . About the Endorphins just building up and waiting for a cataylist to release itself in the body. I always thought that it was the body’s reaction to nicotine being forced into everything that a human being is made of. Good job of explaining the science behind smoking . Thank you for your time in educating society. Doug Fortner.
Today is 12days
Smoke free 🎉
Thank you! Your explanation of the why we smoke and how the chemicals interact with our bodies has helped me tremendously! I’m 70 and have smoked on and off quitting for long periods but always return to it when drastically stressed. Now I know why. My mind is remembering the pleasure. I quit again a year ago and started cheating here and there. Now I’m determined to stay young and feel good and know even the occasional cheat is poisoning my body! I’ve been listening to sleep hypnosis each night for a week and although it’s helping somewhat it was your presentation, especially the body’s reaction to being poisoned, that has impressed me so much that today is the day! I will exercise or clean or simply read and relax when I need a break and keep re-playing your video in my mind. Wish me 🍀.
Honestly watching this video made me want to smoke more. I think the best advice to quit smoking is to completely distract yourself to the point where the cigarette doesn’t even pass through your head. Find something that distracts you.
I watched this video shortly after stopping and the words really stuck with me. I'm on day 4 now, the nicotine is out of my system and I feel great!
My last cigarette was 9 days ago without the help of HRT. For the most part, I am experiencing withdrawal and I am also determined to stay stopped, as I feel better on day 9 and now realise that my years of constant smoking was slowly making me feel physically and mentally unwell. Plus, over the past 9 days, I have saved £65.
%14 Of people stop watching this video to smoke
Nooo they stopped smoking , not good for your health and your pocket
You're advice is right on. I watched your video 13 days ago and it has helped me to quit smoking. I've kept the mind set that I don't want the nicotine to draw me back in again of needing it over and over. I totally agree that smoking creates way more stress than it relieves. I quit for 14 years and it only took one puff off someone's cigarette and within weeks I was back smoking again. It has taken me 5 years now to finally quit again. Thanks for your video!!! It's made quitting much easier!!! I remember after I quit the first time after about a year there was nothing that would make me smoke again. I remember believing that with all my heart for the 14 years. Then one day someone really hurts my feelings and I take a puff. I will never do that again!!!
I think this is 200+ time, I try to quit some but failed. This is my 2nd day of not smoking. Hope this time I will make it
I am from England and a few days ago, I played in a volleyball match. When I preformed one of my jump serves, I saw the ball touch the opponet's side of the court with no opposition getting to it, I got a massive massive rush of endorphin chemicals and I felt so high from it..I rekon I got more than a smoker ever will! I got this just by playing sport..I am a proud non drinker, and non smoker..I have never tried any of them also.
hahah, I am just saying you don't need cigarettes, just play sport or do a hobby :)
James Crampton-Thomas To be 'proud' of never having had a smoke or a drink is a little absurd... not doing something that you've never tried in the first place takes no effort on your part whatsoever. It's not an accomplishment, and especially not at your (obviously) young age.
If I can go 17 years without punching a nun, or cracking myself in the face with a bat, is that an accomplishment too? I would argue that a real accomplishment is sucking it up and quitting after a vice has a hold of you.
If you're interested in not coming off like a smarmy dick, you might practice a little empathy. Example: I've never tried heroin, and I'm glad... but it took no effort. In fact, I'm damn lucky that I haven't experienced the kind of social and environmental deficiencies that drive other young people to do so. So I won't trivialize a plight I don't understand by saying "oh you don't need that smack, mate - just play a sport or do a hobby! Cause everyone in the world is privileged with the time and means to engage in leisure activities like me!"
"Empathy" for smokers, smokers are actually selfish by giving of their chemicals to those around them, now that is not just exposing yourself to an "environmental deficiency", but also a "social" one too. Now I can gladly say that I am proud that I am not the reason for such deficiencies as I don't smoke and give of the bad chemicals. Smokers are inviting death, non smokers are cheating a premature death..Now if you don't smoke, cheating such a disadvantage is an achievement.. ;)))
So if you haven't tried, how would you know? And I believe when one tries something, he needs to give it a good shot. I am not advising it though. Long term we know there are dangers. I played sports professionally and I know the rush, I don't believe it's endorphins, but adrenalin. A good cigar with great scotch or a glass of nice red wine is something totally different. I would not describe it as a rush.
James Crampton-Thomas Empathy for everyone is my point, boy. A time may well come when you have a problem of your own that a quick bout of volleyball won't fix. Karma's a bitch - you'll know it when it happens.
I used to smoke about 1 pack a day before this video, what a difference now after watching this video. I'm up to 2 packs a day!

I smoked my last ciggrate on 16th June I ll update my journey in reply section , give me blessings in ahead of my journey and luv you guys __:)
Wow this really helps. I was planning on quitting in 2 days time after I get my prescription for recently diagnosed severe COPD. This video makes so much sense so I'm going to keep replaying this as needed and make the change one craving at a time, minute by minute or hour by hour and starting today
14 days of no smoking. wish me luck
Wonderful news. How's it going?
@@seniorita3287 till now smoke free. Day 70
I cannot stop watching this as it makes sense 100%.... thanks for this guidance 🙏🏾
8 days strong after this video. Cottage cheese has been my saving grace. Thank you for the strong kind words. Hope you can help other people too. Thanks again!
Cottage cheese? Why and how? lol Thank you
just what i found to curve the craving just enough. left me with the bitter flat flavor. kept me busy for 5 mins. and was quick and easy. im today 4 months without any ciggerettes. i find myself busy cleaning and improving everyday with all my extra time.
my biggest opsticle was the fact that ive smoked for lets say half my life. changing the habit was the hardest hurdle. the contant thought patterns i had while smoking had to be broken. having to find an all new routine was one of the trickiest parts about it.
tons to say///ask away if you like.
Thank you travis!
I haven't even watched the video, I'm reading through the comments eating cottage cheese right now lmao
4 days for me ;)
If you smoke, read it lol and keep up eating cottage cheese.
lmao
I was inspired to quit smoking after watching your video...Its been 7 days n going strong ,came back to say BIG THANK YOU.
yep I have quit after watching this video , 3 month ago and feel fantastic , thankyou very much you have changed and prolonged my life - God bless you sir
First time I watched I quite for three days. Second time I watched quite for week an half. This is my third time....Lets hope its a charm and I quite for good.
Well?
Who else is watching while smoking ?
I am gonna smoke one now
+rahul51139 hahahahahah !!!! funny coz i was doing the same
Me.....Yikes
Great video thanks. My physical response to lighting a cigarette has become so acute that I would have hot flushes and anxiety. My body simply could not deal with the toxicity any longer despite the endorphin release which - as I understand - is released in cases of physical injury and/or poisoning. Your video helped me to focus on this idea. I also loved the use of the words empower and freedom. I once stopped for 4 years and when ask how I felt about it, my stock response was: It is the most liberating thing I have ever done! Another powerful point you make is that nicotine does NOT help stress - the endorphins help stress! I will focus on this going forward because the emotional stress trigger is what started me up again after 4 yours.
Keep going! You WILL WIN! Definitely!
my first cigarette was the best moment of my teen hood honestly, the depression lifted and i felt relaxed.
Been smoking for 20 years decided to quit today, also quit 'the chronic' 10 days ago. I am a stubborn man, i will keep at it. It is a bottomless money pit , and ive been having lung problems, like pains as of late. Hopefully i can do it and im not too late. Good luck to all you who struggle and are reading this.
At the beggining of this video I was kinda calling #thehypnoticcoach a bunch of crap, I'm on my third day and that feeling on the chest is really strong, but after watching the whole video I feel a lot better. This is not to quit smoke, but if anyone is already on to quitting, watching the video actually helps to understand that pressure you're feeling.

24 hours smoke free. a suggestion to those who want to quit, download and install some apps in your phone that's gonna keep you updated about what's goin' on in your body after the last cig. trust me, it's extremely helpful :)
can you please name some of those apps and if they are free?
penkata drums QuitNow! or MLC (My Last Cigarette), both for IOS
Will follow your advice thanks
I have been a smoker of 20-30 a day for 20 years, on my 7th day off the cigs now, its getting a little easier and videos like this really help to keep me feeling positive, thank you :-)
I watched this video 3 times through and now have been free from cigarettes , tobacco, nicotine for over two years now , this from a pack a day plus smoker for 25 years
I have COPD. Ive smoked for 35 yrs already. Ive tried to give up before a few times but to no avail. I manage 2 wks and then my willpower seems to crash. I will be trying again as ive noticed my condition seems to have worsened overnight and im sick of the anxiety now. Everytime I feel like a cig ive decided ill reward my lungs for a change and do some breathing exercizes, and month end treat myself to a wash and blow wave etc from the money saved! Thanks for a great vid! 😊
I AM A 14 YEAR OLD MALE. I HAVE NEVER SMOKED A CIGARETTES , AND I'M NOT PLANING TO SMOKE A CIG. I AM A SMART TEEN (:
+DA BUBBLE Liz i wih you luck :D but its not like you ever plan on doing so

I am 26. Smoked first when I was 9.
Got rid of this fucking habit 5 years back.
Please please please don't smoke for the sake of the pain which is waiting for you.
I quit smoking for 10 years now, thanks to this clip. Hello from Greece!
This video really helped me. I haven't smoked in 53 days! :)
How did you find out 14% of people gave up smoking by watching your video.. before you uploaded the video? And even after uploading the video, did you ask 390,749 people if they gave up smoking or not?
+The Undertaker xD
+The Undertaker has risen
86% of people thought it was all shite!
Have you considered the possibility that this isn't the first place this video has been shown? He said "95% of the people I've dealt with" he's clearly some sort of doctor or smoking support worker? Maybe 14% of his clients he has shown this video too gave up smoking and that's why he uploaded it? Just saying..😂
Agree, I seriously doubt his stats. He doesn’t even give a solution.
I will try to quit to smoke i smoke 3packs a day i have difficulty breathing please pray for me as i stop smoking
Finally it's time to start my journey by becoming a nonsmoker. 2PM 8th August 2021 will be remembered for ever wish me good luck.
.
Idk if it was because of your video...but I no longer smoke! It's been 7months and I remember the day I watched this video was the last day. THANKS!!
