CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Terrie H.: Little Things I Miss

[@Lisa-di1wi]

My last boss at my first job smoked and she talked just like Terrie. She had a benign tumor in her throat and they took out her voice box. Keep on producing these powerful anti smoking messages.

[@belanna_therealest6451]

So so sad

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+Nan Fagan smoking will never be banished,its a money racket the US cant live without. Stop thinking like a sheep and open your eyes...

[@Lisa-di1wi]

Smoking is still dangerous to your health no matter what!

[@FrayTitannia]

+ƨυɈiɿɘmɘ ɒqɒq So you would have persons lose their health so that the economy would flourish? The US has plenty of other income facets.

[@meloneemurray7547]

Rest In Peace Terrie.

[@jimmycarter5027]

She was such a strong individual. She still was able to have a sense of humor (0:59) I couldn't imagine having any positivity or bright sides if I was in that predicament. RIP terrie

[@therejectedone939]

It pains me everytime she has to breath in to say another fragment of a sentence. Smoking really needs to stop now, why can't most people see the negative things it's doing to people. Terrie could have had an amazing life. My heart goes out to her and everyone else who died of smoking.

[@Rosko_01]

+IndieKidTV I have a grandmother who is 84 and is a compulsive smoker and she has never had anything happen to her so some get lucky

[@sterlingraynor655]

+Ross K well everybody's body is different so people have unique things happen to them.

[@applefan2151]

It's the same reason as to why people eat fast food everyday and become so obese they can't walk. It's addiction.

[@desireecody1126]

I want to stop smoke

[@jasper3337]

They do it because they're addicted! And when they don't smoke Their body goes through LOADS of pain! And it doesn't go away until they smoke a Cigarette and put nicotine into their body.

[@zephyrsteele1696]

Just watching this video makes me sad. My dad used to smoke a lot until he stopped because it was making me sick. I'd miss school for days because of a sore throat from inhaling my dad's second hand smoke. I feel so sorry for Terrie. Lots of love- Zoe.

[@TheSwabbie]

God Bless her soul...

[@LPSORBIT]

IM GONNA CRY

[@ruantengyi]

As i watched that clip, I'm glad that Terrie told children that smoking is bad and they hopefully will not end up like her.

[@dylanpower1438]

OliAliNes3723 they will still smoke then they will be like her making ads and over and over. It’s a toxic circle

[@faithneibert496]

I hope to meet this woman in heaven someday Rip 🤗

[@Caleb_Mandrake872]

Terrie Hall really put herself out there for everyone to opine because she wanted non-smokers & smokers to see what is going to happen to them. She was a brave soul & made the most significant impact on the public.

[@Dsturb85]

She reminds me of my grandma who I miss everyday. When I see her talking I see my grandma. I wish I could hug her again.

[@ieatpearsnowandshit4486]

Smoking also ages you quicker she was 53 when she dies but looked like 80. Cigarettes need to be banned their killing people

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+Tj Prescott Yea,you would be eating your words if they banned tobacco products too. Think the crime rate is bad now,ban tobacco and watch what would happen. Tobacco users can be worse than crackheads if they do not get their nicotine fix...

[@birdies8397]

That, I don't agree with. Look at what's happening with marijuana and the huge crime rates (especially in the black community). Police brutality and non-violent crime rates are already higher than they need to be. Don't make it worse by making tobacco illegal.

[@stephaniedodich5358]

My prayers are with Terrie and the other smokers who have died due to cigarettes❤️❤️

[@kathleenmeyers1101]

I had throat cancer and I've had a laryngectomy like Terri and I miss the same things as Terrie. the biggest thing I miss is singing. I also have 2 new grandsons and this voice I have is the only one they will know. fortunately I have found that babies dont mind my voice

[@sterlingraynor655]

u kidding

[@JamesJimmaHarding]

It hurts to see her reduced to living a life like that before dying so young. Rest in peace :( Another good reason why i've never put a cigarette in my mouth and i plan to never lose my 'smoke virginity'

[@JessieFosterMissing]

So heartbreaking. My husband is 53 years old and smokes. He started over 40 years ago when he was a kid. He wants to quit very much, but has never been able to STAY QUIT. All I can tell him is to DON'T QUIT QUITTING. I also have 2 daughters and 2 sons-in-law who smoke and it breaks my heart. R.I.P. TERRIE

[@zaiman97]

Oh my. I am 21 and I started smoking this year 2018. I hope I don't get addicted. May God bless your husband and childrens strength to quit. :'

[@dylanpower1438]

Zaiman Syahzmi quit now

[@dylanpower1438]

Jessie Foster tell them quitting hard but not quitting is harder.

[@rockaholic400]

I feel bad for Terri. At the end of the vid i cried. I am10 but i know i will never smoke. RIP Terri

[@marklawrence9262]

I thank God that I never smoked.

[@skyesaenz3428]

I feel so bad for you I'm a kid I watch this because so when I grow up I don't smoke I feel very, very, very, very, very, very bad, because you go through lots of things and it probably hurts you, I'm so sorry rest in peace Terrie

[@multareon6669]

R.I.P TERRIE 19(I DONT KNOW SORRY)- 2013 thank u for givinv us some tips and for giving us a moral lesson..

[@evelyn-sf5cz]

I'm so sorry Terrie :( RIP

[@sfreer4462]

Why am I crying like this why must i be so weak

[@WillSmith-wi6vx]

My experience has been totally different. My grandpa smoked a pipe, then switched to cigs & cigars, then switched to chewing later in his life. He died at age 78, no cancer. My great aunt smoked so much she carried a small portable ashtray with her. It was rare to see her without a cig in her mouth, she died at age 88 from Alzheimer's, no cancer. My father is now 70, has smoked since he was 14. No cancer, no breathing issues. Same goes for my mother... Crazy how it can affect people differently.

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+Will Smith It depends on the body's chemistry and how it reacts to the tobacco. MY grand mother lived to be 96 and smoked for 81 years.

[@slayerplays450]

Will Smith My grandad smokes now.. :(

[@slayerplays450]

тнєvαρiиgfαтbσy My grandma didn’t smoke but she died 2018 :( ;-;

[@DJSKAR3]

It's completely idiotic to try and justify smoking... It's vile...

[@jcsmitto6497]

+ƨυɈiɿɘmɘ ɒqɒq That's because we need it to survive, I'm pretty sure no one needs to smoke cigarettes to live a good life. Anyways ever heard of the Paris Agreement? It does show that people are alert and worried.

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

No but I dont need every non smoker breathing down my neck,pestering me about my habit.Same with religion... I keep my distance,you keep yours. Its a big world for both to coexist on...

[@FrayTitannia]

+ƨυɈiɿɘmɘ ɒqɒq You're making some red herring fallacies by saying that breathing air and drinking from plastic bottles. Smoking was the problem being addressed, please don't change the topic. If you want to make a good defense for smoking, honestly please explain to me why you think it's a good idea to give yourself a high risk of cancer rather than say that there are other problems. My Grandmother has been smoking for at least 50+ years and I can't stand to be near her, in her home, or in her car because it makes me sick. I can't stand the scent of cigarettes. The only reason I have for why someone would keep poisoning themselves would be an addiction telling them that their dependent on that drug.

[@birdies8397]

+ƨυɈiɿɘmɘ ɒqɒq I bet you'd change your mind if you got cancer. It's nothing to play with. Everyone always thinks that it's not going to happen to them, and then it does.

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+Birdie S if I get cancer, I get cancer. I have to due of something. Why are you people scared of dying? Scared to meet your maker? I mean he sugar coats the after life for you all. I'm surprised there isn't more suicidals trying to leave this "God forsaken" place to get tti the promised land lol. Try again...

[@TheKiller92272]

Terrie is no more and has been no more since 2013

[@RylieMarie-h8b]

I miss her so much

[@Sherlock245]

It's an addiction just like any drug the smoking companies will not stop. Ad long as people keep wanting to buy it. 😭😭😭

[@brocool3953]

Dang she had to be seriously seriously addicted

[@Tx5club]

STOP SMOKING !

[@johnsonsolomon8766]

Smoking kills, smokers please quit smoking and get a heathy life

[@zlataisawsome]

I sent this video to my mom, I tried to stop her, it gotten so bad, that I gained a fear of smoking

[@RylieMarie-h8b]

I love Terrie

[@Acemans]

"Hey, There Smoothskin"

[@TimeTraveller-xt1uo]

Smoking is an Addiction

[@lexymalcolm5339]

My heart drops when I see this😩😪😞

[@baconpancakes6737]

I tell my mom and dad and tio to stop smoking and then your gonna end up like this and up like this and they all ways push me away

[@camlashawnn]

That's sad.

[@Bellicguy]

If they push you away, you push them back...

[@dylanpower1438]

bacon pancakes tell them u will order their casket

[@TimeTraveller-xt1uo]

Cigarettes are Very Dangerous

[@ratgirl4ever]

I Know How to slowly quit smoking.The reason why people smoke is because it becomes a habit of picking up a cigarette and smoking it. Well, What you do is cut up straws and do the same.

[@ratgirl4ever]

I made my dad a sharing pack of cut up straws to give to his friends at work :3

[@ratgirl4ever]

But whats your point?

[@halleslyter3444]

It's much harder than you think there is nicotine in them and that makes it so hard to stop Bc it's addicting I have lots of people in my family who smoke and they try but it's so hard

[@jimmymackinnon8474]

You can’t smoke a straw though, the plastic will just burn and melt.

[@jackcaldwell3493]

This is scary

[@bridget6767]

CTSparty24 Plays is supposed to scare you

[@andyhart4329]

im still smoking the kush

[@popsingerstar]

my brother & i r twins & when our mom used 2 pick us up from school she always smelled like smoke. her boss was a smoker & it was gross. she doesnt work there anymore, thank god

[@revolution606]

13 years is long time im on the ecigs now please try to quit , its not that hard even if your young, dont play russian roulette ,if not now , when

[@hellespont5072]

+Thatcarpet Woods e-cigartte gives 95% harm reduction compared to the conventional cigarette so stop talking nonsense! E-cigarette is far healthier than smoking a cigarette... +ricky stephens Good job so far

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+ricky stephens Stop telling people its not hard.You have no idea how hard it is for some people.Everyone is different.Just because it was easy for you,doesnt mean its going to be easy for the next person.. People look for support within the community,yet they find more non smokers who do more harm than good.Would rather throw rocks at glass houses then help the smoker step in the right direction. Ex smokers are even worse about pointing fingers...

[@Bruh-uf4et]

what about weed

[@skylerzahn2126]

No more nicotine is what makes you addicted no more no more

[@zeroherohd270]

my grandmother is like this :(

[@rileyshumaker1087]

I'm so sorry

[@asianpuppy2080]

kinda looks like a teacher i knew

[@habibhabib851]

will it Happen to ANYone that smokes???

[@kadeacon]

+Hassan Hassan Yep. Cancer is VERY a very common side effect smoking.

[@TheCheekieMiner]

+Hassan Hassan i guess if u start young or smoke un controlably but if u smoke its a very high risk of this happening. Its sad...

[@Rosko_01]

Many that smoke go and live a full life and some don't but at the end of the day you die if you smoke you die if you don't

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+Hassan Hassan dont listen to some of these people.Some have it drilled in their heads that if you smoke just one cigarette,you're going to die. Not true unless you are just a messed up case who has a whacked system. IT depends on how much you smoke and more so how your body's chemistry reacts to the toxins in the tobacco. You will be at risk,but I cant tell you to stop or start smoking,thats a decision you have to make for yourself.

[@Gabi-tw5es]

+Hassan Hassan My grandpa died when my mom was 11 because he was a smoker and got lung cancer. Then in 2012 my aunt died after she had both of her legs cut because she got gangrene after smoking in the past 30 years. I'm not saying that this will happen to all of those who smoke, but it's better not to try.

[@rieallittle9199]

that's so sad

[@halleslyter3444]

I just wish people knew what cigarettes do to you😞 my brother and aunt and 2 cousins smoke and I tell them all the time but they don't listen 😭😭

This is what happens after you smoke so much

[@wernerflugman9851]

Some teens say smoking is cool

[@marialerenzo86]

she also smoked maybe those non filtered cigarettes, and she started smoking when she was a minor

[@watchensee]

Why haven't cigarettes been out lawed? :(

[@ItsJustMeAdam.]

+watchensee because people will go into withdraws and spaz, and it would cause havoc in the nation.You think the crime rate is bad now...ban tobacco and watch an apocalypse happen...

[@watchensee]

ƨυɈiɿɘmɘ ɒqɒq Well like all other hard core illegal drugs, people addicted to nicotine/tobacco, would have to go on supplements to help wean them off of it. Cigarettes are just as bad as all other drugs.

[@FrayTitannia]

+watchensee Disclaimer: I do not condone cigarettes in any form. Back in the 1920s there was a law passed that outlawed alcohol. That law caused crime rates and violence to skyrocket. This led to the first amending of an amendment, as well as the only. Clearly, alcohol is now again legal. If cigarettes were to be outlawed, a similar circumstance would arise. However, sufficient awareness for the harmful effects would supposedly be able to curb and eventually stop anyone from going down such a path.

[@birdies8397]

Because, then crime rates (which are already too high) would go WAY up. Smoking is terrible, obviously, but it isn't something that should be made illegal. Look at what's happening with marijuana, and the burden on poor and black communities. Do you want that to get worse?

[@gigilewis1468]

This is why you should not smoke. Because you can get mouth cancer and lung cancer. Lose all your teeth and all your hair. And other bad things. I almost forgot throat cancer. All those things can kill you.

[@yipkinknights9921]

SHE DIED AT 53!?!?!??!?!?!?!1?!/ OMG

[@Tursiopstruncatus]

[@BuffaloBetties]

I'm sure the CDC & network TV have the best of intentions with these commercials, & I feel so sorry for those in them. But they have gotten out of control to the point of being disturbing, annoying, gross, offensive, harassing attacks on us in our homes by bombarding us with these gross commercials every 5-10 minutes throughout the day.... Peaking on national news hours during our meal times makes us instantly loose our appetite. I haven't watched the news on network TV in weeks because these commercial attacks throughout the broadcasts. We have to change the channel or shut off the TV as soon as they come on. Yesterday it was so bad we couldn't watch network TV all day because these commercials. It wouldn't be so bad if they were on once a couple hours, or a few times a day. But they are been run constantly during the news & meals. These commercials accomplish nothing if all the do is make people turn, walk away, change the channel, or shut off the TV. We have a new rule in our house now. No network TV an hour before or during meals thanks to these commercials. There's a form of internet harassment called goatsee. It's when trolls post unsolicited photos to unsuspecting forums or internet groups of the most horrid, gross, & disturbing pictures they can find in the world. Goatsee is a form of internet harassment & doesn't help anybody's cause! It's intended to ruin & shut down forums & groups on the internet. I WILL NOT BE HARASSED BY GOATSEE ON MY TV EVERY 5-10 MINTUTES!!! It's a gross product of sick minds, & not useful advertisement. It does not belong on my TV every 5-10 minutes all day.
