[@benitoabreu4785]

Congratulations! I, too was a heavy smoker. In the last couple of months, I couldn't stop thinking about lung cancer, COPD and other smoking-related issues. Dude, I got to be honest; this habit was going to kill me and it scared the hell out of me. Quitting smoking was indeed the best decision I ever made and I'm very proud of it!

[@Cohort227]

I did that too, I went on KZbin and listen to alot of others and it really helped me to hear from them. Thats one of the reason I decided to make this video. Good luck to you, just stick with it, you will have no regrets.

[@JagStar3654]

I'm on Day 3 of quitting. This is about my fourth Day 3 in the last six weeks. I kept relapsing by having four or five cigs then stopping again. I've finally learned that one can't be a part-time smoker...you're either a smoker or a non-smoker. I've made the decision to be a NON-smoker for many reasons. The biggest reason is that I wouldn't be too crazy about having a stroke or a heart attack due to narrowed blood vessels to my brain and heart (which is what smoking does). Thanks for the excellent video and Good Luck to you!

[@davidarreola1788]

I have been a smoker for about 10 years I started right after highschool I'm 27 years old I smoke about a pack a day but instead of relaxing I feel more anxious and stressed I'm 3 days smoke free and honestly I feel awful cravings are bad but watching videos like yours and hearing that it is possible gives me a lot of strength I know soon cigarettes will not affect me anymore god bless and good luck to everyone trying to quit

Thanks to your video, I've been quit for 15 days! The nicotine addiction seems to be gone, I've been dealing with the "cue" addiction, without too many problems, now I'm dealing with the "boredom" addiction. I ALMOST fell off the wagon a couple days ago, when I went fishing, but I MADE it!! Thanks for the video, Man.

I originally watch this video for the 1st back June 2013 . it helped for a few months and went back to it . again revisited today for 2nd day non smoking encouragement ; )

[@atstafford10]

I just had my last one and came across your video - thank you, for the inspiration! I've been smoking consistently for over 30 years now and in all those years there wasn't a day that I didn't berate myself for it. It does make you feel bad physically, mentally, and financially it is overwhelming. God bless you!

[@NeneBoo589]

These videos are so motivating, I'm on day 2 with quitting cold turkey method, yes I get cravings but I find that if I keep myself busy through out the day with some kind of activities working out, walking my dog, shopping etc. I find I don't think about smoking or relapsing. I think its all about will power and self control.

[@Cohort227]

I am so glad to hear that and congrats on quittting! You will feel better and better. Quitting smoking is a real confidence booster in way. Once you have quit for a while you will feel like you can do anything,

i threw my pack tonight after picking up my parents from the airport. I've smoked for about 12 years and now after a tough loss in my family (uncle) i've decided to quit. I thank you for this video and im gonna go back to this video to remind me. Thank you will keep you posted.

[@SLP-SandAngel]

Watched your video at 11:37 pm dec 31 2015 and took my last puff on a cig at 11:59 pm. It's now 12:22 am Jan 1 2016 and I'm already freaking out, but thanks to your honest up front video, I pray to stand strong and never pick another up. Thanks, brother. Hope all is well for you still and may you and your family have a great new year.

[@kendrickdacosta7544]

I havnt smoked a cigarette since 2 weeks before last halloween! I noticed in the first four weeks how better my lungs felt. What really helped me out was i think that everything has a con and a pro, cigarettes has a shitload of cons and not 1 pro! People"s answer will be like it's a stress reliever but it actually makes your stress worse. Also I know for a FACT that if a smoke a cigarette in the future i will absolutely regret it,

[@jonathanbutcher9043]

I'm on day 5 of cold turkey, and I just want to say this video has been a massive help! Have watched a few good ones over the last few days, but yours has really stood out. The whole idea of reminding yourself smoking is what brings you down, not up, has been really helping. Thanks again!

[@Cohort227]

Thanks darrengaudry, after I quit smoking I really wanted to express my thoughts on it, in hopes of helping others. At the time I quit I to would watch other videos with others peoples stories, which helped me greatly, so I wanted to contribute as well, thanks for your comment,

[@modernobscura]

Thank you a lot for this video. I'm 15 and have been smoking for about a year. I want to quit because I can feel the loss of circulation in my left leg, as well as lack of energy, shortness of breath, and chest pains. One of my biggest fears regarding quitting is living around all of the people in my family who smoke. It's crazy to hear you quit and and still go around your family members who do! Respect.

[@BogsOrBaxes]

Loved the realness of this video. I'm 25 years old, and have been smoking since 2006. a pack a day since 2007. and am now 22 hours into my quit. this video is great :) inspirational i hope i succeed this time!

[@adamc4127]

Any updates?

[@BogsOrBaxes]

Adam C Yes. So I gave in that time pretty early on. But now I am on my 8th day of "quitting smoking" (im not counting the days anymore because i feel so much better :) ) this video helped in a few situations with some "cravings" i quote it because i am not really craving nicotine! and thats what i thought was happening. it is just a physiological response ur body has during withdrawal that only lasts about 3 mins, and as cohert says "then they go away" he was very much right. i feel very free today and it feels like my lungs are loosening up. god bless all !

[@Scott83016]

I’m very happy for you man. Seriously. Nobody who doesn’t smoke will EVER understand. Which is ok. Buuuut I am praying that switch flips for me. I have been having chest pains for several years now. I’m tired of it. I hate smoking so much.

[@Greystarr1958]

Wow!!! Great vid. I am a one pack a day smoker and I have been trying to quit. I went for a week without a cig and thought i was finally over the nicotine. However, after vacation I went back to work and the stress drove me back to smoking. I hated it and to this very day I am angry at myself for starting back. Now that I have seen your vid, I once again am wanting to quit and be done with this nasty habit. Thanks for sharing your story and your positiveness about quitting smoking.

[@slapmytush]

OMG i know how you feel! i quite for 28 days. i thought i was over it. it took alot out of me to quit and i was very vigilant. all it took was one stressful situation and one cigarette to get me to start again. im stopping tomorrow, ive been planning for a whole month, pumping myself up and watching videos like this. tomorrow is marked on my calendar. good luck to you friend!

[@janehall8613]

I like your quit smoking video the best. All the other videos say that having a support system is a MUST, as well as staying away from smokers and cigarettes all the time! But I'm in the same situation you were in. No support system. People in my house smoke. I can't move out. I have nothing but my own willpower and a desire to be healthy. I've smoked for years. But starting today I'm going to just do what you did. Thank you sir. Glad to hear you are still smoke free after a few years. Congratulations

[@anx1300c]

Just wanted to say you gave me the inspiration to quit 6/27/13 COLD TURKEY. Didn't think I could do it without patches, pills, therapy, but I saw your no B.S. video and gave it a shot. And the best part is that I only gained 2 lbs, by making a couple amendments to my diet and work outs. Oddly enough, I had quit back in June 2000 and then started back up in November 2003. That time I went on the patch, started chewing a month after quitting and still gained 10-12 lbs the first few months, which dropped back to a few pounds after a year or so. This time I'm 100% nicotine free. I'll admit, I still get occasional cravings, and sometimes they're fairly intrusive, but I've become adept at squashing them. I don't know if they'll ever go away completely. Anyway, you definitely have the most inspirational video on the web, bar none, and for that, I thank you sir.

[@Cohort227]

anx1300c Thanks anx1300c I am so glad that this helped you. It has been almost 4 years for me and I don't have craving per se; but I do have dreams on occasions of just puffing away, and every time in the dream I am just disgusted with myself about going back to smoking. When I wake up the morning after I think 'thank goodness' it was just a dream. I do know the longer I go the better it gets. You have it beat! Thanks for your kind words :) -227

[@gregmcgrath-goudie2173]

I'm 20, been smoking a pack a day for almost four years. I thought it helped me in university to stay calm, but that line about cigarettes being the problem hit home for me. Thanks. I made it three days a few weeks ago but I caved in. Day 1 begins again tomorrow morning, and I'll be watching this video again. Cheers!

[@chronotrigger8864]

Day 7 and still going strong. Tip: Whenever you have a craving for a cigarette, think to yourselves why? Am i a slave to nicotine that can control the way i act and feel? The main reason i quit smoking is not because of the harm i'm doing to my body, but rather the freedom non smokers have, i hated being dependent on cigarettes

Good for you 👍👍. I am about to have my FINAL quit on Friday (maybe sooner) so I’ve been reading and watching videos the past few weeks. I’ve tried a few times, last reall attempt was 15 years or more ago. Through that attempt the MOST useful thing I did was remember what someone once told me. “If you smoke the urge will pass, if you don’t smoke the urge will pass”. You pretty much said those exact same words. And those really are the TRUEST words ever 👍👍👍👍. When I stopped saying those words during a craving, that’s when I picked up. But when I used them I got through EVERY craving pretty easily. I’m definitely USING THEM this time, every time I get an urge. Congrats to you!! And thanks for sharing your story.

[@bryannelson3462]

I quit smoking 1 week ago cold turkey, no drags ,no vapes no nothing and I feel great. I do get an urge but it goes away fast. I will never fall back in to this dirty habit that takes all your money and does nothing for you. If it got you high it might be worth 10 dollars a pack but it doesn't! I've been a smoker since age 15 I'm now 49! I love being a non smoker. All it took for me was to say ok I've had enough of this shit I'm fkn done! It just doesn't get any easier than that it's all just the mental state you must overcome as to having it in your hand and putting it to your mouth. If I fail I will let you know but I will not!! My kids are very happy w me as my Mom w copd.and all my friends I'm now the 5th guy to give up smoking at my shop. There are only 4 guys left that smoke its a small shop.

Thanks for watching, I watched alot of videos during the first few weeks that I I had quit and it is nice to hear other peoples testimonies, and to be able to hear back from them. I wish you the best and hope that it works for you. the first three days seemed the hardest to me, but it got easier and easier as time went by.

[@Liz_For_Short]

Just stopped smoking about a day ago. I'm finding it tough but your video helped. Put things in better perspective. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Cohort227]

+Lizzz0727 Good luck to you, its a little tough but stick with it. This is my anniversary week, its now been 5 years since I quit. You really can do it. :)

[@francinemarsh6764]

You are so hot!!! I love your voice and accent and...I love a man who decides to do something positive and just does it! I quit too, cold turkey...I will not go back! Well done for both of us!!!

[@thegreat101nt]

This is actually one of the most inspirational video's I've ever seen. I realizing that you're right that cigarettes make you feel worst! I'm just starting to quit, I've just threw out a half of pack that i just bought. I just need to keep my mind on doing other things! And I've noticed that they also makes you lazy!

I am very glad that I came upon this video, today is the beginning of Day 4 for me. The past few days have been hard, very hard. I look forward to the future when I won't have cravings any more. I quit after a doctor's appointment, I heard things I did not want to hear...even though I already knew them. Life is already short enough...I can breathe better. My mind is going crazy though.. I am a fighter. Thank you for your honesty and advice.

Day 2 for me without a cigarette

[@Cohort227]

Good for you Cory!

[@toy4all2playchicky]

Thankyou for sharing your story. Each day I am still a smoker I am finding that I think about quitting more and more each day. I can only imagine the amazing relief I will feel when I FINALLY get enough balls to quit.

[@faresawwad3692]

[@bilal00775]

Thank you brother.. I have quitted like you ..I woke up one day and I talked to a friend and he told me he is having serious problems. he was also a smoker as bad as me.. I decided to quit then ..its been 3 days ow and I am dying to smoke and watching you here.. and after I completed this video I promised myself I will follow you one more day and I will watch u tomorrow again and repeat this promise again

[@MrMikewaits]

I am really impressed man. I was searching for vids on quitting Prozac cold turkey as this is something I'm contemplating. Your video really makes an awesome point. Cigarettes are the problem not the solution. This is not a new concept it's actually something I've heard for years but suddenly it clicked while watching your video. I keep running back to the source of the problem searching for a solution. WOW I can really apply this to most of my bad habits, overeating, gambling etc... Thanks for posting this as it may just have a huge impact on others including myself. Sometimes we build up this fear like stopping is as big as climbing Everest when in fact it really is just simple to make the choice and stand firm. Thanks

[@brianevans1946]

Man I have the worlds respect for you. I lost my father to lung cancer and it was really hard watching him taking 9 months to die..

[@GillDundee]

Thanks for sharing I'm 37 two week ago had small stroke terrified me into quitting smoking It's helpful wen u hear other stories

[@MrFalcon1212]

I woke up this morning, not planning on quitting myself. I have smoked for 10 years about 1/2 pack a day or less. I was very inspired by your video. Thank you so much for making it and sharing your story. your honesty is what makes it seem possible for anyone to quit. lets see how it goes, one hour at a time....

[@heathertheresa5923]

I was just smoking and thought to myself "this is doing nothing for me at all but making me feel like crap, why do I let these things control me" I can't play sports like I use to because I can't breath and I'm only 27. This video is encouraging, there is no real trick....cutting down, using the gums and patches just make the withdrawals drag out longer. You just got to stop and let the cravings pass. It'll be hour by hour for me, thank you for this video.

[@remarkablevisionsllc]

thank you for making this video I hope that I'm as strong as you were when you quit. This is truly one of the best videos I've seen. It felt like it came from the heart. Thanks!!!

[@hemigirl8849]

Hi there, I quit cold turkey on April 7th 2013 ,I woke up that morning and prayed to the lord to take this journey with me, and I felt really at peace, I had very few cravings, I smoked a pack a day for over 25 yrs, I am going to be 48 on the 21st of July, and I've never felt better I've seen your video a long time ago, I just found it again and your right on with things,my hubby still smokes but I don't bother him about it, he will quit on his own time, thanks for the insight on smoking

[@cornfedbiker1]

Your no-nonsense approach is very helpful for me. I'm on day 5 right now, and trying to justify casual smoking... maybe a couple per day, like one after work, one before bed, then maybe more on the weekends... keep it to a pack a week. But, maybe... JUST maybe... I'll actually be ok without smoking at all. I'm still thinking of those key moments that I really miss them. But when I get past them, and end up in bed at the end of the night without having smoked all day, feels pretty darn good... Thanks for putting this video up!

[@skaterbill06]

I'm smoking my last cigarette right now. I tried quitting a few times but I never really wanted to so I always started again. I've finally realized that it's time to quit. I've only been smoking for 3 years and I just turned 18. Too young to ruin my health any more than I have already.

[@JC-ns5uo]

good for you buddy! I decided as you did to quit smoking after +30 years of puffing my life away cold turkey. But just recently my life's been spiraling downwards and I tried so hard not to smoke. I just gave in and had my 1st cigarette since a month ago. I feel like such a failure. But hey... I'm not giving up! I'll start again tomorrow for sure. Thanks for your post and I hope you're still smoke free!

[@robinc8903]

Congrats to you! Im a nurse and smoked on and off and finally quit for good cold turkey. There are no good things about smoking…the price, your health….etc. I just lost a good friend to lung cancer last month…..she left 2 sons. Thanks for the video!

[@trecaneckflawless7573]

This video is awesome, the type of person you are really shows in the end. You've made your decision to quit and you are happy about it, and at the same time you respect people who do smoke. Im quitting today

[@bismilyar]

thanks man. this is the most honest and no bulls*** video on quitting 😀

[@itzmejojo]

Thank you for posting this ... This is nothing but encouragement for me

[@billmcmahon5454]

Excellent vid! I am going to need to watch again. I so desperately want to quit, but I am also afraid to quit (if that makes sense). Started at 15 and am now 50. My cigs have been with me in good times and bad. My cigs and I ...It's like night/day. One doesn't work without the other. What I like about your vid is your calmness. A life will go on type of vibe. That I'll still be me just w/o the smokes. Thanks! Again..good vid.

[@jennifurrr1625]

how are you getting on?
