[graffiti0les]

wow...that was crazy intense! but awesome at the same time :)

[BmxTalk]

how can i get her to come to my school!?

[soulmercer]

That is really awful. I would like to know how long she smoked, to get an idea of how short a time it takes to get cancer.

[evilalex801]

i would be the happiest pearson in the world. If you could do a speech at my school. East High School in Salt Lake City Utah. I think that it would help my school alot with smoking i hate the taste of them and the smell. I would love someone to come i'd love for Terrie Hall to come down. It would make me feel so much better to let the students hear your speech. I hate smoking i wish it would just go away Thank You Alex Holmes Salt Lake City Utah..

I remember when I was going to NA and if I would mention my struggles with smoking some would be highly offended and would say to me that smoking is not a drug and not addicting. It was the most powerful addiction I ever had to give up. But was able to do it because I did not want to die.

[marciarodriguez123]

Wow...that's powerful. Thank you Terrie for sharing your inspiring story. That is the ultimate gift you could give these young people to share your story. the gift of love that you do not want to see this happen to anyone else.  Thank you.

[EvermoreSarr]

What a sweetheart. If I could give her the biggest hug I would.

I feel bad that she had to go through all that she had to,

and Im happy that she is sharing her story to all of us to show what a horrible thing smoking really is. I love you Terrie, your strong and beautiful I promise,.

Love always <3 Sarah

Wow, they don't wash the tobacco? Well I guess they don't need to - it wouldn't help anything.

[PrehistoricPlague]

I have never smoked, never wanted to touch one. Before I was even born, my birth mother was a smoker and a drinker. I'm adopted now, but thanks to cigarettes and whatever else, I have breathing problems, I will occasionally stop breathing, and I have a very poor immune system. It doesn't just affect you it affects those around you. She's so inspiring...she really is.

[TheRettom]

I feel so bad for this woman. But she has changed :)

God bless her.

[SATAN1KO]

It sucks to watch this and then have a battle inside my mind...half of my brain is telling me to stop and the other half of my brain is excited for the next time i light up...ughh this sucks

[TRUTHAgainstTobacco]

@SATAN1KO That's the nicotine talking, dude. Find a friend who can be your sponsor (so you'll have somebody to call at 3 AM when you're ready to snap) - then call us at 1.800.QUIT.NOW. It's free, and will improve your odds of being able to quit by about half. You can do it. Break the shackles.

[asiansarechinks]

I hope i never touch one cigarette, I will always look up to this powerful, lady who inspired all of us kids to never smoke a cigarette in our life. Man you got to love her, thumbs up if you agree with me.

[spoc15]

No matter what people say, She is still a beautiful women and this needs to be spread around the world like the Nyan cat.

[theCodeMonsters]

Thumbs up you will stop or never try smoking.

[GirlsGotSwaggg]

I absolutely love this woman for all she's gone through, and for how inspiring she is. I will never touch a cigarette. Ever.

[kAlIfAlEpOlOgA]

dang this makes me feel like crap:( two months i quit... and i lit one up today:(

[TRUTHAgainstTobacco]

@kAlIfAlEpOlOgA Don't beat yourself up - gets ya nowhere. Just get back on the horse!

[LungLump]

I burst into tears when everybody started standing up and cheering. This is powerful and inspiring.

[EbonyShadow07]

This woman is so strong. I'm really glad that she is speaking out. This is a powerful campaign that needs to reach a lot of people.

[msbooboobear32]

This is soo sad!! It is really brave for this woman to talk to us teenagers.

[poptart960]

ya never take your first cigrrette i havn't i never will and if your friends are pushing u into it than there are not your friends and instead of smoking how about u chew some BUBBLE GUM! (:

[poptart960]

this women is so inspiring and i dont wanna smoke now and i am 14 and i am never gonna smoke and this women is so strong and brave i luv her! (:

[henrythomas123]

hole my god

[TRUTHAgainstTobacco]

@KillzTaSpit We'd love to help you out with that. It's hard, but you CAN do it. Folks quit all the time. Try to go just one day without a cigarette and see how it feels - prove to yourself that you can indeed live without cigarettes. Show those little mothers who's boss.

When the time is right, call us at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. We'll give you free over the phone help from professional quit coaches and free nicotine patches or gum!

[SrgFuery]

What a strong woman.

[badbundle]

This is devestating. I can't belive it. But it's lucky I never started. If any of you haven't smoked yet and you are reading this, how to avoid it is NEVER TO TAKE THAT FIRST CIGARRETTE or whatever you take. That's when you get addicted.

[vexun11]

The only way I was able to quit smoking was Chantex, I havent had a smoke in almost 2 years.
