Heading into 50 days smoke free and I still thank you, your vids helped me alot during the process to getting where I am today.. Sir.. I salute you I hope you can help others the way you helped me

[theexsmoker2008]

Holy Shit !!!! 50 DAYS !!! YEAAAAAAHHHHH GO GO GO GO !!! Thats it you are officially free!!

Now be smart..realise what life changing decision you have made. Walk tall !! you are a champion!! Your life is yours now. Not the tobacco company's.

I'm so happy for you. Everyday just smile and keep saying "I AM AM EX-SMOKER" say it loud and proud...always remember that your life is so much better without that evil poison. You are your own star now and you should never think "JUST ONE SMOKE" well done.

So the tobacco companies have been stopped from advertising cigarettes before a certain time on TV and in movies (or at least I think, I'm not fully aware of the restrictions). When you key into YouTube search the word 'smoking' and you start looking at the videos, you'll come across videos of women (mostly young girls) sat smoking in front of the camera and trying to look sexy ... a so-called smoking fetish? With this type of behaviour do the tobacco companies need advertising? Do they need TV?

[theexsmoker2008]

I have done that search too..I did it last year and it's true...we have a nice selection of no-brainers wishing they looked sexy smoking but hey..I got a great laugh and felt great sorrow too that these poor people don't have the common sense to see what they really are doing. Its a pity that youtube allows this indirect advertising on here.

Also trust me ...Tobacco comps dont need TV or Youtube or other media really. Just walk the streets and look...we all were ADS for them at one point.

I think you've mentioned in one of your videos, Anthony, about the tobacco companies being in cahoots with the media. I think it's always easy to tell if the tobacco companies are behind an advertisment, because the advertisment always has an air of humour or light-heartedness towards cigarettes — which we all know is wrong, but the tobacco companies would have us believe that a cigarette is the most precious thing in the world...

[spicemad]

There is an advertisment on TV in the UK, a very annoying one called 'the gag break.' What annoys me more with it is how they make it so light-hearted and humorous. It's an advert for some type of NRT, but in my opinion that's not much better than cigarettes — just another greedy company who's seen the huge potential to make money ... and where nicotine is concered there's a lot of money to be made.

[theexsmoker2008]

The freedopm will come when you push open an always unlocked prison door. Dont listen to the ego voices that the tobacco companies put inside your mind...they are loud and they could be wrong...listen to your higher voice..the voice you...only you trust...you know this voice very well..it is the quiet ..calm...soothing voice that says quite simply but powerfully " You know what is right...you know what is wrong...you know what to do"

Think about that.

[theexsmoker2008]

hi there...thanks for your kind words. Stopping starting stopping starting is what I did for six years...With respect...

Stupidity defined is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result ;)

I suggest you focus on what you want not what have ...or have had in the past...thats gone...time to clean the house...time to make a decision..true decision or nicotine will make a decision for you. Dont stop stopping! just make that true desicion to get your life back. dont be afraid

[ujjwalsaha1980]
