Tobacco effects

[hominusnocturnal1]

Thank you .. im a smoker... as i watch this video a cigar i burning in the ashtray.. and its the last one..

[infitnessity]

I'm a smoke a cigarette after watching this video, not to dis your vid but all this talking makes me want one but great informative inspirational video tho, I'm a 6 year smoker that's actually going to quit cold turkey soon, I've done it before and the reason is because i love body building more! haha

[phatlip2]

I smoked a cigarette once.

[MCPimpinP]

lol I think the reason you lose 7 minutes of your life when you smoke 1 cig is because it takes about 7 mins to smoke.

[azsazz]

but yeah everyone!! thumbs up for him he doesnt smoke and hes doin this for helpin people out there and im a smoker and good for him for not smokin!!

[mangesh1413]

[Rexxar515]

[92AKKORD]

if u sayin a pack a day would cost u $1000 a year, that means 1 pack is only $2.74. Where do u live? cuz im moving there haha.

[frankfrank127]

[99pitbulls]

remember kids, smoking helps you deal with your shitty life, smoking weed helps you deal with your shitty life, bills, rent past due, misrable job, etc.

Smoke up junior!

[SlytherinDeity]

I have smoked about a pack every 2/3 days for the past two years. Let's do some math.

1 pack per 3 days, 30 days in a month = 250 cigarettes a month

3000 per year = 6000 two years.

6000 times 7 minutes for each cigarette = 21,000 minutes off of my life

21,000 divided by 60 (minutes in an hour) = 350 hours off of my life gone

350 divided by 24 (hours in a day) = 14.6 days off of my life

This is a sad reality.

[robbyguy737]

I agree tobacco is horrible for you it kills thousands of people a year but I enjoy to smoke weed every day, and i hate how the government has turned people against it, POT HAS NEVER KILLED ANYONE!!! the only reason it is illegal is because the government cant make money form it, stop being sheep and make your own choices!

[Aman7177]

A pack a day habit in NYC will cost even more, about $4500 a year. Damn i quit!

[bo7mod2009]

i hate my life so i smoke to die slowly and lonly

[neweleans]

Hi guys once i was smoker then i really tried hard to stop it but couldnt stop finally i went to gym n i turn my intrest towards gym n now im healthy....

[tpvalley]

a new gene has been descovered that basically decides how long u live, some have it some dont , those with it even smokers live long lives.

american indians used to live long lives and smoke.

I think smoking and our pollution is a major cause of harm when combined.

[egubrud]

lol 2:05 hitler

[Geeker13]

I am not saying that smoking is good for you, but how come there are more smokers per capita in asia than the US... but the US has a much higher lung cancer rate?

[crazypigeon1]

this kinda helped

[adam940108]

My dad has been smoking since he was 11 yo.. I have to. We stopped a couple a months ago and it feels great =)

[GrizzlyMintDippers]

get a fucking life dude

[rebelknight52]

even though i too am against smoking its been proven that smoking cigarette does not take 7 mins away from your life..and for ppl whor are addicted to smoking they can try non-smokeless tobacco

[mome1a]

I LOVE u me to i m againt somking

[Musickmp3s]

[cj6694]

i understand that tobacco is bad and causes cancer, but marijuana is harmless.

[vietman10]

Well. people like us asian people we care about other people's lives.

[ArtG818]

[KlashaB12]

[hiccaryrock]

Graet Video!

[cannabisisgood420]

what about marijuana. a plant that heals

[YouthHealth]

Stay away from that stuff.

[cannabisisgood420]

im a science major at UC Davis in cali, and i have a 4.0. i am against smoking cigarettes though, that shit is bad for you. oh, and ive never done anything hard in the 4 years ive been smoking. all im trying to say is it doesnt screw you up like most think

[kyrarmadillo]

@YouthHealth horrible advice

[sammybarnet]

@YouthHealth its bad for the lungs however, its good for the heart and brain as it reduces stress dramatically

[yoonografie]

@cannabisisgood420 lol

[beti05]

doode,

NO WONDER you look so familiar.... lol!

[DiariesOfAMadHalfJap]

I love your videos.  They rock ^.^

[Jsmooth7444]

Great video, the facts are there. I just hope you dont hassle smokers though. Good message though.

[YouthHealth]

Thanks for the comment, And I hope I didn't hassle the smokers either. Trying to send a message the best way I can.

-YHA

[groovenet85]

What i would like to know is why doesnt every smoker die of cancer? If the chemicals in smoking are known carcinogens every smoker will die of cancer, but this is not the case.

Anyone know the answer please help?

[YouthHealth]

Based on some Medical Students I've talked with at my University and their colleagues + a bit of research on the net... there's a huge chance smoking leads to lung cancer (a high percentage, which you can probably find online somewhere), but it doesn't always turn out that way. Smoking also causes heart disease and other respiratory diseases.

[Jsmooth7444]

Probably because everyones different (stronger immune system to fight off the toxins etc.)

I didnt get if you were saying they dont exist in the tobacco or? Just a reminder anyone who wants to see the chemicals in your cigs just go to Phillip Morriss's website and I know for a fact they list chemical percentages/what chemicals that are in each cig, by brand.

[Nastycrushbitch]

i only hate smoking of tobacco products. harm reductions for other smokeable stuff. Good video cute asian dude!!

[ChadAsianman]

cigarettes are bad? no way!

[QueenChiomaSinger]

Hunny...I am gonna post this onto myspace bulitine to spread the word and on facebook!! I want people to see your GREAT MESSAGE...well done. Queen Chioma...its so interesting too!! xxx

[YouthHealth]

Thanks for the comments, we'd love to get our videos out there more, to spread the information. We appreciate your help and your support!

-minh

YHA

[QueenChiomaSinger]

You tell them!! God bless you. This video is EXCELLENT your so helpful. I want some of my friends to stop smoking, they need to see this vid :-)

[airshom]

I've been second hand smoking, and it is everywhere... at school, at casinos, and with friends.. now, I got to try to avoid it... good info though.. gave me some thinking... thanks..

[YouthHealth]

Glad to be of help! It is true that second-hand smoking is everywhere, but around my area, public areas are starting to ban smoking.

-minh

[asianriceboy6]

great video. of course smoking sucks a lot. waste a lot of money. you can save over 1000 dollars a year for not smoking. and you can live longer too when you dont smoke. who wants to die at a early age. no one does.

[YouthHealth]

thanks, glad to spread some news of tobacco out there.

-minh

[Evange]

would it have killed you to buy some real cigaretts to use as props? or just make one from paper. Seriously, anything is better than a pen.

[YouthHealth]

yeah, but there were a number of reasons (good ones) that I chose a pen over an actual cigarettes, but in the end the effect of the pen still conveys my message effectively and perfectly. Thanks for your input though.

-minh

[winterbaby017]

Very well done! I absolutely hate the smell... I have never smoked a cigarette in my life and will never do so.

[YouthHealth]

Thanks for the compliment, I too can't stand the smell of a cigarette.

-minh

[tylermanchesteruntd]

not to mention everybody else has to dish out tax dollars for the smokers when they have to go to the ER from a totally preventable cause. (in universal healthcare that is)

[YouthHealth]

True point.  Thanks for sharing this info, definitely something everyone should know!

-minh

[debit256]

what about weed? is it safe?

[tylermanchesteruntd]

NO!

[YouthHealth]

tyler's right, it is not safe! Stay away from cigars, tobacco chew, cigarettes, and other nicotine containing items.

-minh

[quatre00]

Glad you made a video. Very interesting facts. Smoking is a very disgusting habit. Many people in my family smoke! I try to get them to quit, but they just don't listen to reason. Luckily, they live in my hometown (thousands of miles away from me) so I don't have to hang around them smelling their smelliness. hehe. Favorited!

[RogCBrand]

The worst thing is that it's a very expensive habit- not only to pay for the cigarettes, but also all the health problems that come with it, and way too often it's people with little money doing it, so their kids go without or even in some cases we tax payers are even paying welfare for some while they blow a whole lot of money on something that is slowly killing them!

[YouthHealth]

Thanks for sharing. Glad to have made this video. I too have a family member who smokes, but he does so in private, so it keeps the rest of us clan, very kind of him. Take it easy!

[violettfem]

and don't forget the Great American Smokeout is November 16th this year!

[violettfem]

I quit for 2 years now using the patch and quitnet(dot)com.

Online help 24/7 and FREE baby!

good vid, wish I never started. Youth today is much smarter than when I was growing up.

[RogCBrand]

Good luck!  One of the cutest and sweetest girls I know started smoking in her teens. What amazed me with her was that unlike so many smokers she never smelled of smoke and she was always very courteous not to do it around others. She just had her first child a year ago so she decided to quit. That made me happy because I don't want to nag my friends but I also don't want them to die of lung cancer!

[YouthHealth]

I know how you feel, back in high school, a lot of my friends smoked, and still smoke to this day. It's really sad because some of these people are having health problems now.

-minh

[YouthHealth]

Thanks for sharing your experience, you are a great example to smokers out there, that people can quit. Thanks again!

-minh

[RogCBrand]

Thanks for all the stuff you do Minh!!!

[RogCBrand]

Only two people in my family smoke-my evil grandma who lost a lung because of it & my brother who started while in the Marines. Just a minute or two around cigarette smoke gives me a horrible headache so I've never even been tempted to try!

What get's me is those people who because of smoking end up with the hole in their throat yet continue smoking-sticking it in the hole to inhale!!!

[YouthHealth]

Exactly, I'm just hoping that I can spread enough information out there about the dangers of smoking. Thanks for sharing!

-minh

[RogCBrand]

You know, what makes what you do so effective is that I think kids would listen to you in a way they wouldn't for some "public health announcement" done by the government or their parents telling them it's bad. I wish schools would use your videos in health classes!
