To anyone who watches this video... Pay attention to how OLD this video is. Things are a whole lot different nowadays. The title ought to be changed to "Doctors Reveal What Med Schools Were Not Teaching A Long Time Ago." Nevertheless, nice vid. Good historical accounting. And yes, I am a doctor.

Your comment is an interesting one and I am sure that some medical schools have changed since this film was made. Unfortunately, some have not. Nonetheless, it is a meaningful suggestion and I have changed my title as a result.

Thank you.

@arsenedevos Don't smoke weed, Vaporize eat pot butter or use hash errlz. The only unhealthy aspect about today's cannabis use is the inhalation of combusted plant materials. Thc in it's self is 100% harmless so use it every day! I know I do. There is not 1 physically addictive compound in cannabis.

Quitters are losers

[amer1cancer2753]

should just install a policy where citizens are obligated to punch smokers in the face if seen smoking. if that doesnt help people to quit smoking i dont know what will

Smoking is unwise. Do weed once a week or month or so. You'll enjoy it! But smoking cigarette packs a day? You only destroy your lungs.

There's a plant called Artemesia Vulgaris, aka Mugwort, which you can buy cheap on the internet. It was used to brew beer before the discovery of hops, it was also called "sailor's tobacco" and used for thousands of years. It's non-addictive, mellow-tasting, and gives you very vivid and cool dreams.

It's far safer than tobacco, and makes a good alternative. It's only unsafe to pregnant women, because it's an "abortificant" and causes miscarriage. Other than that it's totally safe.

My dog had to be put to sleep a few days ago, he got lymphoma from 2nd hand smoke! It was horrible to watch the poor thing suffer, with a huge puss-dripping lump on his throat. I tried everything to treat it, but it was untreatable. He finally could do nothing but lay around dry heaving and choking, and not eating or drinking. Don't believe the bullshit smokers will tell you to justify their addiction! 2nd hand smoke KILLS!

Phillip Morris HQ needs another earthquake or a tornado.

It took less than 15 years of smoking cigarettes for my teeth to rot and fall out. I take care of my teeth, there was no reason for them to fall out. I had a wisdom tooth removed and the moment the dentist looked in my mouth, he asked how long I had been smoking. Now random people I meet think I'm a meth-head because of my teeth, but I've NEVER done meth, EVER!

15 years, that's all it took. Word to the wise, quit while you can before it's too late!

Marlboro flavors their cigs with a plant called Deerstongue. It's at least as addictive as nicotine, and possibly more dangerous than the tobacco itself.

If you do a web search for "Deerstongue herb" you will notice that the first page and a half of links are to witchcraft websites. Why? Because it's DESIGNED to control and kill you. Period. Cigarettes are the devil's dick, suck it at your own risk.
