I only started smoking because in the mental hospital we were only allowed outside for smoke breaks. After a month in there I became addicted. I needed time outside and they provided cigarettes for me to sit out there and smoke.

I cried in my pantry all Easter weekend. I quit cold turkey last time but my husband was alive and my support system. He died in 2018 and when my mother died in 2016 I was smoke free for over 10 years and I was a mess and bought a pack of smokes. Ugh addicted again. I pray, chew nicotine gum, walk. I need slapped..

Totally true, , I'm a life long smoker and the second reason I want to quit is the money it costs, , the first reason is I can't breath, , and that is crazy scary

This video is delusional. Money is not an issue when it come to smoking. Most of those people probably did it out of necessity. This clip isn't helpful at all. Most people smoke due to stress, loss and a dependency to nicotine. If you're doctors be truly helpful.

I've been studying quitting smoking and found a great website at Quit Smoking Crusher (google it if you are interested)

Well I can see this technique will only help if you don't make much money.
