CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Terrie H.’s I Wish Tip

She smoked too much and never had a job, was unhealthy. If she moderated and worked harder she'd have been fine having a few darts.

Im still smoking im 26 ,on them 10 years hoping to get off them before im 30

Omg that couldnt be from smoking

you know who really did this? The tobacco companies.
My father used to say; "Oh everyone smoked in the 1800's and cancer was almost unknown, it's all the vehicles that cause cancer." He died 20 years ago after his 2nd heart attack. Mother died 12 years ago from COPD. Both heavy smokers, dad hand roll, mum tailor mades.
A few months ago I was digging in my garden and I found some old pieces of clay pipes from the 1800-early 1900's. I saw why the smokers back then didn't get half the smoking related diseases we get now, the hole in the pipe stem was a sewing needle size, and the bowl held about a teaspoon of tobacco. Now, cigarettes today are ten times the size and if you hand roll the papers allow you to build a large smoke. 
Just like the toothpaste company who doubles profit by doubling the size of the hole in the tube, tobacco companies made cigarettes bigger and bigger so you got more of that good old addictive smoke in you, and then they turned it from something you did at the end of the day with a pint of beer, probably a todays cigarette worth smoked all day to being something you did from the moment you woke up until you went to bed. It's true no-one forces you to smoke, but the advertising back in the 60's-70's made fairly certain most people did.

Something I wish to show to everyone at my college campus! This is not how you want to spend your future!!!
Message to other Gen Zers out there, please don’t smoke, even if it’s becoming “trendy rn and everyone is doing it”! Also why tf is smoking becoming trendy again!? Trends don’t gaf bout your long term health!
- a Gen Zer whose worried af for other Gen Zers

This is scary.

RIP Terrie.

She should've smoked cigars ! We don't inhale 😂!

Okay this did actually helped me to quit vaping, and smoking.

Thanks. I will show This to my mom. (My dad wants to quit but mom doesn’t)

Kids been asking this question many times after their parent’s death “If only those tobacco, cigar, etc did not exist, parents should be alive and have fun with videogames or comic with their children instead… Which is I have been agree for all these years.

I quit smoking in 2007 after vowing I’d give it up before I turned 40. I made it and stopped by age 39, but it took multiple tries. It still scares me how much damage I probably did in that 20 year period. Seeing Terrie’s ads a few years later certainly convinced me I made the right choice.

Maybe once the government goes after obesity like they have tobacco, I'll care

Crazy world

Why is it a thing ban it now

As someone who is too young to smoke, I can say this scared me off for life. No way I'm ever touching a cigarette in my life

The real reason for these ads has the US government doesn't want to pay for people who don't have medical insurance there's nothing sincere about them😮

Yeah…I think I might get rid of my vapes….

God Bless Terri I Know She's In A Better Place.

wheels on the bus go round and round

She sounds like Gollum💀💀💀

I'm sorry. I know this is serious, but... but come on. What percentage of smokers turn out like this?

Guys it marlboro woman!!!!

20 year old Terrie 😍

I don’t get why vaping or smoking is popular because yeah, you might get like five seconds of relief but all the negatives that you’re doing to your body it’s not worth it

I’m 18 hours without a cigarette. This is hard.

Even so many years after her death, it just keeps breaking my heart seeing her like that. My tears just won't stop falling watching these videos...

Nossa

Its crazy i used to see this commercial on tv and still proceeded to becoming a smoker.

BLUD IS SINGING FOR US🗣🗣‼️‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥

Much less picked up and smoked it

No I like smoking and I never regretted that a single moment.

rip :(

Damn. I’ve been smoking for a month. I’m 18 years old

She could’ve modeled at 20 but instead smoked and it led to an early death

Same, when I get older, I wish I could never see a cigarette, even on a ground in my single life as well!

RIP Terrie Hall (7/16/1960 - 9/16/2013)

When I was quiting smoking 2 years ago I would watch these ads and stories every time I had a craving. I smoked for 13 years and been smoke free 2 years now. I can't stand the smell of them now

Smoking ruins your skin and beauty
Smoking ruin masculinity to
Now terrie was not attractive before her death she lost her teeth voice and hair now she looks like welted person
Like yuel brunner said when im gone dont smoke what ever you do dont smoke
Terrie would say quit smoking while you can and if dont smoke dont ever start
I believe terrie is in heaven with god and the angel were she can be beautiful and free of pain

Terrie, You weren't the only one with a hole in your neck, Shawn, Shannon and Shane had a laryngectomy/tracheostomy after smoking...

I'm glad I quit 10 years ago first two and a half months suck real bad screw you nicotine I got you beat

Ich rauche seit zwei Jahren nicht mehr !! Ich bin sehr froh darüber

I wish I had 👎 seen a 🚬 in my entire life I truly do I wish I’d 👎 ever seen ☝️ much less picked it up and smoked it
