CDC: Tips From Former Smokers - Sharon A.’s “Treadmill” Tips Commercial
Sharon started smoking menthol cigarettes at age 13. When she was in her late 30s, she was diagnosed with throat cancer and she quit smoking. Despite repeated surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, doctors had to remove Sharon’s voice box to save her life. In this commercial, Sharon shares that walking every day makes her feel like herself again-almost.

Bro I saw this 2 months ago and I never smoked a single cigarette after that day. The trick is to replace the urge with something like doing pushups. Now I have abs ;)

I’ve known smokers who quit. Keeping their sense of humor was difficult. This song and its lyrics can help - “Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette- Smoke, smoke, smoke yourself to death. Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate you just hate to make him wait, but your just gotta have another cigarette." Search: Tex Williams smoke smoke music
I think Sharon is a nice girl, even though she smoked and was able to quit.

All of these ads miss the most deadly side effect: They've taught the doctors to ignore all else going on with their patients. Quite literally. Raging infection on my finger, undiagnosed, untreated, the doctor left it at "But you smoke." Long COVID, "But you smoke." Even a doctor I know socially, "I don't want to talk to you, if you still smoke." I wonder with these ads, if persons' disease is from the doctors ignoring let alone address their early symptoms with "But you smoke."
This is what smoking gets people to, sounding like Casey Jr. from Dumbo, with just as much smoke tied with the comparison of the little steam engine that could? Some life. 🚬😟🤢
I love her shoes!
This video played before I watched a Terminator Dark fate review. What a coincidence!
omg.. I saw the other video of sharon like some time ago and now she has changed so bad… please don’t start smoking and if u do please just look out you don’t wanna end up as this!!🙏
The sad thing is, even when u have watched all these videos and had countless people come to ur school as a kid to show u what its like when the affects of smoking can do to u....its sad that addiction can be so powerful that not only do u loose ur voice..but u loose parts of urself that u wont ever get back. I struggled with addiction since highschool and being allmost 30, i might end up with throat cancer too.
i just seen this commercial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what happens after you smoked too much
I saw this on tv, I thought it was fake but I’m not surprised it was real, NNEEEVVVERR SMOKE, AND DONT START. It’s easy to say no to smoking then to suffer cancer and get your voice box removed

Statement: If I had a voice box like that because of throat cancer I would make the best of it and totally want to sound like HK-47. Statement: I would be stating my sentence types everywhere.
If this won’t get teens to stop smoking then humanity is doomed.

Do you actually have any idea how hard it is to quit? Nicotine is an addictive chemical, that releases dopamine in the brain and helps relieve stress, it isn't as hard to quit as you think, I would know. My mom smoked after my siblings were born to cope with the stress after my dad dying, it took her about 50% of my life to quit, so it took about perhaps 6/12 years to quit. Now come back when you've actually learned something.

@@ash5939 And just a side note. Nicotine, compared with alcohol or caffeine, is known for its extremly addictive effects. It rates right down to heroin and cocaine. It accelerates the production of dopaminergic hormones. This is the reason for your temporary happiness you get from smoking. But, this "hype" cools down very quickly, and you will immediately want more and more cigarettes. That's how you get addicted.
