Eh, everyone has addictions. Some are more dangerous or less socially acceptable then others. Good example caffeine, not very dangerous if it all in most cases and very socially acceptable. On the other hand smoking is less and less acceptable. Very dangerous, perhaps one of the most dangerous addictions period. Me I'm very for thinking about addiction constructively. Not all addictions are bad things and some can be the end of you. It's important to ask about the value something brings to life rather then if it is addictive. Coffee for instance, i love the stuff. Not just for the caffeine. It's addictive in multiple ways and yet it brings enjoyable rituals, it's Delicious. It is constructively social and increases productivity .

As a former smoker I'd say this video is right on the money. As for the smoker's break, when I quit smoking I suddenly noticed how it was frowned upon when I took a few minutes as opposed to doing the same to smoke a cigarette. Really weird and didn't help with how I experienced the workload at the time.

Smoking breaks still very much exist, at least they do here in Germany and it is absolutely infuriating for non-smokers like myself.

I started smoking at 16 and around 26 I failed to quit nicotine, but switched to a vape. Who knows what that's doing to me, here five years later. Nicotine is horribly addictive. I had to quit for my two pregnancies and picked it right back up as I got overwhelmed with raising babies. ☹️ I'm ashamed that I can't seem to let it go and have so many excuses for why it feels impossible right now (I have had some abnormally severe stressors for the past two years that really aren't putting me in a good place mentally, such as my mom declining and at some point will be dying of the horrific disease ALS, for example). I know there are no valid excuses, I just can't explain how difficult it can be to quit in times of great stress. Thankfully life wasn't so stressful during the times I was pregnant. Anyway, I've cut my nicotine level in half, so I am taking the steps, slowly. I hope anyone out there who's struggling with addiction gets the support and motivation they need to quit before it becomes a serious medical problem.

“Do they though?” Yes that’s the problem with addictions

In a lot of call centers I've worked in (Glasgow Scotland) smokers would be alllowed to go outside to smoke and it not be counted as their official break time. So they would get an extra 20 mins or so a day of breaks. Same when I worked in recruitment. Thats a recently as 4 years ago.

1:47 I worked at a Japanese owned company for awhile (in the United States; California specifically) and they had dedicated smoke breaks though at some point when working there someone made a big enough deal about it so everyone got 3 15 minute breaks you could do that wouldn't count against your overall time worked for that day.

My mother smoked from 17 until she was in her 40s. She quit cold turkey after a cancer false alarm scare for her family and hasn't touched a smoke since. She's like her mid 60s now and says to this day she doesn't regret quitting

On the smoke break: I was told, at my minimum wage fast food job, that every 2 hours at work, I am allowed to take a 15 minute break, and then after 4 hours I take a lunch break. I realized later that this was a smoke break kind of thing.

I've worked for a lot of companies, depending on management (usually also smokers), we'd get "smoke breaks" which were on the clock. They weren't defined or determined, just "have a quick smoke and get back to work". Of course, often you'd need to keep an eye out for customers while smoking, and occasionally pause to ring one up.

Smokers where I worked often took unofficial breaks and got sympathy from management (who near-universally also smoked) in taking these breaks, which management would often encourage.

"if that was all smoking did, well that would be kind of ok" Yeah.... Unfortunately, coating the inside of your lungs with a bunch of radioactive soot and tar is gonna be much worse than just addictive.

What you should do is watch the entire video. The biggining and topic is just there to attract people to click into it. The video it self is telling people to stop or don't even start smoking.

Former smoker here: there's a common myth that when you quit smoking, you become angrier and more aggressive. I think that myth came about from people who quit smoking during the rise of leaded gasoline. They no longer had the lead in their cigarettes but they still had the lead from vehicle emissions, which we know 'lead' (pun not intended) to increased aggression. I started and stopped smoking after the end of leaded gasoline and retrospectively, my feelings of anger and aggression throughout my life sharply coincide with when I started and stopped smoking. Even the weight gain aspect seems to be a myth in my case (it was three years later until that happened, when the pandemic started and I simultaneously found a full flavor beer that I loved) ALSO: nobody ever told me that when I quit smoking that the regrowth of cilia hairs would be INCREDIBLY ITCHY. Imagine the itchiness you get after shaving, when the stubble starts to regrow, but it's inside your lungs. That was exponentially worse than the withdrawal phase. If I had to turn someone off from smoking, I wouldn't mention the cancer, gum loss, any of that. I'd mention the freaking lung stubble.

Before you got a break when you smoked, now no one gets breaks.

I do internal computer support for a bank and smokers would use the dynamically allocated break times to go outside and smoke together, but everyone has 45 minutes of break you can use at any time. And theyll always be together during lunch break if their breaks align.

The radiation isn't gonna be a big issue as a whole body radiation. It's more that a very thin layer of absolutely vital tissue is being repeatedly hit by highly targeted radiation.

Interesting reaction. The first time I heard that there are radioactive compounds inside cigarette smoke. Which is very interesting as the carcinogenic effects of the chemicals present are widely known and mentioned multiple times in biology lessons/textbooks. Makes complete sense though. However, in terms of health effects it is not clear whether it is the carcinogenic effect of the chemical compounds that is greater than the carcinogenic effect of the radiation. The inflammation caused by nicotine leading to emphysema is also a very important factor. The reason alveoli stop being able to expand and contract properly is due to elastin damage caused by the inflammation. Regarding 8:10, the video is slightly misleading, but ultimately correct. Goblet cells are a type of epithelial cells which produce mucous inside the major airways(the trachea, bronchi, and larger bronchioles) and the intestines. They are not present in the alveoli and smaller airways which was not explicitly stated. Their name comes from their appearance. What produces the alveolar surfactant that makes the walls of the alveoli not collapse are type II pneumocytes.

As someone who lost his grandfather to lung cancer a few years ago, this was really difficult to watch, but also really informative.

I remember I was about six or seven when my parents would take me out to eat and we'd sit in the smoking section LOL. I hadn't thought about that in so long.

i love the climate change context provided by YT.....

The 15 minute break is still around, but only for certain industries. I’ve heard people in retail get them. People working fast food typically take them anyway, but aren’t supposed to.

In some lower end pubs and clubs in the the UK the only offered breaks are smoking breaks. It's not legal in part or full time employment but for zero-hour contract shift work it's sort of undefined

I work at O’Reillys a car parts store, some of my coworkers were smokers they are allowed a 10 minute break every hour or so. Me a non smoker gets a 1 hour meal break per shift

I'm actually smoking a cigarette while watching that video. 😂 In Austria we have a region in lower Austria where natural Uraniumore is very present in surface near rocks, living there adds around 0.004msv per year compared to the average dose. A small part of radiation is still caused by the leftovers of the Chernobyl fallout, that partly came down over large areas of Austria, it adds ~0.002msv at some places even up to 0.008msv/year, measured in 2022. Its not very much but you still can find decayproducts from Chernobyl in the drinkingwater. The highest dose that exceeds the average doses comes from radon gas, depending on the region it varies between 1.2msv up to 10msv/year.

1:55 I've only ever heard of the "Smoke Break" bonus in regards to a leniency. Its a known addiction, so if you see someone jittery you wouldn't make it an issue when you see them taking extra time when taking out the trash to smoke a cigarette.

In Australia, especially around factories, there are many workplaces that actually still implement "smoking-only breaks"... To clarify further, these breaks were and are (although less today), given ON TOP of breaks you are already given, so by smoking, you gain more breaks! We even have a word for it, "Smoko" pronounces smoke-oh , we'd use it like "yeah gonna go have a smoko soon" to refer to this. Although in modern day, many Australians will use the term smoko to mean any break from anything, not necessarily related to smoking at all anymore. Present day, they are quite controversial and many companies are trying to phase them out, not without backlash from a workforce that has grown accustomed to it!

At the company I currently work at, while I don't believe there's a company stipulation that says smoking breaks are available for those who smoke, a number of my co-workers do take smoke breaks relatively often. Some of them only being 5 minutes apart. I do think some are getting in trouble for taking so many breaks but all in all there seems to be no policy towards outright banning it or lumping it as just a regular break. You just kind of take one whenever you need one. I who has never smoked and have intention of doing so finds this rather fascinating to witness. I'll see the same co-worker go out for a smoke break every 10 minutes like clockwork.

Not to promote smoking but just saying: So is breathing in a house that is built on a certain type of land that releases radon gas. Without proper air condition piping system (aka radon remover) this can cause lung cancer for some non-smokers.

5:00 thank you for explaining this part. For quite a while I was wondering how these particles were actually getting into the cigarettes and if radioactive particles related warnings were actually true. Though if tobbaco plants absorb those from air and earth, I doubt this is the only plant that does that. Making me wonder what other plants do that as well, especially edible ones - it probably doesn't matter if such particles are in leaves, fruits or seeds. It probably doesn't make much difference if radioactive isotopes get stuck in lungs because of tar mess/stains or simply eaten. And if that were to be true, I wonder why it is only a bad thing in case of cigarettes and silly trivia in case of radioactive bananas.

The lungs are indeed very easy to damage (for example, there are a number of substances, such as asbestos, that are inert and cannot cause any damage anywhere except the lungs; these fine substances are the reason why many factories now need to use masks with filters for constant wear), in different from the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, bananas contain another, less dangerous isotope of potassium-40; almost all chemical substances have such twin brothers, but they will never come close in danger and radiation power to the truly radioactive substances at the bottom of the periodic table.

Ай бұрын

Basically the same as smoking but not inside the lungs. Radiation Concerns Dipping tobacco contains naturally occurring radioactive substances such as: Polonium-210 Lead-210 These radioactive materials come from the fertilizer used in tobacco farming and from the decay of radon gas in the soil where the tobacco is grown. When users place the tobacco in their mouths, these substances can be absorbed into the body, contributing to the risk of cancer. The presence of radioactive materials, though in small amounts, is an additional carcinogenic factor that compounds the risks associated with other harmful chemicals in tobacco.

not all carcinogens are radioactive, the property of a group of these substances is that they can cause molecular damage, injuring DNA in particular, radioactive radiation does this, but some fine substances can cause the same damage mechanically; approximately as if an image printed on a printer fades and the colors disappear in the sun (this is as if DNA is exposed to radioactive radiation), or the image is rubbed with sandpaper and partially erased (this is how other carcinogens work), in general the mechanisms are different, but the result is the same - an error in DNA replication and subsequent mutation of the cell exposed to the substance occurred
