October 30, 201412 yr Joel's Halloween Fearfest https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IPynhryM2RY Halloween is a holiday where people try to scare themselves. It is a perfect holiday to address irrational fears people have regarding quitting as well as the frightening realities faced by people who smoke and do not quit. For those looking for blood and guts, some of the videos linked below will meet those needs too. What is really scary is that all of the stories and pictures related in those videos are real. Scaring yourself to death is really pretty hard to do. Smoking yourself to death isn't. Don't use fear to trick yourself into not quitting--treat yourself to a healthier and happier life by making and sticking to a personal commitment to never take another puff.Videos addressing the fears surrounding quitting smoking:The fear of failurehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_64R...The fear of successhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHhWS...The fear of relapsinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoWuS...Quitting smoking out of fearhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wpre...Everything you did as a smoker you can do as an ex-smokerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqlyA...Videos addressing to the scary effects of smoking with no gory pictures:"I don't want to see any scary pictures"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZgIM...Feel what it is like to breathe with emphysemahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf0ts...The Palmolive bottle demonstrationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVbUG..."I can't quit or I won't quit"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i22AI...The power of nicotine addictionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpYRr...Premature deaths caused by smokinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5a7D...For those wanting to see the blood and guts kind of destructions caused by smoking:Heart and circulatory diseaseshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xt9v...Lung cancerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFNv8...See how smoking destroys your lungshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0EHB...

October 31, 201412 yr Is there some sort of visual aid on what it looks like when your body and lungs start to recover from the affects of quitting smoking? I know there is a written timeline. I wished there was some sort of visual aid. I've never been able to find anything. Sometimes actually seeing something trumps imagination. :)
