CDC: Tips From Former Smokers – Terrie H.: “Terrie, What Are You Doing?”
Terrie smoked her first cigarette at 13. In 2000, she found a sore in her mouth that was diagnosed as oral cancer. Later she found out she had throat cancer. In this video from CDC’s Tips From Former Smokers campaign, Terrie talks about getting home from the hospital after having surgery and her first realization […]
she is only 52?! looks about 65
Cancer is ur hell
She should have smoked reefer instead
Terrie, you didn't know what you wee getting yourself into, but now knowing what can happen to people, it just made me cry and cry. When I saw a comment saying "R.I.P Terrie" I cried and prayed that you were still here, but sadly that could no longer physically be real. I tried to deny it in my mind but I saw you in my mind saying "Its okay.". I know that you're still here. I have been moved and want to stop people from smoking more than ever. You put your word out there, now its our own to pass along.
I quit on Tuesday 5th 2018 I woke up sick and tired of not being able to breath , stinking , always worried about were I was going to get my next smoke break .
What really opened my eyes was helping a friend move last month I could hardly breath . We went on a trip to Hawaii last month as well . We had a layover in Sacramento I had to smoke so we went out past security and then tried to get back through and we’re stuck ! They wouldn’t let us back in because our tickets didn’t say Sacramento to Maui they said Seattle to Maui . We got lucky and got a very nice lady to reprint out tickets and got through security with only minutes to spare . All because of smoking we could have lost our trip to Maui . That’s nothing compared to what this poor woman is going through now I quit cold turkey on Tuesday I use the gum to help and it’s working! Please quit now !
they showed this in class sieriously w0t m8?
She's a ghoul from fallout 4
My dad smokes like 3-4 cigarettes a day is that a heavy smoker ??
R.I.P. Beautiful ⚘
I cry😭 Terrie is so beautiful women!
I'm watching these videos because I was gonna start smoking… Dont think I will again. So thank you.
a 12 yr old handed me a cigarette when i was 4… i didn’t know what it was so i smoked it after that i got a nose bleed
Negative Motivation is NOT Motivating, it's Threats of Death!!
Terrie you are a beautiful woman and I could see the fear in yours eyes. Rip terrie. You were regretting what you did but it was too late to stop.
Rip
Used to smoke i was never addicted it was just for the head rush then i stopped cause it was affecting my lungs making it harder to do my cardio/workout/etc thank god i stopped
it's so unfair that some people can smoke for 50-60 years, and die of old age a natural death..while some very unlucky people can get such horrible illnesses early in life causing unspeakable suffering. looking at her you'd think she used to do crack or meth..when in reality her face and neck are literally burned from all the radiation, and surgeries.
My mum and dad will never stop smoking. They smoke too much I reckon(especially my mum). She says “oh I’m gonna quit starting tomoz” but then she is back on smoking again. I never believe her nowadays and I don’t want my parents dying young. There is nothing I can do… I also hate the smell of it and my lil sis is constantly around cigarettes and I don’t want her to end up like them
These videos show that you should never try cigarettes I definitely wont
I used to smoke cigarettes until I had to quit I don't smoke cigarettes anymore
RIP Terrie
my brother is 18 and he is a smoker i try to get him to stop i knocked the ciggarette out of his mouth he just started punching me i try showing him this video i got my mom to quit

Not guaranteed that cigarettes cause cancer why : I’m from Lebanon I live in Canada my neighbour in Lebanon lived 94years and he smoked 80 years when he was 14 , 8 years before his death he got brain stroke which made him handicap until death and he didn’t die with cancer 👉🏿 my grandfather smoked 27 years the old rolled tobacco without filterless , and he quit 30 years before his death with heart disease , my 2 cousins were non smoker never smoked the one was died with stomach cancer and other still with kidneys cancer … 16 years old passed away with cancer he was cousin too … cancer is unknown reasons
My teacher showed me this on Health Education. My teacher said to not smoke or you'll end up like this. I hope this woman is resting well. Rip.

There is NO way that I will EVER smoke…it's not worth it.

Honestly vaping helps, used to laugh at vapers but I tried it out and have stopped smoking for 4 weeks

Rest in Peace, Terrie. I don't smoke, but I am grateful these commercials were made. God bless the family.

I like your voice
I always stay away from smoking, I dont even go near that person who smokes!! BEWARE!!!!
Rip terrie
Poor me had my first ciaggrate today itself
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."

Tex Williams smoke smoke music
I'm 15 I'm just curious I'll try but I'll stop after a week
This is really sad I feel so bad for terrie
They should make a movie about her with Toni Collete as her
I hope she’s okay
Lol
I never realized how powerful cigarette addiction can have over you. Wow
Chocolate
So sad
I would rather die, than to live with that voice and look. I'm sorry for her tough. May god bless her.
What would you do? She saved me! Everybody told me to quit. I listened to her.
cancer just straight up boonk ganged her life fr fr
It started with those back in the day 6070 stupid advertisements for cigarettes. They would advertise about their products and why and say that things are not true like the throat cancer and stuff like that. Well 20 years later examine everyone who has died from cigarettes. A lot of them
This isn’t changing anything, more and more people will end up as her.
I used to smoke ( for about 5 years ) on and off.
I got bronchitis constantly because of it. Videos like this made me quit!
I hate cigarettes. I don’t like the smell anymore. It’s just gross. I can’t believe I ever stated in the first place.
THE DOCTOR PROBABLY HAD A STEAK DINNER AFTER HER SURGERY… I LIKE TO DRINK AND DRIVE.
She sounds like Marge from the Simpsons
She’s a hero, even tho she died she’s still a hero
I’m 11 and I’ve tried smoking a couple times.
Tbh idek whi would get addicted to that stuff. It’s so nasty
Sounds like she's burping
Their selling chocolate??!!!
Guys I don't think she was about to cry, it was her trouble breathing
Thing about her is that she proably smokes a pack a day be smart like me and only smoke 1 every other day
My mother always uses the same argument. "Nothing bad has happened to me and i've been smoking for over 20 years". Yeah, thing is, some things can be going on under the surface, some of them even down to the microscopic level, so just because you don't Feel immediate effects, that doesn't mean they aren't there.
Im on 9th grade(15) when I started smoking on a regular basis, I used to smoke 1 cig a day when I was 15 but, then after several months it became 2, then 3… Now I'm 17 and I smoke 3-5 times a day I smoke before going to school and after, it's my daily habit, and stress reliever (i never smoked during Sundays) , when on a party I can smoke about a pack(15-20 cigs) I also used to drink once a week with peers, it hasn't affected my health lately, I'm still healthy plus the doctor said I had an outstanding vision of 20/13,…. Cigarettes is good for me, when I smoke I can think straight and I feel a sense of calmness, technically I'm not addicted to it I can stop whenever I feel to, i don't know, i feel cool when i smoke
Lol
When you smoke a cigarette and you lose your voice what does the hole in your throat do.Like I know it helps you speak but why do they cut a hole in your throat
Marge Simpson voice actress
I feel so bad..she doesn’t deserve this..
Omg she nearly broke down. 🙁
Wishing you get well😭💔
Stick to weed and dab pens 🤗👍
