My mother was a heavy smoker. When my mother was dying of lung cancer in Palliative care, I made a number of sketches of her. I did not do anything with the sketches for several years, then I made a silkscreen about loss called Never Easy. This animation is based on the image from that print. My mother died of lung cancer in 1993, it took me another 6 years to successfully quit smoking myself. Buyers beware. (this was a segment in an earlier video).

Oriental people, who haven’t adopted a Western diet, do not contract cancer as they consume daily Amygdalin-rich bamboo. Grasses, especially of the long-leaf variety, have high concentrations of Amygdalin. Ruminants (grass-eating animals) do not contract cancer until they are placed in the captivity of zoos & feed-lots. Carnivores acquire their Amygdalin by eating the contents of the rumen and intestines of their prey.
BUT AT LEAST SHE DYED HAPPY thats what all the white trash say
@danny5766 yes it is mind over matter.

Nothing I did or use led me to quit smoking except Electronic Cigarette’s…
I went with the Volcano Magma, and haven’t’ look back at analog cigarette’s after 11 years of smoking, now how’s that?…. you think it won’t cut it for you becuz your a hardcore smoker?… then think again my friend!… I quit smoking with E-cigs.

Thank you for making this. It is helping motivate me to stay off the tobacco.
25 years of smoking off and on. Tried quitting so many times. Hopefully it will stick this time. 11 days now. I personally think tobacco should be illegal. It serves no purpose except to kill of the population, raise taxes, and keep social security from going bankrupt., by killing off the individuals before they can collect it. Thanks again for the very powerful video. So sorry for the loss of your mother.
oman i been smokin for 5 yrs so hard to quit right now, its only been 3 days
omg im so sorry i hope your ok plz get better of your moms death
thats weird cause i was born 1993. I feel for you.
this is sad. i hope i dont have to see my mom go through this. she is currently fighting her luing cancer. thankfully it has not spread to anything else. may your mom rest in peace.
My father died of lung cancer several years ago. For a long time I used to become enraged when I would see someone smoking. I wish they would outlaw cigarettes.
i quit “2-years ago” due to these videos! without these youtube video warnings/education-i dought i would have quit! i know for sure now that after 2-years as a non-smoker,i’ll NEVER-EVER SMOKE AGAIN IN MY LIFE! IM 46 years old now.

Controlling blood sugars by eating a diet like protein and vegetetables, lots of juices to keep you healthy. I don’t smoke anymore and in my opinion, it is easier if your healthy, so you can hasndle stress, detox better. I found the patch and the gum was important. I got very ill on the patch and gum in the end that it put me of the nictoine in the fags. Stay away from beta carotene supplements, increases LC risk.
