Everyone knows it’s bad for you, but some people still do it. So, let’s talk about quitting.
It’s an awkward conversation. How do you tell your friends not to do something that is hurting themselves? They’ve probably heard it before, many times.
So why are they still doing it?
Dr. (yes, Doctor!) James Hamblin and a special guest have an uncomfortable conversation that may sound very familiar…how to approach someone about quitting smoking.
The video includes bits of trivia (dazzle them with your logic), advice (hint: it doesn’t look as cool as you think), and a genuine effort to help you inform people about why they need to give up their cigarettes (make it about you. sort of.).
I have to tell you, when I smoked – if one of my friends approached me about it – I would’ve told them to fuck off. Then again, I was never an urban hipster and pretty much every single person in my life smoked so that probably wouldn’t have happened anyway. These sound like rich-people conversations.
