  My name is Red, and I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. By way of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Go Quakers. I have a conundrum, and I was hoping you could help me with it. So, I have been a smoker since I was 19, and now I'm 33. And like a pack-a-day habit. I'm pretty secretive about it. Most people that are close to me know, but other than that, I try to keep it for myself. That doesn't matter. I was diagnosed with cancer three years ago. Had breast cancer, triple negative, the gnarly one. Lost all my hair.

• 1:45Speaker 03

  Double mastectomy, multiple reconstructive surgeries, the whole nine. And I'm just now starting to get back to feeling like myself. And yes, I get smoke altered cancer.

• 1:56Stavros Halkias?

  Damn, respect.

• 1:57Speaker 03

  Obviously, a lot less. Well, now I'm feeling good.

• 2:01Stavros Halkias?

  Honestly, I tip my cap to you for that one. That is crazy. That's fucking nuts, Red. You're a bad bitch, and congrats on making it through. Sorry you went through that.

• 2:10Speaker 03

  I get smoke altered cancer. Um, obviously a lot less. Well, now I'm feeling good. I've healed. I'm considered cancer free. My smoking has gotten, um, you know, back to that pack a day habit again. I'm like desperate to quit now. Um, I know that you, or I don't know that you to be a smoker, but is this something that you've dealt with, or maybe Eldis, or one of your guests? Like, I have the drive, I have the desire, but I think that addiction is just so strong that like I, I can't even pull away from it, um, even though I really, really want to. Um, I've tried the patches, the gum. I don't think vape, vaping is a good alternative.

• 2:51Speaker 03

  So I'm not doing that. I quit cold turkey for about five months earlier this year. Um, but of course got roped back in, as you do. So I'm serious about making it happen. I would just love some maybe out of, outside of the box, uh, tips and tricks and figure you dumb asses can

• 3:09Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 3:10Speaker 03

  probably give me some really shitty advice, but maybe it'll help.

• 3:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:13Speaker 03

  Uh, I love what you guys do. I love the pod. Keep it up. Can't wait to hopefully see you all live on stage one day. Uh, have a good one. Bye.

• 3:22Speaker 05

  Thank you. Yeah.

• 3:23Stavros Halkias?

  Yep, yep, yep. Dreamboat tour. Tickets out now. Tickets out now. Um, that's why I really, it's gotta, imagine being like a fucking nurse helping this woman through chemo.

• 3:35Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:36Stavros Halkias?

  Then you just see her like hobbling outside and be like, doing this.

• 3:41Speaker 05

  You're like, alright, what's up?

• 3:42Stavros Halkias?

  Well, to be fair. Yeah, go ahead.

• 3:45Speaker 05

  She did get breast cancer, which is not exactly known as a smoke. I don't know what kind of frat party trick she's doing with the cigarette. But it's not usually the one you get from smoking.

• 3:55Stavros Halkias?

  Okay, it's usually lungs?

• 3:56Speaker 05

  So I'm approaching saying something I don't, nobody wants me to say right now.

• 3:59Stavros Halkias?

  Which is what? Which is just, who cares?

• 4:03Speaker 05

  I mean, really, I you, you know.

• 4:08Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, it is. It is sort of like you did it once.

• 4:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 4:13Stavros Halkias?

  If you smoke through cancer, I mean, that's kind of like a, you're gonna stop now. That was the time to stop. It was probably, it probably hurt to smoke and you fucking still power through and now you're feeling good and you're gonna stop.

• 4:31Speaker 06

  Have you ever been a smoker?

• 4:33Stavros Halkias?

  Not really. I mean, uh, like a little bit in college, the classic, you know, buy a pack and it lasts you like a couple of weeks. Yeah. Type of thing, nothing crazy, you know, smoking at parties.

• 4:42Speaker 05

  He started smoking when he was like 12 years old. How did you quit?

• 4:46Speaker 06

  Um, my girlfriend didn't like it.

• 4:49Stavros Halkias?

  Wow.

• 4:50Speaker 06

  So good pussy makes you.

• 4:51Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 4:53Speaker 06

  Good pussy makes you quit smoking, so.

• 4:56Stavros Halkias?

  Good pussy have you laid up, not smoking?

• 4:58Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 5:00Speaker 05

  I would say, well, I quit smoking a couple of years ago and I did the full, like, what your dad does to you type of thing. When he catches you with a cigarette.

• 5:09Stavros Halkias?

  Oh, really?

• 5:09Speaker 05

  Where just one time I, I didn't smoke, I smoked Marlboro Lights and one time I bought a pack of Reds and I smoked like four of them on my roof and I passed out.

• 5:17Speaker 06

  And. Dude, that shit's no joke.

• 5:20Speaker 05

  I don't think I like this.

• 5:20Speaker 06

  The nicotine poisoning?

• 5:22Speaker 05

  Yeah, it makes you feel pretty.

• 5:23Speaker 06

  On my, on my 18th birthday, I went to Hampton Beach and I like, got too high and then I ended up smoking a whole pack by accident. Cause I was like, the cigarettes will counteract the weed.

• 5:34Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, smart, smart math.

• 5:36Speaker 06

  And I smoked the whole, my first legal pack of Camel Blues and then, uh, I like, was on the beach and I just like walked away. And like, everyone says it looked like I got shot by a sniper and I just like fell down, dug a hole and just like threw up in front of like, a family watching fireworks.

• 5:53Speaker 05

  You dug a hole for your.

• 5:55Speaker 06

  Yeah, for my puke. You had to do it, yeah.

• 5:58Speaker 05

  Polite.

• 5:58Stavros Halkias?

  That is very polite, that's really nice.

• 6:00Speaker 06

  But yeah, I mean, maybe just smoke a bunch of it until you puke.

• 6:05Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm.

• 6:06Speaker 06

  Like at the beach or something.

• 6:08Speaker 05

  But you kept smoking for years after that.

• 6:10Speaker 06

  Yeah, I kept smoking for years after that.

• 6:13Stavros Halkias?

  Now, okay, when your girlfriend made you quit?

• 6:15Speaker 06

  She didn't make me quit, she just said, I don't like it, and I was like.

• 6:18Stavros Halkias?

  But what steps did you take? You just stopped?

• 6:20Speaker 06

  Uh, yeah, I stopped, and then, I think zin also.

• 6:24Speaker 05

  Yeah, if you don't like the patches of the gum, there's other shit that's.

• 6:28Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 6:28Speaker 06

  So I was, I was not smoking for like, two years, and then he started bringing zins to parties, and I was like, well, she won't see this.

• 6:42Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I can't do zins, I, I'm so scared, I will get so addicted to them.

• 6:45Speaker 06

  Oh, yeah, you do, immediately.

• 6:46Speaker 05

  It's awesome.

• 6:47Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, I'm sure they're awesome, but I can't do it right now, man, I, I don't need another thing. I mean, everyone I talked to, I have so many friends that have quit smoking with that book, the Alan Carr book.

• 6:57Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah.

• 6:58Stavros Halkias?

  You know?

• 6:59Speaker 05

  What is it called again? It's fuck you if you.

• 7:01Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah, if you're, you're a bitch.

• 7:03Speaker 05

  It literally is like, learn to hate yourself or smoking or some shit.

• 7:06Stavros Halkias?

  The easy way to stop smoking.

• 7:11Speaker 06

  I think this was adapted into a Nintendo DS game. There's like genuine, there is a stop smoking game for the DS. So if you have a Nintendo DS.

• 7:21Speaker 05

  I'm on my way to go.

• 7:22Speaker 06

  Yeah, there you go, you can, you can try that out.

• 7:24Stavros Halkias?

  Yeah.

• 7:26Stavros Halkias?

  I think, yeah, hit up the fucking thing, I mean, the, the only, the advice I can give, cause like, I'm sober for, I've been sober this year.

• 7:35Stavros Halkias?

  I'm, I turned thirty-five this year, and I was like, let me do a, a full year of some vice, just, just to do it. And I, the general advice I would say is like, it is an undertaking. Like, give yourself, like, give yourself two months where you're like, my job these two months, like, all my free time, all, like, think of it as like, almost working a part-time job, where you're like, I am staying sober, whether that means like, you know, like, for me, the first like, three weeks I stopped smoking weed, my sleep was so fucking bad. Like, just couldn't, it was so easy, just getting so high, I would pass out, that I just like, had to really try and tucker myself out by like, taking long ass, over exercising, like,

• 8:19Stavros Halkias?

  be, doing shit for my sleep that was like, annoying, like, you know, going to a sauna, like, trying to time this shit, like, just, my whole, my whole life revolved around like, making all the. counteracting all the negative effects of being sober um and that fucking sucked but it was like alright it it I worked really hard for those like three weeks and I was able to kinda stick with it and then I really it's only affected me in times of real stress

• 8:47Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm

• 8:47Stavros Halkias?

  the last couple of weeks I've really wanted to get fucked up but I've just been like let's fu- we we're close it's been like nine months and I just need to do three more and then I've proven to myself I can do it and then I'm getting fucked up

• 8:59Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah

• 9:00Stavros Halkias?

  but but in general I would say yeah give yourself a fucking give yourself time to do this understand it's gonna be fucking hard and yeah try the fucking book

• 9:09Speaker 05

  Mm-hmm

• 9:10Stavros Halkias?

  you know try and

• 9:12Speaker 05

  isn't there a pill people take to do this?

• 9:14Speaker 06

  Chantix?

• 9:15Speaker 05

  is that the one?

• 9:16Speaker 06

  Chantix, that's that's what um Ray Liotta was the spokesman for Chantix

• 9:20Speaker 05

  Ray Liotta?

• 9:21Stavros Halkias?

  may he rest in peace

• 9:22Speaker 06

  yeah well I mean he died but you know

• 9:24Stavros Halkias?

  he died from Chantix

• 9:25Speaker 06

  yeah from well uh just try quitting somewhere else I guess

• 9:30Stavros Halkias?

  yeah yeah yeah no no he didn't die from Chantix he died from a bunch Ray Ray had his demons

• 9:35Speaker 05

  he did now

• 9:36Stavros Halkias?

  but if he was only on Chantix sooner he'd be alive but uh respect I mean it's crazy how much you powered through

• 9:43Speaker 06

  yeah

• 9:43Stavros Halkias?
