0:00 I am turning to everyone, truly, to each one, to the whole Jewish people, everyone who loves me, truly, and wants to do me some favor, stop smoking. Do not touch this. I care about you, I love you, I care about you, I love you, and I want you to take care of yourselves. And look, this already came from a note, that is why I am talking about it now. So please, let each one do what he can, to prevent from his friends, from his people, to stop with this thing of cigarettes.
0:27 Because it is an industry that rolls in a great deal of money and there is nothing in it. They put into people, supposedly, that it is something addictive, calming, it does not calm, it is not addictive, after you see the results of the tests, it does not calm. after a person sees the tests and his medical condition, he is really not calm, and nothing will help him, it does not calm. So therefore, thank G-d, as long as a person feels a little well, and has a little cough...
0:53 You go, clean the lungs, breathe in through the nose, out through the mouth, work on it, one needs to breathe a little air by the sea, at night a little when all the salt spray comes out, yes, it is like hisbodedus, a little prayer at night, there is the salt spray, it is released the most, strongly, and there is no sun and it is not hot, so the salt spray comes, to sit a little and breathe the air a little, to be cleansed, to speak with Hashem, and one who smokes, who now, say, was smoking one pack a day, let him go down to half a pack a day.
1:23 Let him go down to a pack a week, and then reach a state where he has a pack a month. until he says to himself, that's it. Like a person who wants to get up at chatzos, he will not get up at chatzos, ever, do you know why? He wants to get up from chatzos until sunrise. One does not do it like that. First of all there is, to get up at chatzos, to be awake for half an hour, I still have strength, but no, go rest. Rest, get up an hour before sunrise, learn. to be awake all night.
1:49 Do not be awake all night. Learn every day at night, two hours, but two hours. Learn two hours, you had real strength and you do not manage to fall asleep. In another two, three weeks, add another hour. Another month, another hour. No, be a month with a certain time, so the body gets used to it. One who wants to stop something not good, say to himself, it is not good? I am not doing it, there is no negotiation with what is not good. Look, once, a person standing on a roof, says, I am jumping - no, I'm not jumping... I have confusions, I don't know, it tells me to jump, I will not jump now... I will wait with this... I don't know what to do, I can't without jumping... what is down there, you know...
2:27 It is not a test, one does not touch it. Say to yourself, we do not touch it, whatever happens. So I ask everyone very much to stop, whoever smokes.
