A short YouTube video ("Trying to quit") in which Tommy Dobczyk delivers an emotional, first-person monologue about attempting to quit smoking. The speaker repeatedly describes intense cravings, frustration, and urges to buy a pack of cigarettes, sometimes using profanity; the talk is diaristic and inward-focused, describing immediate impulses (e.g., considering buying a pack, worrying about numbing the mouth with menthol).
