Quitting is easy. Not going back to it is the hard part

Just means you need to start smoking good weed. Less quantity -> better lungs.

Anyway, I've decided to quit smoking again. I had a break where I didn’t smoke for 3 weeks or so during Christmas when I stayed at my parents’ house so I know I can do it. But for some reason when I got back to my old environment I picked up the habit the first thing I did. Because of this I’m fairly confident I can quit since I know a lot of it is just a habit bound to certain routines. Despite of being aware of this I’ve, unsuccessfully, tried to stop smoking several time and I just can't seem to find the willpower to do it again.

*snip*


This is a common psychological response. After some period of smoke-free existence at a novel environment you no longer experience withdrawal symptoms or feel a craving to smoke. However, when you return to your own home, you are once again surrounded by many cues that are associated with smoking. These cues elicit compensatory drug reactions which feel like withdrawal symptoms and elicit a strongly felt need for nicotine.

To combat this urge to return, many drug treatment programs attempt to extinguish the effects of conditioning by repeatedly presenting addicts with stimuli associated with drug intake without the drug itself.

Your best hope to eliminate smoking all together(while unrealistic) would be to move out of your current environment. Examples of this lie in some Vietnam War veterans getting addicted to heroin in Vietnam, and upon returning home the majority overcame their addicting and stopped all together.

Good luck on quitting!

Good luck with quitting guys I don't smoke because my father did since he was 13. Not only did he stink of smoke, but after he'd gone to the bathroom it smelled so bad in there (of smoke once more.) that we couldn't go inside ourselves for at least half an hour afterwards.

Protip: Most non-smoking girls don't like guys whose poop smells of smoke

I hate hypocrites who try to stop smoking with the help of others. If you really want to do it don't be so half-assed with your attitude because you'll start again.

If you are a smoker, stand up for yourself instead of being all like... 'oh maybe I should quit... I don't want cancer uuuuu~' whenever someone confronts you with your habits.

The smoke is a lot healthier. No nicotine, no radiation, no random poison additives, etc.
No cancer either, that's an important one.

weed smokers get out...you are hurting these people trying to stop. fuck off.
========================================================
combusting anything and inhaling it is obviously bad for you. and yes weed does cause memory loss, lowers libido, and fucks with your psychological state. i consider myself a strong-minded individual and it didn't show on the outside but you definitely feel it. it definitely causes a shift in hormones. you can smoke just don't take away from these individuals attempting to quit CIGARETTES by suggesting weed or saying how amazing it is. you all are indirectly or directly assholes.

nicotine isn't fair in so many ways. it's physically addictive so quickly on and usually when people start they aren't fully matured mentally to know why it is bad. yeah most get lucky and don't start but most are never truly explained the bad effects at that age. "IT'S BAD FOR YOUUUU" but intelligent young people ask why and dumbass cops or teachers really dont know why and just say "IT HAZ BAD STUFFZ IN IT" and "IT'S ADDICTIVE" but again curious young individuals know that a lot of things are addictive and they dont know how powerfully addictive it is. i wish all adults would just explain and talk and say "it contains a molecules that create a heavyyyy physical addiction just after a few times... you'll waste a ton of money, develop an unattractive & harsh voice, significantly increase your risk of cancer, probably not live as long and all these things will lead to a worse life. you will get high for a short period of time in the beginning, but after the first few times you will not get a (significant-but it would not be wise to say this word just saying it so you idiots dont call me out on it) buzz so even for the pleasure it's pointless.

i hope you guys can quit it. i know it must be hard. there are many ways about doing it but the easiest way is with others. change your lifestyle drastically and DO NOT party or go into situations where others smoke regularly. you may need to change your routes to class or work. you may need to tell your friends to go outside (in the cold) to smoke. just dont give up.

you may not be able to go cold turkey. you may have to ween yourself off but keep a strict log or something tangible. write something down. but do it every single time you smoke. no tallys. 1 2 3 4 5 6. take a cigarette off a day. or one off every other day. whatever you need to do. nicorette wont help. it is nicotine without the combustion. the weening and routine associated with it is what does it.

Guess you have yet to experience the fact that people ARE different. Not all of us are egomaniacs that think we know everything by ourselves so we rely on eachother for support. I suggest you stop telling people how they function because surely they know that better themselves. Hypocrite.

If youre convinced that you dont wanna stop smoking (I take it you do) I fully repect that but at least respect my/our decision to stop smoking. Of course, I dont want cancer but its only a part of the reason why I want to stop. I would say that I simply do this because it does me way more bad than good. I'd love to be able to run further, study without having a cigg and lose motviation, not having to worry about the disgusting smell everytime I meet people etc. These are things I trade away to soothe a need I shouldn't even have in the first place. I've come to the conclusion that it's a pretty bad deal.

Edit: I havn't had a cigarette since yesterday around 18.00 and counting!

No it doesn't. I don't appreciate lying.

Short term memory loss when being high, yes. But there is no evidence it permanently destroys your ability to retain information.

About libido, nope. I get hornier than hell when high, so do multiple friends of mine.

Yeah, sure fucks up your psychological state alright, I went from suicidal depression to having a great life. God, marijuana is so terrible I wish I was poor, unhappy, and friendless again.

"weed smokers get out...you are hurting these people trying to stop. fuck off."

I disagree, smoking marijuana is far healthier, and makes sense (it actually does something.) Plus, you can vaporize marijuana reducing the combustion by 98 - 99%.

I wish all these people can quit, my father person is currently trying to quit, and my mother quit by smoking pot. So, um... yeah.

wrong, the cancer is still there.
jsut the act of putting smoke in your lungs increase chances dramatically. although its less the cigs, weed is still a carcinogenic.

I can only speak for myself but I wanna QUIT smoking, not replace it with something else. I don't see how I would be able to continue my life smoking pot 14 times a day for that matter either if I were to replace it.. ^^

Have you ever been a smoker?

Well then you probably wouldn't understand why people who are smokers stay smokers. Don't be so judgmental when you don't have reasonable grounds to judge. It's particularly funny that you pose your argument as the product of rationality when your experience regarding the subject is so limited in the most instrumental of regards.

EDIT: @ OP: Good luck. I would suggest you try not to drink if smoking while drinking is a problem, at least for a little while. You should also certainly tell your friends not to give you smokes. If you have to buy them and can't get them during the social encounters where smoking is rampant you will find yourself much more accountable for your actions.


lol. i definitely have reasonable grounds to judge. common sense is common sense. QQ pal. it doesn't justify your retarded addiction. if you were dumb enough to 'try it,' that's more than enough to judge your fortitude/intelligence. my first two points in my original post are just as valid, having never smoked. the third was merely personal commentary, and wasn't some concrete claim or judgement.
