smoking is not only unhealthy, it also stinks

After smoking green for about 8 years I gave up a year ago last month. Its made such a difference. Ive got more energy, Im not angry/stressed out/ or depressed all the time, and my work rate has rocketed. I still smoke fags though, I wish I didnt but I cutting down gradually. I klnow a lot of mates who stopped smoking fags but still smoke weed, the result is that they smoke more spliffs and bongs. This is for 2 reasons. 1st, the physical sensation of smoking something is addictive to a lot of people. 2nd, Tobacco is far more addictive than weed, you crave it a lot more, and as a result you smoke loads of spliff with tobacco in (weeds costs bucks in the UK) because you crave the nicotene, not the THC.
There is one sure fire method to quit smoking. But you have to need to stop. I'd tried to quit a few times but eventually I knew I had to because it was really fucking me up mentally and physically. All you have to do is stop for a week and you'll already start to feel better. Then smoke a massive bong and you'll realise just what it does to you. After that, trust me, you wont want to smoke weed ever again. Its been a year since I stopped and I honestly cant stand the stuff. I realised just how de-motivating it really is. I get depressed still because I see all of my mates vegitating and turning into layabouts with no motivation and its all because of smoking weed too much, that stuff makes you retarded. I remember that I started smoking because I loved the way I got all giddy and started laughing and giggleing for no reason, but that stage doesnt last long. After a while it just becomes routine. A ritual way of spanking a tonne of money every week. I got to the point of spending about £40 a day when I was in collage. I ended up with really bad digestion problems because I was eating properly as all my money was going on smoke.
Dont get me wrong on this, I know that there are good things about smoking weed. I think its true that people who have smoked are far more open minded, and sometimes it can lower your inhibitions and even help with creativity. But in the long run its does more damage than good. You become empty minded and dull, and to be honest, relying on a drug for crerativity is never a good idea.

True. Thats why I smoke very little - and that's like max twice/month, but usually even less. Right now it's 3 weeks ago or smth. The time before it was like 3/4 months I think ( can't really remember

Same as KoFFiE, except that I get stoned even less. Like 3 or 4 times a year. It's been since somewhere last summer...

well I've been smoking joints daily or mostly for about 13 years now
thing is it's perfectly manageable as long as you keep it peripheral and don't let it interfere with what is really important in your life
I smoke about 2/3 joints a day, but I keep them for the evenings, when I have nothing else to do but chill and let the day go by
I don't feel it even interferes with my daily life at work at all, I just keep the 2 separate
and I'm pretty good with my ciggy consumption, I used to smoke about 2 full packs of camels back in the days, and now about half a pack, including the 2/3 joints
and I don't even plan on stopping

I don't think there's any reason for being hard on yourself if it's only occasionally...

so true
never go the other way 'round when you want to deal with habits, it's the best way to screw yourself up. it's true with diets as well, never cut EVERYTHING you like, just try to implement the idea of moderating yourself
moderation is the way to transform an unhealthy habit into a nice treat

I only smoke when there's something going wrong with my circuits and they short circuit. Smoking is one of the most hazardous things to do for a robot!
