Going to a party Saturday. From then on I'm not going to smoke(tabacco).
Don't do this. If you're going to do something as challenging as quitting smoking it can't be "from then on" and "after this one time". When you decide you're going to quit, you stop then and there, no excuses, no half way theres, nothing. If you want to quit do it now and go cold turkey.
Agree.

You still get carcinogens from weed (I say that loosely, because some studies have disagreed) but with the lack of thousands of harmful chemicals I would say it's better.

I need to quit smoking too Spence.I agree that saying things like "after this time" doesn't help you to quit. Cold turkey is the best way. I've quit cigarettes once doing it, and it's not too hard. Just focus on your goal and constantly remind yourself why you're quitting, even if that means putting a sticky note face level on both sides your bedroom door. You can do it bro.

I myself plan on getting a vape pen. I want to keep the nicotine and use herbal oils to help myself get healthier.

BTW: Lighting one up for ya Muggs. ;)

If you are inhaling smoke / burnt things there will be carcinogens. However, there are many ways to ingest marijuana without lighting anything on fire. You can cook with it, you can vape it, and you could also take the new thc pills.

Thnx guys. I was going to try vaping, but it kinda looks like that's bad for you as well..

It still may not be a healthy habit, but it's certainly safer than smoking cigarettes, especially if you mix your own juice.  If you make your own or buy from reliable places, you'll know that all that goes in to it are the glycerin, flavor and nicotine.  If you still need the nicotine, it's a much safer way to inhale it, plus there's the added benefit of being able to reduce the amount of Nic over time until you don't need it anymore.  I know several people who have switched to vaping and now don't require nicotine at all.  It's totally worth looking into if you don't feel like you can go cold turkey (or if you try that and it doesn't work out).

Vaping has been showing up more dangerous than cigs due to the glycerin burning at too high of a temperature so that it becomes carcinogenic. Like really bad. Most people have the atomizer (heating element) adjusted for higher heat so they can blow bigger clouds of vape. This is gonna kill people.

Just gotta smoke a lot o weed, like you won the lottery

Well, yeah, anything done dangerously is dangerous.  Just keep your temperature to what you need and you'll be fine.

It was hard for me. I went from 2 packs a day to cold turkey quit. I haven't fallen off the wagon, and it has been about 4.5 years. The cravings and desire haven't gone away.
Good for you for not giving in. Keep at it.

This sounds a little harsh, but you can't be weak, have the mental and physical toughness. It all comes down to that, it's really up to how hard you want it.🚬❌
