Should he smoke cigarettes or weed?

Question

So, my boyfriend likes smoking weed. This gets me worried, and I hate to see him high and acting weird. He really likes smoking it though, I don't want to really deprive him of something he enjoys, but weed has consequences and it only complicates things for the fact that it's illegal. So, I asked him if he could lay off it (meaning he smokes just once in a couple of days). He likes the idea because he doesn't want to do it very often either because he can tell it's affecting him too. The only problem is that he is having trouble adjusting so he turns to cigarettes as a replacement. I heard somewhere that cigarettes are in fact worse than weed... and now I'm worried he is smoking too much (4 cigs maybe a day). So I need help, should i let him just keep smoking weed occasionally and let him adjust with cigarettes? Any other options?

Answer 1

i really think he shouldn't be smoking anything, its really bad for you and most of my family died from smoking. but to make him stop smoking talk to him. and try to find something that will get his mind off of smoking, of find something to replace the habit of smoking. good luck  

Answer 2

Dump him. He shouldn't be doing either. If you really don't want to dump him, help him quit. Smoking slowly kills you. One pack takes about 3 and a half hours off your life.

Answer 3

BOTH!

Answer 4

Therapy.

Answer 5

just stop smoking both!!!!me and many friends we grew outta weed!!!!and ciggarettes are very hard to quite!!!!it took me many years to finally quite!!!!!so i'd say just stop both!!

Answer 6

um Weed is about as dangerous as a small cigar/maybe. Cigarettes are so incredibly addictive if he gets started now he'll die of lung cancer in forty years. Don't smoke either, but if he HAS to pick just smoke pot. All thatll do is make him eat a whole cake and fall asleep.

Answer 7

yeah smoking weed is way safer what i would recommend is maybe tell him to find another habit and smoke every other day or something maybe like chew gum orr  do something that occupies him instead of wanting tog et high  

Answer 8

smoking is really bad but if he want to smoke an you cant stop him at least u should try an make him do regular cigarettes because weed is really bad for u an it can lead to other things...GOOD LUCK

Answer 9

Starting smoking cigarettes is ALWAYS a bad idea.

Tell him to chew gum, instead.

Answer 10

Simply put:

Tobacco deaths are high.

No-one has ever died from cannabis.

Answer 11

weed is far better than cigs...i dont care what anyone says! besides...im sure it wont be long and it will be legalized. then would you have a change of heart? ppl think just cuz its illegal its a terrible thing...its safer than alcohol as well. the only problem with weed is its pricey (and yes still illegal)..  

Answer 12

thats like being in a pool full of p**s and someone holding a bucket of **** over your head. do you dunk yourself in the p**s or let yourself be covered in ****? there both bad and he should be doing none of the them

Answer 13

i wouldnt let him do neither.

its bad for his health and yours. If you really love this guy you wouldnt let him do things that will kill him.

both smoking regular cigs and weed will eventually kill him.

the best way to help him is to quit his addiction, buy him nicatine packs to help him quit.

he might seem upset when you first suggest this to him, but in the long run... you saved a life.

Answer 14

Get him off the cigs.  Let him smoke weed, it's much better for your body and you cannot die from it.  With cigarettes, you can.

Answer 15

Cigarettes are definitely worse than weed.

Actually, weed is proven to decrease the size/probability of lung tumors.

Not to mention, weed isn't addictive (to people who have addictive personalities, it may be... but thats the persons fault, not the drug itself).

Answer 16

none of the both...

u should dish him he is going to be kissing u with all that ugly smell..

Answer 17

Weed is a lot better for your health than ciggarettes. It helps depression, anxiety, any sickness you have, it makes you not lazy, it cures tuberculosis, and if you smoked the herb you would understand why he likes it. Its fun to be high, and you have such a better mindset. Just tell him to be careful so he doesnt get ****** with the government.  Ciggarettes have chemicals that were used as poison gases in WW2. Let him smoke. At least hes not into other drugs that are really bad for you.  

Answer 18

Well, it sounds like you really care about him, and that's good.  So, with that in mind, help him explore it.  Talk with him without pushing an agenda.  What does he like about pot?  What does he like about cigarettes?  What does he not like?  Etc.  If you really care about him, you'd respect his freewill and trust that he'd make the right choice in his own time.  That doesn't mean that at some point you can't express your concerns, but do it in a compassionate way instead of a belligerent or aggressive way.

The other side of it is 4 cigarettes a day is nothing compared to some people's 4 packs a day.  If his life expectancy or his physical wellbeing are your concern, then read about Jeanne Calment on Wikipedia. She is proof that smoking doesn't necessarily kill.

But if he really wants to kick a habit, help to think about all the bad stuff around it.  That was how I kick cigarettes myself.  The finger stains, the yellow teeth.  All that.  Good luck.

Answer 19

weed i heard was 7 times cancerous then ciggarettes and no he should just try to give up on both because they are pretty dangerous they both cause cancer maybe more then the other but they are just as dangerous  

Answer 20

DUMP HIM!!! Or hypnosis!!! There's hypnosis for smoking!! I'm not sure it works though.  

Answer 21

Cigarettes are worse. Because they have so many different chemicals in it. Not saying Weed is any better. Ask him how he got into smoking weed? Do you really want that as well? If you're uneasy with it, sit him down and talk to him.

Answer 22

tie him up in the closet, and feed him as much as he needs. no drugs.

AT ALL!

seriously, tell him that if those drugs dont kill him, then someone will for the smell of it.

Answer 23

Dump him.

Answer 24

wow, sounds like he has a peoblem. i would try to get help for him. try looking upa hotline or something...

Answer 25

f**s are bad for you and soon he will wanna smoke more than 4 a day and the health consequences will be bad he's probably addicted from smoking weed with tobacco. If he want's to smoke the weed why not just once a a week with no tobacco and just give up the f**s because otherwise he's gonna end up on 20 a day and probably back on the weed all the time!

hope this helps

Answer 26

Tell that druggy smoked filed piece of c**p you will dump him if he doesnt stop both.

Answer 27

He should stop both especially the dope

Answer 28

he sucks

Answer 29

SMOKING WEED IS ILLEGAL????????? WHAT?   It's LEGAL HERE!

Answer 30

weed and cigs are both bad. they both contain high amounts of tar and do a great deal of damage on your organs and weed especially does damage to organs AND your mind. Did you know that 40% of mental patients are in the mental hospitals because of marijuana? marijuana can mess up your mind and make you have psychosis or schizophrenia, cigarettes can give you cancer of the lung, heart, brain tumors, etc,..

he should try to live his life without smoking anything. i would quit the weed totally, and go to the store and get these things called "nic-out" they are little plastic filters you put on the end of cigarettes that take out the nicotine and tar, use those and gradually quit altogether.
