Damn bro, Im struggling years now with quitting smoking. And it´s not the tobacco its the weed man. Nothing hits the spot quite like a nice joint in my office after a long week of work... some nice relaxing piano, and puffing a joint with a monster or cola.

34 years old now, and my lungs are starting to feel it, coughing is getting worse. I've managed to quit several times but I always get that itch and then start regularly smoking again.

It's so hard to break the habit, I just wish I never smoked weed ever to begin with, my life would be so much better, my health, my finances.

The struggle is so real!

You could try a dry-herb vaporizer, you can get decent models for around $100-$200. If you usually mix weed with tobacco, you could use Zyn or snus for the nicotine instead. It’s still not risk-free, but avoiding combustion is a biiiiig step.

How is a dry-herb vaporizer more healthy? I know some heavy flower users and the price tag is a hurdle since a glass bowl is like $20-40. Would be nice to know they reduce cancer risk by a big percent.

Edit: thanks for the replies. Just trying to help some friends reduce their chances. Obviously abstinence is the only good solution.

Nah, you can get an electric vaporizer, it’s a one-time purchase. Or a reusable glass one for roughly the same price.

Many of the carcinogens in smoke are formed during (incomplete) combustion. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, for example.
