Can smoking pot help you stop smoking cigarettes?

I find that if I can smoke a joint every couple days, it helps take the edge of not having cigs. I’m trying to quit with my dad because if he doesn’t quit he’s going to die.

So, basically I have the motivation to quit but my mood is so bad, and if I smoked weed in moderation, I think it would take the edge of everything.

I know exactly how you feel, I was in a very similar situation. I remember that I was so nervous at that time and I took it out on everyone around me. I didnt know what could I do until, thanks god, I found Smoke Deter. Now I can look back and laugh on myself and in the same time I remember how helpless I was. I hope that I'll never be in the same situation again

    It may, but pot has the same effect on your lungs as tobacco…maybe worse since you cough a lot. Kinda like saying "I’m gonna lay off the beer and just drink hard liquor".

    It will take the edge off when you’re craving nicotine, but that’s as far as the help goes. Otherwise smoking a joint just reinforces the habit of smoking, and once you get past the more difficult cravings you’ll realize that the next battle is to fight the habitual action of smoking.

    I don’t think pot is a good aid for quitting smoking. When I was quitting I found dip to be the most helpful thing–I realize it is its own habit, but I found that I could use it to fight the extreme bad mood cravings, and because it was so disgusting I did not want to use it for more than just that. And you don’t reinforce the smoking habit.

    Good luck.

    First of all congrats on trying to quit. i am quit since 2 weeks now and it feels great once you get over the peak craves. From then its a straight road downhill. And dont be a dopehead, its just your jumky mind which is asking you to smoke anything. I am sure u would smoke even dried cow piss if u didnt find anything else. being smokefree is so great that you wont ever go back to smoking again.

    i quit smoking cigs with the help of marijuana. whenever i needed a cig (outside of work), i’d just burn a hitter down and i was fine. i’ve been tobacco smoke free for over a year now.

    and Tex, cigarettes and marijuana are not both tobacco products. what would make you think that???

    Well, this is kind of a lose, lose proposition.

    Cigarettes contain nicotine and pot doesn’t, so in that sense pot would be a better choice.

    However, it has been proven that it is the tar in the cigs that causes cancer. Here is the rub……pot contains more tar per joint than an unfiltered cigarette.
    .
    I am a medical marijuana patient in California. The doctors here sell marijuana "vaporizers" that heat the pot to just below the point of burning to release the THC and none of the tar. They are available on the internet and can get a little pricey, but it does keep the tar out of your lungs, and that is what causes the cancer.
