help me to stop smoking! stop smoking medications, stop smoking help, stop smoking plans and more
Most of the questions involving canabis smoking on here seem to have support from the answers. However, if someone mentions cigarette smoking its a completely different story!
Please note that I am not against either, I just wondered why people can be more accepting to something that is illegal to the equivalent that IS legal.

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
Because people are misinformed, it is a complete MYTH that cannabis is not as harmful as smoking. The British Lung Foundation believe smoking one cannabis joint has the same damaging effect on the lungs as five cigarettes. You’re also at higher risk of lung cancer and emphysema if you smoke cannabis and other lung problems linked to the drug.
Increasing evidence shows the use of cannabis can have detrimental effects mentally, it can cause anxiety, paranoia,psychosis and Schizophrenia in some people.It is psychologically addictive in around 10% of users.
I see time and time again people trying to justify it’s use, it doesn’t matter how much you want to believe in something, it won’t make it happen! Cannabis will ALWAYS be bad for you, both physically and mentally.
In the 1960s and 70s, the type of ‘hippie cannabis’ doing the rounds contained less THC content. It is now stronger and more potent and has a much more psychotropic effect. Studies have shown, a quarter of the population have a genetic disposition that makes them more susceptible to ‘cannabis psychosis. ‘
A 2007 study also found that whilst one’s use of cannabis increased their risk of mental illness by around 2%, approximately 14% of the UK’s Schizophrenia cases were directly related to cannabis consumption. Shorter-term effects include; memory loss, paranoia, loss of motor skills and a reduced reaction time are all temporary effects. Frequent use of cannabis can cut a man’s sperm count and suppress ovulation in women.
I await the usual thumbs down from the pro- cannabis brigade
not everyone is for cannabis. i have seen what it does to young people, the terrible paranoia it causes, among many other things. cigarette smoking kills, so why anyone would willingly smoke those, is beyond me. such a waste, of life, of money….such a dreadful waste.
well you can get herbal cannabis so it wont have all the chemicals ciggies have
well neither are good for you.
cannabis smoking is less damaging to you, although long term abuse can cause increased risk of psychotic illnesses.
So thats why some people may be more against cigarettes than cannabis because cigarettes can cause a whole number of life threatening things e.g lung cancer, CHD etc.
No, no not all….I too do not support Cannabis smoking. Haven’t tried one. Lost a cousin to ‘grass’ as it is called in India. As a high schooler he did one too much and the short term memory loss was so great, he lost grades…..did not complete highschooling…..paranoia and other delusions followed. Medical and psychiatric help is only to a certain extent. Ended up as an alcoholic and died in 2003…..so much for the pleasures of Cannabis. Hope the history does not get repeated else where.
