They were both awful, and quitting weed isn't really a day at the park either. For me, alcohol was the worst, cigs second, and weed a distant third. I don't know why but watching my friends kill themselves with cigs is the hardest on me right now. It seems like such a stupid habit to maintain with the health concerns of course but now also being a social pariah and the heinous expense. Where I live, a pack of smokes costs about the same as an hour of minimum wage so poor folks work the first hour of the day to kill themselves. I just want to shake them by the collar and scream WTF are you doing? Knock it off! There is no good excuse to keep doing this to yourself! People love you!
On top of all this, after years of being a cool guy 2 pack a day smoker (age 17-29) I am now not only a bitchy anti smoker, I am fully allergic to second hand smoke. It makes me sick.
