How to stop smoking?

The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is I smoke a spliff, whenever I get bored I smoke another one, and when I hang out with my friends we always roll some. I'm trying to stop smoking and only method that's ever worked for me was sleeping for the whole day.
Are there any methods you can recommend me to stop smoking ?

Well it is actually fairly easy, do not buy weed and stop hanging out with your stoner friends. Worked for me at least

The biggest problem is that all my friends are stoner friends and I sell weed for a living :/

Getting of drugs is relatively easy by doing other drugs instead. Just change it to another drugs every few days and stop altogether after a few weeks.

Great advice and it is exactly what I've done in the end. I replaced weed for coffee, passion flower tea and cigarettes. Now I'm three days clean and still counting (which is a lot for me)

It's fucking weed. If you don't have the self control to not smoke weed then you've already failed in compensating for your lack of being high. You don't have a weed problem, you have a getting high problem. The only way you're going to deal with the how and whys are if you just be sober and think about it.

Go to jail and get put on probation. Then you wont wanna smoke due to fear of violating probation and going back to jail.
Thats why i quit.
You sound like me back when i blazed daily for 8 years. But when i finally had a reason to quit it was so easy to stop. Find a reason to quit, a good one. Or take some kratom for a few days then stop doing that too.
Or just keep smoking.
Whatever.

Try and cut down the frequency of use to start of with, and then lower the amount you smoke per session, it worked for me anyways, now I'll probably smoke a few times a year at most.

Move away from your old friends. I moved country, not a huge move but i'm a flight away from my old life. Strangely enough it broke my weed, tobacco and gaming addiction overnight.
I was in such a shitty routine. I hated my job, lost my GF and spent literally every moment I wasn't in work getting high. Lived at home with the family but rarely spoke to them or anyone else really. People just knew me as and assumed I was a stoner. I had zero self control when it came to weed. Was smoking up to an ounce of good weed a week which just isn't affordable at local prices. Tolerance was through the roof and it was basically just my way of killing time. I'd had periods off weed but my brother, friend or dealer was always right there and the temptation always broke me eventually. Even taking a holiday was tricky cos I knew i'd get withdrawals.
Took a job offer in a different country, picked up and left within a month and everythings been so much better. I like my job, have my own place, plenty of spare cash now from not smoking so I take holidays. I can smell a neighbour smoking it in his garden every now n then and pretty sure there's a dealer on my street but i've no serious urge to go out and get friendly with them cos I know where i'll end up.

If I can give you one advice, it would be to never fuck with opioids, ever. With that story just because of weed, the addiction would destroy you.

Maybe it'd help to stop mixing your cannabis with tobacco for starters? Then wean yourself off the weed.

The frequency thing is a good idea. Try only smoking after work - like when you go through a whole day of not smoking/working and you're coming home to relax for the evening. You can push that one a little further by making yourself wait until after dinner. It'll be your first buzz of the day and your after dinner snack all around late evening time or whatever.
Never wake and bake. It will rob you of all the ambition you have for the day and make you lazy ass fuck. If you aren't the responsible type with a schedule... like if you sell drugs for a living and don't go to work... Just wait until night time before you smoke.
The idea is to make it easy for you to cut a significant amount of time each day where you don't smoke weed. After that becomes natural and normal for you, you can transition into not smoking at all... or like a weekends thing.

Op have you considered ummm not quiting? Why do you want to quit?
I know a lot of people who want to quit because they are attributing negative traits of theirs to marijuana. Like being lazy and unmotivated. Youre not lazy and unmotivated from smoking too much pot, youre lazy and unmotivated and it manifests itself in nonstop pot smoking.
Its a symptom not a cause. Of course thats not true for everyone. One of the worst things i ever did was quit mj because of the job hunt and because i thought i was supposed to.
Instead of smoking i moved to drinking which led me to cocaine and pills because after all they dont stay in your system long and hey i still need to unwind.

What you said is very true in my experience. Smoking weed is enjoyable because it seems to "down regulate" whatever normally keeps selfish and self gratifying behaviour at bay. IIRC marijuana is a dopemine drug. A lot of people can't manage dopamine drugs on a daily basis.
