For relatives i can see it being a big thing, my relatives never knew i was a pothead that messed around with other things too.
On a personal level i just say like Nike " just do it" and stop.
The commercials for stop smoke patches / inhalers and what not PO me so much, ATM one is running saying only 4% of people wanting to quit smoking do so on shear will.
Thats pretty weak in my mind, and just affirm my thoughts about other people being weak ass pussies.
I just promised myself " this is the last cigarette" and " this is the last joint" ASO, works fine for me cuz i will go thru hell and high water to keep a promise.
Sure it wasent fun in the first days, but anything worth fighting over are rarely fun.
