I used to smoke every day with my friends and boyfriend. Then we broke up and i realized how much i had changed and how little life i had. how much i needed to smoke. So i tried quitting so many times but its really hard to do when everywhere you go it surrounds you.
My best advice is to talk to them. Explain that if they were really your friends they would support you and help you. and that if they continue to do it you will cut them out. Set boundaries and consequence's and fallow through with it. You have to put yourself first and you'll make more friends.
Its hard to ignore people when you live with them but it is possible. It all depends on how serious you are about it.
Stay assertive no matter what. If they pressure you or make fun of you, don't let it look like it bothers you (this will make them think it's working) and just ignore it. Laugh it off and go do something else.
