A person starts mentally incorporating various tasks in life with putting in a dip, lighting up, or downing a can of Mountain Dew.
The bottom line is, a person has to be ready to quit no matter what habit they are trying to break. If that's not the case, the probability of success is going to be limited at best.

Smoking weed is also a social habit. A person that smokes habitually is likey to have a social circle that does the same. When you quit smoking weed, you also have to realize that the people you hang with have to change. Just like drinking.
There is nobody that is going to quit hanging with you because you quit dipping. Another example is smoking cigs. If you are a smoker and you are going to stay the week with someone who doesn't let you smoke, it becomes an inconvenience. When I smoked, I would rather hang with other smokers, than those who didn't. I remember taking my own car places, for no other reason than I couldn't smoke in the other persons car.
When I smoked weed, it gave me a reason to get together with my other friends. Someone might come over to burn one and hang out. Once I quit so did the social interaction with those people. At least to some degree. I just couldn't hang out with others if they were smoking. It was too tough. To quit a social habit it tough. It's not just a decision to not smoke. It's a statement to those you have been smoking with.
