Lots of good points in the last couple posts, yours and mattyc, I have tried it and other things but it's been eons and I don't intend to do it for a while since I work in a industry with drug testing.
My kids have been open about some of those issues being reasons for smoking, but they refuse to try alternate things like counselling. They feel have found what they need.

Maybe you can make a compromise in the form of "okay I will never bother you about smoking if you agree to go to counselling once per week for an hour" and make sure to convey the counselling is not for weed, just a different way to examine yourself.
I'll say this. I'm a little different than rubecube as my dad was an athlete and so was I when younger and so I always considered smoking and drinking to be a hindrance on my body. I didn't drink until I was 17 and didn't smoke weed until 19. Now I smoke habitually. I know it's an issue and I'm grown enough to realize if I need help. I just shared a doobie with my dad for the first time at 28. He knew I smoked, we'd talked about it previously and as I've gotten older he has mellowed on it. And I knew that he indulged sometimes too. But there was still nothing as connecting for me as actually watching him haul on a joint in front of me. Honestly if you greened out in front of your kid it would probably be best thing for your relationship in regards to using it.
