I smoke but my girlfriend looks affected by that, she gets sad and starts saying that I'll die and all that. Plus, she hates the smell and that we have to spend some cash on tobacco. 

Should I stop doing something I like (smoking) just to make my girlfriend happy?

This goes for other stuff aswell:

  • Drinking
  • Using drugs
  • Gaming
  • Any addiction actually

Depends, is she willing to give stuff up for you ? Also don't quit because you'll die, you're going to de anyway. The other 2 are valid concerns.

Yes, she gave up on the use of marijuana for me. It was one of the main things that we discussed when we started dating one year ago.

You should never have to give up something you like for a partner. Granted, there are health concerns with smoking, excessive drinking and the (improper) use of drugs (and some drugs in general) and she is obviously looking out for you because she cares about your well-being and wants you to still be around for a while. That said, if she cannot love you for who you are, even with all your flaws and "addictions" as you call them, and you have made some compromises for her benefit (not smoking around her directly, drinking less, etc) then I think it's about time you sit her down and discuss a breakup. There is no point in staying with someone who wants you to be someone else.

She's worried about you, but I think the main reason to stop is shortening your lifespan and the fact that you're burning your lungs, lol.
