Bf snores like a lumberjack. Can this be caused by his weight and constant pot smoking?

Question by l: Bf snores like a lumberjack. Can this be caused by his weight and constant pot smoking?
My current boyfriend smokes pot at least 15 per week. He snores soooo LOUD at night and we have now resorted to sleeping in different rooms of our apartment. He is overweight and doesn't eat very healhy. I really want him to either eat better and exercise or go to the doctor and see if he possibly has sleep apnea. Can his excessive pot smoking be linked to the snoring?!?! This is starting to hinder our relationship and my sleep at night! Any help appreciated!

It could be related. Snoring can be caused by being overweight (this is the number one factor), undiagnosed allergies (this is the number 2 factor) or sleeping on our back. He should try losing just a little weight. It really helps. In the meantime, he should use a warm mist-humidifier at night. He should also use the tennis ball trick. You put a tennis ball in a sock and pin it to the back of the shirt he sleeps in. Then, if he rolls over on to his back at night, the ball will nudge him back on to his side. Whatever you can do to help him stop snoring, it's worth it. Snoring has been linked to a 67% increased risk of stroke.
