I’m 6-7 weeks pregnant and trying to quit smoking! Advice?

Question

Since finding out I was pregnant I’ve cut down a lot smoking, I use to have around 5-10 a day and now only have 1-2 not even everyday but the last two days I’ve been craving cigarettes so bad.
Does anyone have any tips or advice that helped them quit completely?

Answer

I found that the best deterrent for me was telling people I was pregnant. I couldn't deal with the judgement. I also threw away my remaining cigarettes which was heartbreaking but felt like it marked the beginning of the end. I smoked 1-2 cigarettes from 8 to 11 weeks and stopped once I'd seen my baby on an ultrasound.

Answer

I finished out my pack, but only smoked a couple drags of each one and then tossed it (generally after work) after that I just didnt buy more. Ive been smoking for about 10 years, and havent had one in 8 weeks and its hell. I literally dream about smoking, crave one every time I smell it, and cried when my friend Snapchatted me last week while she was smoking. BUT I will absolutely not touch another one until at least the baby is born, hopefully ever. Being a long term smoker is incredibly addicting, and for most people it never truly goes away. You just have to remember you're doing this for baby, and any sacrifice you have to make, no matter how hard, if worth it in the end.

Answer

Think of your little ones tiny tiny lungs forming, that’s what I did and haven’t touched one since, makes me feel ill now thinking that I could harm my little one ❤️

Answer

I quit cold turkey. The only reason was they started tasting bad and that’s when I tested. Found out at 4weeks because the cigs became horrid and that was the only explanation. It smelled horrible for months. The smell only gets worse and makes me feel sick. It’s weird...idk why

Answer

I am in the same boat. I am trying so hard to quit!

Answer

I smoked around 15/20 fags a day for 9 years, as soon as I found out I was pregnant I didn't have another fag. I went cold turkey after all those years and smoking that amount! the temptation doesn't last long, it's mind over matter. once you pass the craving stage you're fine, it's your thoughts that's making it worse, it's more habit as well. the more you feed your body something  the more your body will crave and  demand it. I didn't really crave a fag as the thought of it harming my baby disgusted me as I think it's selfish. plus the smell of it makes me sick now. the thought of quitting is actually much harder than actually quitting! you've done well to say you've cut down, some people can just  quit  others have to cut down slowly. maybe read on what smoking is doing to your baby, it might help. good luck x

Answer

I was in the same boat I’m 5 weeks and 3 days but last week I woke up and didn’t even want one and if I smell it on my husband I gag. Try using peppermint oil, chewing sugar free gum, sugar free candy ,peppermints also helped w the cravings. Good luck!!!

Answer

I quit cold turkey. I had tried before to just cut back and then quit but it didn’t work
