Any advice?

Question

Okay I’m 18 Weeks and I’m having a hella hard time quitting smoking. I’ve drastically cut back from before I was pregnant. I used to smoke 4 Packs a day and now I only smoke less than a Pack. Any advice? I don’t want my baby to be Unhealthy due to my inability to quit. I know moms that had no problems and their baby was completely healthy, but now I’m starting to worry.

Answer

A pack a day is still a lot to smoke while pregnant. I can’t say what will work for you (I did cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant and it’s been 2 years now) but I can say you won’t regret it! Good luck

Her to not quit cold turkey as it’s stressful to the baby

Answer

I quit smoking a while back, not a 4-pack a day smoker by any means! But a few here and there...
I read somewhere that cravings for cigarettes last only 3-5 minutes, so I just told myself if I could get through that then I’m good. Usually I would forget about it or not crave them anymore within the timespan. Also just don’t give yourself a chance to buy them. Do not go into gas stations, only go to pharmacies and grocery stores that do not sell them.
Put the money you’d be spending on them in a separate bank account to watch it grow or treat yourself to something every day if you have to with that money. At 4 packs a day you’re spending a minimum of like $20/day. You could go for a full-on blown out spa day every week!
You just also have to stop thinking of yourself as a smoker. Most of smoking addiction is mental. Like if you always have a cigarette in the car, eat twizzlers instead...or if you always have one after coffee, chew a piece of gum. Once you address those parts of it, the physical part is easier.

Answer

First of all I've never met or known someone that smoked 4 packs a day...how can you afford that first of all, second when do you breath real air? I wit by giving myself a quit by date. I gave myself till the 1st of sept which at the the time was approximately 2 weeks away. during the 2 weeks I let myself smoke as much as I wanted but I also cut down knowing that my quit date was coming up. I didn't want the pressure of 1 smoke a day etc.. but told myself when the 1st came that I was done with smoki g. worked for me
