I’ve been smoking for about two and a half years and I believe no matter how long you’ve done it it is hard to quit. I found out that I was pregnant 9weeks ago, I was 4 weeks along. And that day I knew I had to quit smoking for my baby. I was really close to quitting at one point only because I was using nicotine gum and my husband pointed out that it’s not any better for the baby than smoking. I was still doing ok because We had just gotten a new car and made a no smoking in the car rule and it was cold outside so I just ate on breaks instead. Then I had to quit my job so we could get some sort of help (we made too much money to get help but not enough to pay the doctors bills) and then it got harder for me to quit. Recently a family friend lectured me on smoking while pregnant and told me “If you care about that baby you’ll never pick up another cigarette again “ now I still smoked after but I became more determined to quit. Today marks 3days without smoking and I don’t plan on doing it again, I’m done for good. Sorry this was so long thanks for reading if you did and I hope this encourages someone to quit a bad habit wether it’s smoking or something else. You can do it 😊💪🏼
