That’s so good that you’re quitting before hand! Because basically when you smoke during pregnancy you’re cutting off the babies oxygen supply. One thing perhaps you can do is use a pacifier to chew er suck on as it’ll give ya the hand to mouth satisfaction plus the visual effect/reminder of why your quitting that’s what I did when I quit for my second granted you look a tad like a raver hahaa but it worked for me plus I had gotten so sick of seeds and gum and candy etc….

Well there are many ways to quit. There are many ambitions that make you want to quit such as a baby or family or personal reasons. You have to REALLY want to quit and I mean be REALLY DETERMINED. But a good trick that my neighbor used to quit was she went out a bought a whole pack of ciggarettes and took them home and took a pair of scissors and cut them all up over the trash can.  She said that this made her realize how much money it was costing her but it was hard knowing that she had none so she left one on top of the refridgerator and knowing that it was up there made her not want it as bad. Keep in mind that she was a smoker for about 30 years and just stoped because she was determined, this also made her health much better (including her wallet!!). Its also easier when you dont live with smokers because seeing people smoke makes it harder because it makes you crave them.

Yeah I had been smoking for 18 years (well if you take out the years I had quit) and yes it takes EXTREME determination money and vanity health are all good ones our kiddos I’ve taught my kids exactly what smoking does they’ve seen all the pic’s they know all the facts and they know exactly how hard this is to quit. Whenever I’m feeling weak all I can think about is the times before when I had quit and then restarted and been trying to hide it from my kids and then the look of utter sadness and disappointment in my sons face I literally just can’t bear to see that ever again and so literally above all THAT has been my major motivational factor in all of this, as last time his eyes literally weld up and turned red when he found out last time…so I just won’t do that again I can’t

lol whyat did you do?
Im hungover..i want to smoke really badly.
I think i might have one, then chucj the packet ontop of the shelves that i cant reach, even with a chair

1st off Yeah We Got Sticky’ed!!

Secondly if ya already quit ya need ta get all cigarettes out of your house also it helps if you wash all your coats and steam clean your car and clean your patio furniture etc because all that stuff holds the smell of the cigarettes and it’ll trigger you to wanna smoke. I know I was pissed when I had quit as I always kept my pack and lighter out back on my porch and I had my last pack out back and when it was gone it was gone I wasn’t gonna buy any more.. well on that last day…TrueGreen Chemlawn came to treat my lawn and it was a new guy I didn’t think anything of it but it was early in the morning and I was still in my Pj’s so I stayed inside well as soon as he left I went out to go smoke and my pack was gone!!! And it was like a FULL pack! So I went franticly searching through the house digging for those little stashes ya know all smokers have finally I did was any super desperate smoker does I picked up a butt…a nasty old butt…my husband commented on it too..Think about it to a non smoker picking up something that has been sitting in an ashtray for a day or two and then putting up to your lips and inhaling it in and mean it surmounts to a heroin addict using dirty needles (ok not quite THAT bad) but still) it’s pretty scary to let anything have THAT much power over you to literally drive you into a frenzy….

I think i will have to post here.
I started smoking with friends at 10 - just something to do only a few a day
but was buying my own packs by 13. Been smoking ever since and promised myself i would quit by the time i was 25 and that is now so have to quit today!
Going to have one last cheeky ciggy out my window and then it's angry cold turkey for me. Hope everyone else trying is doing ok with the quitting but i read somewhere that it was not good for pregnant women to try and quit smoking as it also agitates the baby. But then i suppose it's a matter of which is worse for it - the agitation or the smoke
