Avatar f tn After nearly two years of trying for a baby I was overwhelmed! I still continued to smoke for a couple of days, but only a couple of puffs from my husbands cigarette 2-3 times a day, then I looked online about the effects off smoking whilst pregnant and quit straight away! There are times when I would like a cigarette but I care for my unborn baby a million times more than a dirty fag!
Avatar f tn ive personally never heard of anyones baby dying from smoking a cigarette...i know women who have smoked and had perfectly healthy babies...plus this site is for encouragement...maybe you should kindly encourage them to quit instead of bashing them...every has an opinion and has free will to do as they please. I think it is more annoying than anything tho when people talk about oh can i eat a piece of chocolate or is gonna kill my baby? really?
Avatar f tn I use to smoke 2 packs a day for a LOONG time! I went to the cigarette shop and bought one of the cheap 30$ vapor cigarette (e-cigarette) it didn't work. So I went back and the guy told me if I wanted to quit to buy a good e-cigarette. So I spent 150$ on and e-cigarette I got the lowest level of nicotine .2mg and within 3 months I had quit all together. It worked for me. I do have to say you do have to spend a little money to get the good stuff but it makes a world of a difference.
Avatar f tn To reduce SIDS, you should avoid having anyone smoke around your child. Its not just about asthma. As far as during pregnancy, I don't know the statistics but second hand smoke can be as bad as actually smoking I think. For sure, show them some statistics on the effects of smoking on mother's and babies. If they still don't care, like others said it may be time to be somewhere else. Stay with another relative?
Avatar f tn t smoke) and I took vacation for a week and we had so much fun and stayed so busy a cigarette was the last thing on my mind before I know it I went a week without even a hit of a cigarette!!
Avatar m tn Nicotine is what keeps people smoking despite its harmful effects. Because the smoker inhales only some of the smoke from a cigarette and not all of each puff is absorbed in the lungs, a smoker gets about 1 to 2 milligrams of the drug from each cigarette. A drop of pure nicotine would kill a person-in fact, nicotine can be used as a pesticide on crops.

Avatar n tn 2 days ago i had an operation to get a bone graft in my mouth to get my teeth back after a horrible accident would smoking an electronic cigarette have the same effects as smoking a normal cigarette? i cannot hav any loss of oxygen in my bone or blood cells somebody please help me!!!!
1342640 tn?1276181928 I think they are trying every way to keep one from smoking, and that's good. I know of no issues with smoking while on the medications, but I do know the long term effects of smoking and they're not good. But one thing at a time. Caffeine makes anxiety worse because it is a stimulant, so maybe this should be the first thing you work on giving up. Not all therapists are good, and you need to find another one that can address your particular issue.
Avatar f tn But do it in a nice way of course. You can explain to him the negative effects of cigarette smoking, and you don't want him to suffer from its painful effects, that you want him to live longer for your family especially for your children. You can both research of other alternative to lessen his cravings for cigarette and eventually quit it for good.
4020799 tn?1355825570 I smoked when I was younger, I quit and got pregnant 5yrs after that so I didn't really think about ciggs.. my daughter is now 5 and a year ago I started up again, I'm 17w now and when I found out at 7weeks I quit. I was a chain smoker I could easily smoke a pack a day.. It's really easy to quit, people can do anything when they put their mind to it..
Avatar n tn Is this somewhat true is it better to quit in a span of a week. I bought myself a vape recently and every 3 days I lowered nicotine mg untill I just put in a flavor with 0 nicotine it helped! I quit for 2 whole weeks but then lost the vape and picked up another cig..
Avatar f tn So I know this woman who is about as far along as I am (34weeks), and she smokes at least a cigarette everyday, and has been throughout her entire pregnancy. She told me it was because her doctor said that of she "quit cold turkey" that it could have negative effects on the baby because of with drawels, though she had plenty of time to quit by now. Is this true?? What do you guys think??
Avatar n tn Here in the UK you're classed as a younger stroke survivor if you're aged under 65; at least that's what seems to be the case here in Portsmouth, where I live. To see the local stroke specialist dr in the stroke clinic you have to be aged 65 or over, so being aged 52 and wanting a second medical opinion on something stroke-related, i had to pay out for a private medical second opinion. As to smoking being a factor, it certainly wasn't in my case.
Avatar f tn No your baby is fine I had smoked sometimes during my pregnancy and though it is wrong an half a cig wont harm the baby it is the consistency of smoking cigarettes that can..

Avatar m tn //cigarette-facts.com/cigarette-smoking-the-scary-facts/ Watch it there, I got so scared since I know I've smoked way more than 2 boxes...
Avatar f tn t quit cold turkey now you have to slowly cut down because unfortunately your baby has an addiction to nicotine already instead of having a cigarette try going for a walk and keeping yourself busy and your mind off smoking good luck you can do it!!
Avatar n tn I am able to go long stretches without smoking when around family (all non-smokers), however, where I work a lot of the customers smoke (in a separate smoking room, that has been approved by the State of Nebraska--no 2nd hand smoke to deal with if not in the room), but I can easily see inside the room. Also, many of my friends smoke, so I am not shielded from it like I am when with my family.
Avatar f tn however, my husband started on it, then read the possible side effects, got scared and quit taking it. I have not had a cigarette for 5 yrs, he still smokes. Keep in mind the side effects are not inevitable; some people get them, some don't. The drawback to Chantix is that it's expensive and is not covered by insurance...... insurance companies would rather cover the diseases caused by smoking than a cessation program...... go figure.
Avatar f tn Every time you want a cigarette maybe chew a piece of gum.
Avatar f tn meggster, firstly understand that you should quit for your own health reasons, and not because somebody wants you to!!! I think now you are old enough to understand and take seriously that cigarette smoke can cost you your life in the course of time. 'am sure you must be aware of all the ill-effects of smoking? Smoking, which starts as a teenage fad, for impressing others. ..blah...blah. ..etc..often becomes a dirty and dangerous life-time habit!
