facts about smoking and cigarettes

I am not here to be the judge and jury and I understand that smoking is extremely addictive, but there are certain things we do for our kid that are very hard, and one of them is being pregnant, taking care of our bodies while pregnant and nursing (and I am not even talking about giving birth!). That is only the start of a difficult life of a parent. So, let me give you the facts that you probably already know, but they are important to repeat.

I quit drinking, smoking pot and smoking cigarettes all at the same time, cold turkey. I did the patch for the first week or so and then whenever I felt like I needed one for about a month after that. I OD'ed (combination of pills) and ended up in a hospital for 5 days so I figured once I came home I was better off just continuing on with the momentum I had going. It was more of a psychological thing for me.

Hi everyone, my Father has been smoking a LOT of Cigarettes since the age of 12, and hasn't stopped inbetween once, and i'm seriously worried about his health now, he's constantly coughing really aggressively, and i'm worried eventually the worst is going to happen - Cancer. I keep telling him to stop, but I know he won't. He is 45 by the way. What can I do to make him stop? And if he carries on smoking like this, will he eventually get cancer?

I have been told many things about smoking during pregnancy. I am currently nine weeks pregnant and I'm having a problem with just quitting smoking. I've been told that since I've smoked for almost ten years that if I just up and quit I run a high risk of loosing my baby. I've been told to cut back and I've got to where I only smoke about 5 to 8 a day and before I got pregnant I smoked a pack a day.

I smoke cigarettes and I'm 10 weeks pregnant. I've cut down from a pack to 7 or less cigarettes a day. I need to know if there has been any possible problems I need to worry about, or if its okay to smoke during pregnant as long as I'm not over doing it.

The Dexadrine helps at work, but was still always smoking or thinking about cigarettes ever few minutes. I started smoking 15 years ago in highschool when I was untreated for ADD, but then my addiction to cigarettes got completely out of hand after I left home - and Ive always felt like I could only focus my best when smoking or if I had a lit cigarette in hand - which more or less resulted in me constantly chain smoking.

Anyone else addicted to cigarrettes? I know it's nothing to be proud of but I can't quit smoking from one day to the other.. If I don't have one a day I will go crazy... Does anyone else have a similar problem?

we are completely healthy and the best advice I have is stay away from smokers as much as possible, keep a tally of every day you go without a cigarette (or get a handy app that keeps track for you) and every time you want one, look up the benefits of quitting smoking, and the detrinent smoking cigarettes while pregnant is! (: good luck ma'am!

I'm already at 28 weeks and I still smoke cigarettes.. Can anyone tell me how to stop without stressing myself out??

Also, during the quitting time, because my will power was not great, I avoided parties, barbeques, bars, going camping, concerts, States, countries and cafes were there was a lot of smoking going on. After a year and stricter non-smoking laws, it was easier to handle those activities and places. I didn't use patches, my doctor tried to help with Wellbutrin but it didn't work for me, and I'm the sort of person that doesn't like to be on a schedule.

I smoked ciggarets too and it was really hardfor me to quite and i still sometimes get so stress i want one but havent had one since i was eight weeks and im eighteen weeks now but what i did is cut my portions down by half so i used to smoke ten cigarettes a fay so i cut downto five the next day and then cut down to two and a half yhe next and then i ended up smoking one a day for a co i ple days then decided to just stop yhat was the easiest way forme

but it can also depend on you health history, your family history, and smoking or not should be up to you, unless the doctor says you HAVE to quit cause he seen something bad on the scan..

ve only smoked about 15 or less cigarettes. it was a stupid choice and now in nervous and in always thinking about it. can anything happen just for 15 cigarettes?

I thought about the life in me that had to smoke aswell. And then i thought about my brother who has asthma because my mom smoked while pregnant. & i thought about how if my baby knew how harmful cigarettes were and for me to place the gamble on her life like that, i didnt want to tell her her respiratory problems were because i couldnt quit. Because its only fair that she know... I would much rather tell her, i love smoking cigarettes. I quit because i loved you more.

Is about 15 weeks and has been smoking the entire time i believe. She went to the emergency room for some reason and the doctor advised her not to stop smoking because the baby is addicted and might stress out if she stops. Not 100% if its true but I believe it makes sense in a way. He probably asked her to do something else too.

Thats so true about the smoking, I totally am weird about how I hold my cigarettes and how I open my pack too! I dont know if thats OCD or what though, but I wouldnt worry about it. The money is harder to say. Since I never really seem to have any money, I dont feel the need to look in an empty purse all the time. Ha. Seriously though, a dozen times a day sounds like alot Rachel. I guess if its on a smart phone its not different than a facebook addiction, but I dont know.

m starting to crave a cigarette and finding it harder and harder to resist when I do crave one. I had stopped smoking by the pack and got an ecigarette which is just water vapor and nicotine. I'm trying terribly not to use it or smoke a real cigarette but i'm failing. Has anyone had experiance with this if not any advise on holding back? I'm thinking of my baby for sure but my will power is lacking. Help!

Nothing can help, food and gum are just other addictions. Next time you have a cigarette consciously think about the smell and the taste and ask yourself what enjoyment you are getting out of it. There is a book. The smoking book. Every single person I know who had read it quit. If you really want to quit you should read it. I will go look up the name. I was a casual smoker and it made me stop even that.

Consequently, PHE want to see health and social care professionals provide accurate advice on smoking and e-cigarettes, by discussing what the best routes of referral are and offer "a range of evidence-based, effective" options, including e-cigarettes - if smokers want to follow this route. While the PHE say that 'free stop smoking services' are the most effective for quitting, the vaping device does have "potential benefits" with moving people away from tobacco.

I did some research about cigarettes and it scared me. One reason why I quit abruptly is because I got scared of what I've read. So, I thought that to keep me scared, I have to continue reading and researching otherwise I might forget about it and go back to my old habit. That's why I decided to blog about cigarettes, that way I would keep reading, making me not only scared but more educated about the bad effects of cigarettes.

Please no hatefull bashing but would like to hear your opinion. I'm currently 23w and have quit smoking cigarettes and drinking and caffeine as soon as I found out I was preggo. I'm just wondering how bad marijuana smoke is if its one toke every few days? Have any of you? I figure its way better then cigarettes and women smoke those all thru their pregnancy. I haven't found any studies proving negative side effects.

Nicotine tablet and vaping are not helping to cut down on cigarettes. I tried Phys iatric medicines for 3 years to get rid of anxiety and smoking. But the 15 kg weight gain over the years due to the anti-depressant has increased my stress level even more and made my condition worse leading to more dependency on smoking.

I'm twenty four and have smoked since I was eighteen. I also self harmed since I was fifteen. I found out about two weeks ago that I'm pregnant (currently only 6 weeks). Anyways I did a little research to see what I was doing to my baby. The list included miscarriages, premature birth, and sids. I fully understand being addicted to something and feeling stressed and hopeless without it, but I honestly would not be able to forgive myself if my actions caused harm to my baby.
