Avatar f tn s so dangerous and harmful to my precious baby, everytime I craved a cigarette I looked up the danger of dangers of smoking whilst pregnant on the internet, the things that really made me not light up were that every cigarette smoked made my babys heart beat really fast, it said online that I might aswell just squeeze my babys umbilical cord for a while, resulting in my baby not having enough oxygen and struggling :( I quit cold turkey and haven't looked back, I'm now 37 weeks and it'
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
Avatar f tn I asked my doctor if I could smoke a vaporizer and he said no that you are better off smoking cigarettes because they have no actual proof that it is safe for a Pregnant woman to smoke. So I wouldn't smoke it.
Avatar f tn Also, I knew a guy who was always tired and drained and it turned out that the cigarettes were harming him so much that the cigarettes were creating a sludge in his lungs and liver, leading to excessive lack of energy. I smoke and I know it's hard to quit but quitting would probably be helpful for you. Warning though, if you get very dizzy, cold sweats, shakiness, and sometimes nausea all together can be a sign you may faint or lose consciousness. Be careful and good luck to you!
Avatar f tn So, here I am, for the probably 4th time tapering off a 8-10/day hydro habit. I am wondering...is this anything like quitting smoking? I smoked for 23 years, and could not imagine life without my "best friends", my cigarettes. I mean...what would I do when the phone rang, when I got in the car, after I was done eating, when I went out, sat next to the pool, etc etc. I remember thinking how will I EVER ENJOY life again without my cigarettes.
736475 tn?1281259327 how many of you fine addicts have tried to quit smoking cigarettes too? almost all the addicts i know smoke. this is so hard. talk about relapse! plus its' legal.
Avatar m tn There is more concentration on what kind of person you should feel like for smoking than the physical dangers of tobacco. Lastly, raising prices for something in terrible economic times is only causing crime to rise, and it continues every day. So these methods or ideas to stop smoking are not working to good. So comes the last attempt, make it illegal. This desperate idea will cause nothing but things to get worse.
Avatar f tn I am on holiday and my friend is smoking e cigarettes. Yesterday I came back to our room early to find the e cigarette making a strange noice so I put it on the balcony in doing so some fluid leaked on my hand. I have washed and washed my hands but still worried can any one help! 15 weeks pregnant.
Avatar m tn Off the top of my head, Ill run off a few of the wonderful things that can happen because of smokeless tobacco. 1. Oral Cancer 2. Esophageal Cancer 3. Stomach Cancer 4. Tooth loss 5. Gum disease/erosion 6. Facial disfigurement because of cancer I mean, that is a pitiful list but the number of chemicals in that stuff is enough to make me want to quit... In fact, today was my quit date. I plan on making this quit for real. I quit before for a few years, then tripped up.
Avatar n tn Before I was pregnant I vaped instead of smoking, with nicotine. I was wondering if it was okay to vape with no nicotine while pregnant?
Avatar f tn I'm a bad mother already at 25 weeks. Health anxiety ripping my mind apart and now developed neck pains and im scared even more. I'm a crap mother to be. Literally. Only consolation are cigarettes but I cry each time because of my lil boy inside me. What can I do I'm all over the place.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics for infections and bronchodilators for bronchospasm. And of course avoidance of smoking to prevent further damage to the lungs. Talk to your GP regarding this in the meantime you could try warm salt water gargles, steam inhalations and breathing exercises. Regards.
Avatar f tn I'll be 26wks Friday and I have a big problem smoking cigarettes. I actually quit my entire 1st trimester. And then I started craving them...and now it physically makes me sick not to have one. I wanna quit so bad!!!
1533352 tn?1307054656 Addicton notwithstanding, I think I might be OCD about my smoking because I am extremely specific about the way I open each pack of cigarettes, the way I hold and light each cigarette, what kinds of lighters I'll use to light my cigarettes, etc. I dont know if theres any treatment for that other than quitting smoking, which is something Im not interested in. But yeah, anyone have any tips for managing their OCD about managing their money?
Avatar f tn Coming from a former smoker don't ever 'reward' yourself with cigarettes. Ie: I haven't smoked all day, therefore I should be able to smoke 2 cigarettes later. I quit cold turkey. It was extremely hard and it took almost a year before I didn't think of smoking daily. I used this website and spent time reading it over. It helped me so much. I carried a pack of cigarettes with me for the first 3 months.
Avatar f tn I was also smoking.. Like you said nothing to be proud of... I must say as soon as i found out i was pregnant, i stopped, after trying for long with patches and pills... I think you should have a bit more faith in yourself you will ne able to do it...
10743983 tn?1440210210 The smell still bothers me, and I really don't want to smell like that again. Going in and out of stores bothers me because they're inconsiderate about where they put their ashtrays, and people who smoke generally don't care. I was that way when I smoked, I didn't think about others as much as I should of. As a nonsmoker the smell of cigarettes bothers me. But it doesn't stop me from wanting one. I don't know that mine will quit, I doubt it really.
Avatar f tn Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby. Increase your baby's heart rate. Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth. Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight. Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems. Second hand smoke has been shown to be just as harmful.
Avatar n tn Hard to imagine anyone on a nutrition forum encouraging you to find a way to not quit smoking. That being said, lots of people smoke and still are obese, so I don't think the cigarettes are the problem unless you're smoking when you'd otherwise be eating.
Avatar f tn Hi, I used to smoke. I was highly addicted to cigarettes because I got to the point where packaged unfilters were not good enough: so in the end, I rolled my own. I also woke up several times in the middle of the night just to get my nicotine hit. If this is not the first time you quit, then you probably know that it gets harder to quit each time after, but it's not impossible. I quit by fake "cold turkey.
Avatar f tn I've been feeling much better lately. I started smoking cigarettes again though, and I feel like a hypocrite for replacing one addiction with another. I know how bad they are for you, probably worse than vicodin. But they're obviously a lot easier to come by, and my husband said he'd rather have me smoking cigarettes than popping pills all day. What do you guys think? By no means am I trying to justify using vicodin over cigarettes.

Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight. Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems. The more cigarettes you smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems.
Avatar f tn Im 5 weeks pregnant now.. & I'm having a hard time quiting smoking cigarettes. What's every ones opinion on smoking while pregnant? Smoking 1-2 cigarettes per day!!
Avatar f tn i've answered a similar question before, and everyone ganged up on me, so i'll say that you should quit completely.. i've smoked about 1 to 10 ciggarettes a day with my baby, and he turned out perfectly healthy and normal weight... i read from a book that there's only 40% chance of something being wrong with a baby if the mother smokes like 2 packs a day..so in my opinion, smoking half a pack has a little % of something being wrong...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn reading that rude young ladies posts she has made herself she sounds like the one who needs help. I know quitting is hard, I was smoking for a few weeks after finding out I was pregnant because I was so stressed and couldn't eat (I was smoking pot) and I just felt terrible knowing I have a life inside of me so I quit cold turkey. it's easier when u have people supporting u and gave things to distract u. good luck mommy!
