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 there! I sympathise so much. I have been smoking for about 100 years. However, 2 0f my g/children have ashma and the other sweetheart has recently been diagnosed with Lupus. So, I have to do it for them. I know I should be doing it for me but I enjoy a smoke, about 10 a day. I have just bought an ecig. My plan was to substitute each in-between one with this ecig. I am housebound so my husband went to get it and bought the strongest nicotine refills. OMG!

I work for a vapor store. As in e-cigs. I also used to smoke before I found vaping. Confirmed by my doctor that it's completely safe. Consumable products in the ejuice. And a great alternative to smoking cigarettes. It's an idea for you to try or think about. And they are relatively inexpensive depending on location. Here in MO. A quality setup is averaging 29.99 with juice. Stay away from gad station brands like Vx OR Foos.

From what i got they're not too sure on the effects that smoking weed have on the fetus during pregnancy because not too many women are willing to disclose that they've smoked weed during their pregnancies. But different studies concluded different things. My brothers babys mother smoked weed during both of her pregnancies and both my niece and nephew have slight speech problem his other babys mother didn't smoke during her pregnancies and both of her kids are developing just fine.

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 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 really really hate smoking, but I think that comment was incredibly rude. Just the fact you are posting this shows you are trying to look for ways to quit. I would suggest cutting down a few a day until you get to the point where you are almost at nothing. Also, I agree with momma_wolf. You need to find things to distract yourself with when the cravings get bad. Also, talking to your doctor might help because they might have better suggestions that won't give the baby withdraws either.

I used to smoke, then I switched to E-cigs about a year ago. I found out I was pregnant a week ago and just handed my ecig to my bf told him to do with it what he saw fit. He either hid it or threw it away. Either way I'm glad he did. I've been a total ***** since then but I'll get over it. Being pregnant is an excellent excuse to finally quit smoking for good. You'll be glad you did. Trust me.

I read a report that more and more doctors are prescribing marijuana to pregnant women instead of pills for things like headaches and morning sickness and pain because its natural and ALOT healthier than pills. That being said....medicinal and street marijuana are completely different. Medicinal is carefully regulated and manufactured, street is likely sprayed with synthetic THC, grown with pesticides or laced with just about anything. So smoking isn't necessarily bad for you or the baby....

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.

So I quit smoking the day I found out I was pregnant which has been about 8 weeks, I am now almost 14 weeks pregnant. At first it was really easy but as of lately my cravings are bad when I get stressed and I find myself rationalizing cravings in my head by thinking about everyone I know who smokes while pregnant and how healthy their babies are...

I quit smoking by switching to electronic cigarettes. They only have nicotine in them - no toxins and they emit water vapor when you exhale. They are less expensive than regular cigarettes too. It takes a little time to get used to it, but I can't stand regular cigarettes now.

ve only smoked a couple of cigarettes and you can reverse the effects if you quit. Good for you for being concerned about it! Be tough and stop smoking now!

I smoke cigarettes but recently found out I was pregnant. I have seen many smoking those vapor cigs and you can buy them with no nicotine in it. I was wnting your opinions if that would be dangerous or not. Or if you know people that smoke these while pregnant.

m still scared of developing lung cancer, as I smoked cigarettes for about 15 years before diagnosis (I quit smoking after that- 1 pack a day was my average- but I've started smoking occassionally the past few years since having children (helps me relax). My fear is that the tar from cigarettes have accumulated on the calcifications and never left because the cilia can't 'clean' the tar off them and that I'm adding more when I smoke occassionally.

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.

My quitting smoking app tells me how many cigarettes I would have smoked by now at a normal pace and its 800+ at this point and I can be proud of that.
