Hey yeah im 15 and was extremley worried about my parents smoking the both started at 13 so i looked it up and they were spending like $5000 aus a year on it smoking a pack a day which they didnt realise also each ciggarette takes around 12 minutes from your life. once i told them they slowed down but didnt stop but then when my mums father died of cancer because of smoking it hit them hard and they pretty much stopped after a few weeks.
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.
All of this information should be enough reason for you to continue not to smoke for the sake of the baby, you also want to eat right, exercise and stay away from all unneeded drugs and alcohol while you are pregnant and nursing. Please take good care of yourself and that way you can be sure you are taking the best care of your child.
And opioid drugs like OxyContin, which are widely prescribed to adults for pain relief, are the third-most-popular drugs of abuse for teenagers. Both ADHD medications and OxyContin are easy to find in medicine cabinets and teenagers figure most parents will never notice if one or two pills go missing.

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.
After a year of treatment, vitamin D levels went up slightly in the placebo group, and went up slightly more in the normal-dose vitamin D group -- to 16 ng/mL for girls and to 20 ng/mL for boys. That's well below the 30 ng/mL level the U.S. National Institutes of Health states may be desirable for overall health and disease prevention.
But kids who got 2,000 IU/day vitamin D3 saw their vitamin D levels soar -- to 38 ng/mL for girls and to 35 ng/mL for boys.
I found a place with an autoclave but do I need to worry about this last time? What are the facts? And do I really need to worry about HIV if it can't live out of its host? Please let me know so I can put my mind to ease. Thank you. This is a follow up question to the following that I already asked:
I got a manicure on Sunday at a Vietnamese place. I forgot to bring my own tools so decided to let them use theirs.
Good for you for quitting. When you quit, i've heard the lungs go through an adjustment phase, more phelgm might be produced as the lungs heal. Even though you have a nicotine replacement, your body is detoxing from all the other chemicals in a cigarette, this slows you down. I wouldn't sweat 2 minutes, your body will bounce back soon.
Please google Abdominal breath and find out all details of it , It is easy to follow instructions. Wet dreams are common in teenagers. If you practice calming down, wet dreams will not occur.

Hi, I'm 8w1d. I'm trying to quit smoking but it is so hard. Before I found out I smoked about 1.5 packs/day. I've cut down to 2-4 cigs/day. I always thought that it would be easier if I was quiting for my baby, but I'm really struggling to quit completely. Does anybody have any advice to help me kick this horrible habit for good?
Looking for someone who can help me with facts...Recently the person I was with had an outbreak of herpes, and was diagnosed by a Dr with genital herpes. Since then he has blamed me as the cause, for his genital herpes. However, I've never had any sypmtoms. Fearing I was cause I went to the Dr and had a Herpes Blood test since I don't have any symptoms that is the only test they are able to perform. I just received the results and they were negative.
I stopped the second found out I was pregnant without a thought in all honesty, and having had any cravings either and I had been smoking for 13 years. My partner is meant to be giving up as the midwife told him that once baby here even a few hours after a cig then holding the baby it would still harm it.
