Any smokers trying to quit and want a buddy?

I've cut back drastically, but want to fully quit. I just started the second trimester and if I continue, it can stunt the baby's growth. We can set a date and do it together! Don't worry, I don't judge because I know its hard. Just an idea!!

    I limit to 5 a day. My husband also smokes and it makes it harder. I really want to/need to quit. It's harder than I thought it would be, especially on bad days! I just had a doctors appt and they said to pick a date 2 weeks out and keep cutting back until than and quit. I'm gonna try it.

    Im also trying to quit. I limit 6aday. My partner also smokes as well which indeed makes it alot harder!! My doc told me to cut them out day by day because of stress levels etc. Count them a week then cut 2-3 out that week and so on. But just remember its never to late to give up. I hate the way people look at Me. But its my choice. I will give up on my own accord..

    I need help too. I was able to quit fast with my other three pregnancies but this time its harder cause my boyfriend smokes too. I need to stop immediately...and I feel bad sometimes but with stress and all it's just hard.....let's do it together

    DajanesCabral - pick a date and I'll quit too. We can check in with each other for updates or support. I think it might be easier if someone is going through the same things. We should keep cutting down until the date, than quit!

    Emmalouise- I agree. Its a hard habit to break and you have to be ready! Don't be upset by others. =)

    I thought it was going to be hard for me to quit, but a week after i found out i was preg i quit cold turkey. For two weeks after i stopped i would dreaM of smoking lol. Then one night in a dream someone offered me a smoke, and i said naw i dont smoke and that was the last i ever dreamed of smoking. It also makes my chest hurt, and i cant breath around it which helps.
    My cousin smoked throughout her pregnancy and her baby was born with a sack in its forehead that lead down to the tip of its nose. The drs said it could eventually burst and he would die, all because she smoked throughout her pregnancy. It really does affect the baby. He had to have surgery to have the sac removed and is alive and well today but who wants to put their baby through all that.

    Tried switching to hookah, but no good. If camel wides were no longer in stores i might be able to kick it completely.
