When my dad stop smoking, he used to chew gum instead. Just to keep him occupied. Also try not to think of the times when you would usually go to take a smoking break, and maybe focus on other things that might be coming up or anything you are planning. Good luck! When you quit, you’ll be glad you did, believe me

Nobody can stop smoking permanently for another, not even the gorgeous healthy baby I am sure you are going to have.
The truth is if you can get your mindset positive and approach this with excitement at the prospect of being free from the evil weed it is not as hard as you might think.
The physical addiction is relatively mild, when was the last time you woke up in the middle the night due to a cigarette craving? Compare this to eight hours during the day and you will see it the problem is mainly mental. You might like to try http://www.tips-on-stopping-smoking.com/ for some mental preparation.
Also the tools at http://www.quitnet.com/ are fantastic and really show you how far you have come.
All the best I think your life is about to change in several ways for the better…

CONGRATS on cutting down on the smoking!! TRY thinking about your newborn child would you inhale smoke and blow it in his/her face? Tell your partner NOT to smoke around you that way if you dont see it and focus on something else you wont be tempted to light another one up. Start thinking about other things, about your baby. LEAVE YOUR SELF OUT OF STRESSFUL POSITIONS, it just leads to wanting to smoke (I should know =]) When i found out i was prego, i kicked the habbit that same day!!! just throw them away, dont tell yourself ill quit after this pack is gone becuase then you never end up quiting. hope one of these things help you.

hi I’m in the same boat. I went to a health food mart and found these homeopathic tablets called lobelia inflata by boiron. it comes in a bottle about the size of a chapstick tube and the tablets are about the size of a crumb. your supposed to dissolve 5 tablets 3 times a day and so far I’ve cut back drastically. I used to smoke a pack and a half a day and now I’m down to about 10. its still a lot but its much better that what I was smoking. they aren’t cheap but they work. there are about 80 tablets in each tube. they’re about $3.99 a tub or $6.99 for 3 tubes. good luck.

I know all too well how hard it is to quit smoking. Been there. I would suggest trying to cut down the amount you smoke per day. Or, you could try using the patch or gum. Since you are not currently pregnant, there is no reason why you cant use either or. Since your partner is a smoker as well, it makes things much more difficult. Maybe you could suggest they try not to smoke in front of you. I wish you all the luck. I know smoking is not a healthy thing to do, but years ago, many women smoked and yet had very healthy pregnancies and babies.

well for me and my hubby , i quit 1st— i quit for 3 months , then went back , but for 6 months went to 2-3 cigs a day,even had a tubal reversal surgery, got pregnant 4 months later ,then i QUIT the day i found out , but sadly miscarried at 7 weeks, not because of smoking, or my surgery , it was my progesterone levels were low, and also , my husband did his sperm test 2 yrs ago, and it was at 14 mil, 2 years later and he cut down BIG time, and his count went UP 2 mil, so smoking does makes it harder, and it will take you longer, but i know how you feel…. its hard , but you have to think what important to you, and then decide, but i would have 1 person quit 1st then have your husband cut down at least

You need to be firm with your partner. You want to quit – and seeing other people smoke is even worse for you.
If you haven’t already, ban smoking inside the house. From now on, make yourself and your partner smoke outside. This kind of “breaks” some habits (smoking first thing in the morning, smoking after a meal) and makes breaking more easier.
After a meal and first thing in the morning, try to force yourself to go an extra 30 min to an hour without allowing yourself a cigarette. The more “habits” you break, the easier it will become to cut back dramatically. When you are down to say… five cigarettes a day – imagine how much easier it will be to cut down to 2.. then 1… . then … poof! No more.
The key is to break habits. Yes there is nicotine addiction – but I found that the urge to light up in the car, during coffee, after meals, etc was stronger just because i would associate those things with cigarettes. Forcing myself NOT to light up immediately really helped with phasing it out all together.
