I think it would be more safe if u just took one or two hits from a real cigarette, something to just help u for now, im not sayin its ok but i THINK it would be more safe, i have my times when i just cry because i really really need a sq, i wont tell my bd but ill hide in the backyard take one lil hit or 2 n ill be ok the whole day or week its just something you need to fight, sq are really hard to stop, just think of how many u havnt smoke n how good your doing im sure 1 sq wont do as much harm

Not every baby is gonna come out fine when you smoke. There may be something wrong you can't see or  detect yet. And ecigs still have some nicotine in it Even if you fill it yourself.

Formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen found in cigarette smoke, also dwells in the vaporized liquid of popular electronic or e-cigarettes, researchers said Wednesday.

E-cigarette sales are booming in the United States and many hoped so- called "vaping" would replace tobacco smoking and be a panacea for the nearly 160,000 lung cancer deaths associated with conventional cigarettes.



But according to an analysis published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, the exposure to formaldehyde from e-cigarettes, based on similar chronic use as tobacco, could be five to 15 times higher than from smoking cigarettes

I suggest you do your own research on ecigs and vape pens. Vape pens and the e liquid you use in them DOES NOT have formaldehyde. also, it isn't smoke coming off ecigs and vapes, it's water vapor which is harmless.  I would definitely recommend quitting, at least with nicotine. You can get ecigs and e liquid with no nicotine.

Talk To Your Doctor, I Was Told Not To Quit Cold Turkey. The Withdrawal Could Do More Harm Than Good. I Cut Back Until I Finally Quit.

The ones that you fill yourself with the liquid the vapor pens are totally fine I've been using mine before I even got pregnant and my daughter is perfectly healthy I'm getting induced Wednesday. The ones you buy at gas stations have flamaldyhide or however you spell it

As much as not smoking is better for you and baby it can be hard to quit. I have a stressful job so on days I am in change I find it hard. What I have done is bought a pack of smokes and give it to a friend who lives about 20 mins away from me and if I desperately want one I just go over to her place. If your stressing and really craving one you can end up doing more damage than actually having a smoke occasionally. I would stay away from ecigs and vape pens. Even though there is heaps of bad crap in cigarettes there's gunna be more craps in ecigs and vape

I quit smoking pretty fast. I replaced cigarettes with jolly rancher and sweet tarts. I picked a day I was gonna stop smoking and smoked one less cigarette each day until I reached the day I picked to stop. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be. But I've heard people miscarry behind trying to quit smoking. I still smoke a half a cigarette every now and then when I'm having a stressful day. But I don't even want them like I did anymore.

There is still nicotine in vape pens and ecigs. Even if they say nicotine free it's not FDA regulated so nicotine still gets into them. The nicotine can cause lack of blood flow and nutrition to your baby. Try chewing on something or sucking on something. A handful of sunflower seeds when I'm craving helps me.

How about the second hard smoke from e cigs ?
My boyfriends e cig makes a ton of smoke. I've told him to keep it away from me. But whenever he blows it out it reaches me on the other side of the couch.

Why smoke and risk the health of your baby? Find something in place of a ciggarette. I understand it's hard to go cold Turkey but and thing you breath into your lungs isn't good. I just wouldn't risk that.
