What is a good way to stop smoking? I found out I'm 4weeks and 6days today and I need to stop smoking. My habit isn't as bad but I do get my urges To smoke..

Try eating sunflower seeds. Or suckers. Study showes that most of the addiction come from having to put you hand to your mouth every time for a hit so try suckers because you have to constantly pit your hand to mouth to remove the sucker. Sunflower seeds fall in the same way

I quit the day I found out. Drink lots of water when you crave and think about the benefits for your baby. I'm always nauseous so its a little easy for me not to smoke.

7 years ago, my doctor told me to gradually stop smoking. Not good for baby to just stop cold turkey. This time for me, prior to getting pregnant, I had switched to an ecig. That has helped a lot. Before I was pregnant, I took out the nicotine, so, I can still vape for the habit, but there's nothing in it. My husband makes the juice himself, so we know exactly what it is and where it comes from.

I found out last week and I had a hard time the first few days but I haven't had a smoke in almost one week now. Eliminate your trigger if you can and stay positive!

I'm having the same problem, i'm 5 1/2 weeks and it's so hard not to smoke, I've slipped up a bit since I found out last week but I'm trying my best to focus on baby and what's best for both of us (even though it's still super hard) good luck I know we can both do it
