Electronic Cigarettes?

[brooke7373]

I've been trying to quit smoking and have had a hard time. I did go from 2 packs a day to less then 10 but I really want to completely quit. I asked my doctor and she said shed prefer me use the patch, gum, e-cigarette or anything other than smoking. I bought  e-cigs, the lowest dose for 2 cartridges then no nicotine for the remaining cartridges. Has anyone else tried e-cigs while pregnant and successfully quit? I'm desperate to quit and will try anything.

yeah same here! I still felt super guilty about it at first even after my doc recommended the vape but after talking with other women who also do it and seeing healthy babies born to those women I feel better. my doc tells me all the time I should be proud bc most women cant quit at all its definitely hard

[brooke7373]

So true. I did use a little 6mg today but that's ok. Still soooo much better than real cigs. Thank you so much for your advice! I feel better already and don't feel guilty everyday like I was. Its wonderful :)

[sarahsetfire]

yes! good job! I have a flavor that is 0mg too that I use as well. but when I feel really stressed or after I eat a big meal sometimes full use the flavor w low mg of nicotene. goodkluck & congrats! its definitely hard in itself to quit smoking & even harder to quit when your pregnant and on a constant emotional roller coaster

[brooke7373]

@Sarah- I'm using a vaporizer too! I bought the lowest 6mg but ended up Just using 0mg to see if I could cold Turkey it. So far it a been working well. My doctor also agreed and recommended this as well. Good luck to us both!

I use a vapirizor. its basically an e cig just different. you can smoke all diff flavors and such and all diff mgs of nicotene. I started at a high-ish level of nicotene and worked ny way down to 8mg and now I only hit it when I'm super stressed or sometimes after I eat a meal. my doc agreed with my vaping instead of continuing to smoke cigs because its not the nicotene that is harmful to the baby its the 7000 carcinogenic chemicals in cuts that are harmful.

Thanks my dear. So far no cigarettes for 48 hours and zero nicotine in the ecig. This is the longest I've been. I've had moments of difficulty but nothing too terrible. I'm trying to quit everything within the next 10 days. Thanks for your support ladies!

I quit cigarettes immediately when I found out I was pregnant and started using the e cigarette. Two weeks later I quit using that too! Good luck!

[brooke7373]

Thanks ladies. So far so good. No nicotine at all today and doing well. Mild headache but nothing bad yet. Ecig has been easy. I bought the no nicotine cartridge so I'm not getting any nicotine. It's been pretty good so far. Thanks again for your help!

My two best friends switched to ecigs while they were pregnant. They said it helped them a lot. One of them went back to regular cigarettes after she had the baby and one of them still only uses her ecig. I've never been a smoker but I'm sure it's hard to quit. It's good that you are making that effort for your baby. :)

I had a hard time, but at 14 weeks I finally quit. I couldn't stand the guilt anymore. Plus, I had lowered down to maybe 2 cigs a day I saw no point in continuing the bad habit. But, now I'm 32 weeks and I crave a cig sometimes. I just know after I have my little girl I'll smoke again. :( Good luck to you. You Can Do it.

[Brizabella]

Thanks so much for your feedback ladies. I started today so hopefully this kicks it for me. I'm doing zero nicotine too!!!

I have smoked for 12 years (i'm 27). Last two months i'm using only e-cig (with 0% nicotine) and it's working :)

[elizajk]

I went from smoking ciggs prob. A pack a day...tried to quit abd it's hard so I smoke an electronic one only now. Which is a huge deal doe me doing from smoking for 7 years to just electronic.

[brooke7373]

Thanks ladies for your feedback and support. I'm starting the e cigs today and hoping not to have anything by Christmas. We can do it!

I'm reading the alan carr easy way to stop smoking and I'm hoping that I will stop once I'm finished. I really want to stop but like you I'm struggling. Good luck with it x

[jennymeaney]

I quit instantly with my e cig but I use nicotine cartridges and find it super easy. Good luck.x

I've never smoked, but I can only imagine how hard it would be to quit! You're doing such a good thing for your little one by trying to quit and putting in the effort! I know so many women who smoked heavily throughout the whole pregnancy and didn't once think about their babys health! Goodluck! :)
