I use to smoke 2 packs a day for a LOONG time! I went to the cigarette shop and bought one of the cheap 30$ vapor cigarette (e-cigarette) it didn't work. So I went back and the guy told me if I wanted to quit to buy a good e-cigarette.  So I spent 150$ on and e-cigarette I got the lowest level of nicotine .2mg and within 3 months I had quit all together.  It worked for me. I do have to say you do have to spend a little money to get the good stuff but it makes a world of a difference.  Anyway, 9 months no cigarettes!  Good luck to you

Try reading Allan Carr's quit smoking book, you can smoke while your reading but by the end of the book you have to have your last one. It teaches you to be conscious of every single puff & the taste etc.. Things smokers know deep down but are all too stubborn to admit. But at the end of the day you have to want to quit :-) Good luck & just remember every one you don't have is a WIN even if you fall off the wagon, just keep trying!!

I'm also going to add not to smoke marijuana when your pregnant not even for morning sickness it can cause deformities in the urinary tract and other internal organs

And to the pro-marijuana idiots that think marijuana is all natural and say that it's an herb
It WAS until we bread it to be this monster drug that it is now

This is my fourth pregnancy I have smokes about 5 to 10 cigarettes a day with all of my pregnancies all of my babies are healthy my oldest child is 13 and is still showing no ill effects from my smoking

Now I'm going to tell you what smoking does do to pregnancy smoking affects the placenta it weakens the placenta what does the placenta do it helps nourish the baby that being said understand that you may have a lower birth weight baby
I don't feel that I experienced the lower birth weight my babies were between 6-7-9 pounds
