I wasn't trying to be a *****, and actually I do know what its like, I've been smoking for years and am quite aware that it is an addiction. But when I found out I was pregnant and was told about the problems it could cause for my child, I decided it wasn't worth the risk. And not just cigarettes either, I was smoking pot daily as well. Yes its hard to quit, but I'm just saying why take the risk. Fortunately it is your choice. But yes I agree that cutting back to 3 cigarettes a day is a really good start and yes you should be proud of that. Good luck to you.

Miley, I am very proud of you for.cutting back. Smoking, for those of you who don't know, is actually harder to quit than heroin. Yes it can cause complications, but unfortunately, as with cancer, and most other diseases and health problems, they don't discriminate. You could go your whole pregnancy and do everything perfect and still lose your child. That being said, shame on those of you who were lecturing. It may have been out of the caring of your heart, but she needs our support, not our criticism. Miley, the only reason I was able to quit is because the smell started making me sick. Yes if you can quit that's great, but if you can't at least you cut back. You should be proud. Unfortunately this is also a public forum, so I am sure you realized there would be some criticism. Try not to take it too much to heart, you don't need the stress. Plus, telling someone with an addiction that they should quit, shaming them, and lecturing them isn't going to do anything to help. Good luck Miley. There is no gaurantee everything will be perfect whether you smoke or not. Just try to relax and take care of yourself and dont stress. My mom smoked with both,my brother and I, and we had bo complications, we have no breathing problems, and have had no adverse health effects.
