My dad quit by eating oranges every time he had a craving he would bite into one and stuck the juice out of it. He was a chain smoker too. He would go through a carten a day.

I would tell him that the baby shouldn't be around the smoke so he needs o go outside. By him smoking around you the baby gets secondhand smoke and could get asthma.

You should try eating sunflower seeds. When you crave to smoke pop some seeds in.

I'm have the same problem and I feel kind of hopeless... My fiancée isn't very supportive... He's excited for the baby but I can't talk to him about anything and he went even go outside to smoke. He didn't understand why him smoking around me makes it harder for me to quit...

I tried everything to quit smoking and finally did at 22 weeks.  im now 26w3d and its so nice to say i quit. I tried everything to quit and i guess after my ultrasound it hit me that i really needed to try n quit once n fer all not just fer a day or two. I ended up quiting cold turkey and asked for my husbands help. He smokes. I wouldnt have any lighters cigs or money to buy em around the house and picked up a new habit. Going on walks....im here fer u if u need someone to talk to. Thatll help. Best of luck to u!
