It's really hard!! I tried for so long to quit this is my third baby and I've been smoking for 14 years and my mother smoked with me and i too was over 8lbs and both if my sisters smoked with theirs and they were all very healthy and i smoked with my two kids and my daughter was 7lbs 13oz my son was 8lbs 4oz! When i did quit though i baked ALOT!!! You just really have to find something else to do with yourself and your hands I'm not kidding about baking though in one day i baked 17 loaves of zucchini bread! The next day from sun up to sun down again i made 13 pumpkin rolls all from scratch! But i also ate a lot bcuz i baked everything! Brownies cookies muffins banana bread casseroles i just gave everything away to family that i didn't eat the only good thing about being pregnant i think is that you get to eat what you want so try this out or get some cross word puzzles or anything you like just keep busy to keep your mind off of it :)

I just weaned myself off. I made my last pack last a week then I stole a few (like 4) from my husband and smoked those the remaining week. And smoking my husbands made it so much easier BC I HATE my husbands cigarettes. I am a menthol smoker and he is a full flavor cowboy killer man. So it was much easier that way. Honestly I still can't wait til this baby is born BC I'm going to smoke me a nice long cigarette when she's finally here. I haven't lost the urge to smoke at all I just quit for my baby.
