i dont want to smoke while preggers

I just found out im pregnant. I know that smoking is bad for the baby and I would never want to intoxicate my child so I am looking for a way to kick this nasty habit. Help if anyone out there has been in my position what did you do to quit?

I just threw away my cigarettes and decided I was done as soon as I found out. I felt like it was more stressful to keep smoking than to not. all I could think is that it might be hard for me to quit because of withdrawals but it would be harder to know my baby is going thru withdrawals at birth.

Hypnosis, specifically a no-smoking program that used hypnosis, worked for my sister-in-law.  It was done by a psychiatrist.
