You could also try a vaporizor, my mom has smoked since she was about 13 and is now 37 and trying to quit and its hard but she got a vaporizor called BlowOne and the flavored liquids have no nicotine and she hasnt smoked for 1 week. Just a thought :)

^^^ these ladies are correct. If we can do it you can do it. That's the good thing about this app you have a support team for anytime you want a smoke we'll tell you no. Just be strong.

And don't let your husband smoke around you.  He needs to be with you on this. Second hand smoke is bad too. If not worse.

Just focus on what's important to you. I quit at about 6 weeks or so maybe 5 and it took me a week or two and it was hard but once I got through it it just got easier and easier. I just focused on what I want. And that was a healthy baby and a healthier me. There's no magic trick to make you stop smoking. It's called determination. And if you're determined you will stop smoking.no one is forcing you to pick up a cig and smoke it. It's all up to you.

Honestly I think your best bet is cold turkey and if your husband won't do it to make him smoke outside. Its hard I know. I quit with my first the day I found out and haven't smoked since its been 6 years best decision ever. Even both my parents after over 20 years of smoking quit cold turkey my dad can't even stand the smell anymore it grosses him out. And my mom would just go cold turkey with all her pregnancies. Its super hard but worth it if you can get past the first 2 weeks but your husband has to help by going outside and not doing it around you
