What are good ways to quit smoking?

I’m 28 almost 29 weeks pregnant and I haven’t gotten the courage to quit smoking till now. I know I should have quit before this but everything has been stressful for me. So what are some good ways to quit? Any input would be nice and please no rude comments I get those enough from my family.

  1. There aren’t really many options at this point ya know. I had the same problem..When I was first pregnant I stopped smoking menthols and went to regular lights, I only smoked outside. Absolutely no smoking inside.. and no smoking in the car (which can be really hard), then I went even further and started to roll my own cigarettes. It was a big nuisance and annoying.. which in turn made me smoke less. It’s a start though..try that and see where it gets you and if you haven’t quit by the time the baby gets here then you quit the day you go to the hospital to have it. When you leave that hospital w/ that baby never pick up another cig again.. you will have had a couple days to get the nicotine out of your system by then.

    Good luck!

  2. Best way is cold turkey. I smoke too and I knw how hard it was to quit when I was pregnant. I did it that way. It worked until after he was born. Best of luck and yes, it will be hard, just try to find a good support system.

  3. Sunflower seeds !!
    And quitting gradually, Before i found out i was pregnant i probably only smoked about 5 -6 cigs a day, so when i found out i was pregnant quitting cold turkey was wayyy easy to do , especially with a future little one motivating me.

  4. You should definitely speak to your doctor about this on whether you can use some sort of patches or gum or something im sure your doctor would be more than happy to help you kick the habit for your little one.

  5. The only way to do it is to just quit. Put them down and never pick them up again. I worked at a Dr’s office for 6 years and this is the only way I have ever known anyone to do it. My Grandfather, mom, and husband all quit the same way. Cutting back doesn’t usually work. You have to be committed and ready to do it, or it won’t work either. You have to be willing to stop making excuses (like stress for instance) and just do it. Don’t buy anymore, don’t have them around you. You are right you should have already quit, but late is better than never.

  6. Are you talking about cigarettes? There are many ways to stop smoking such as patches and stuff, but I’ve heard that to completely stop smoking while your pregnant isn’t really good for you or the baby because the stress. You should have a cigarette every once in a while.

  7. First of all thats a discusting habbit,
