Quitting,

Has anybody got any really good tips for stopping smoking?
I have cut down from around 20 a day to 4 - 5 a day, and I have patches, but I always forget im wearing them and they are very harmful for the baby to smoke with one on. smoking makes me feel so bad because im pregnant, and it makes me gag with sickness everytime i do smoke. but still I crave one after it ! has anyone got any other tips that could help me out? x

  • I found it really hard to stop smoking but i found the things that the doctors gave me didnt help and can be bad for the baby. I just stopped taking everything all together because they still keep you adicted to nicotine. I haven't had one in over a month and every time i want one i have a snack like an apple or a pack of crisps, but some people have recomended getting hypotised.x

  • hi im tryin to stop smoking now im pregnant i smoked all the way through my first pregnancy and feel awful about it as she was poorly when she was born. This time i do not want to smoke at all but its so hard so ive wrote a list of reasons why ive stopped and another list of benefits of stoppin and keep them pinned up around the house so whenever i feel a craving i read my list and think of my baby xx but i do know how hard it is. x

  • @lauralicious and @Maisey I've never smoked but my mum got hypnotised and she stopped smoking for 16 years - apparently it's really helpful!!!! x
