So, I quit smoking

For good this time. I quit when I found out I was pregnant, for about a year altogether, but started up again when Evie was around 3 months. Recently I realised I was smoking around 5-10 a day which doesn't seem a lot but it's crept up from 1 or 2 on a night out to 1 in the evenings to several a day. So last week I decided to stop. And I did 😄 It's only been a week today but I'm not using any nicotine replacement therapy or whatever it's called. Here's hoping I can keep it up, eh? 😄

What is it with people and smoking?

I find the whole "ordeal" retarded. It's like a fat person engorging themselves while saying they want to lose lots of weight.

However, on the same note, a fat person that says that they want to lose weight AND THEN THEY DO IT, I have lots of respect for those types and I tell them stuff like "good job" or "good work". 😄

Well the first step to quitting a habit or addiction like smoking is not to have a last smoke before you quit.

try the Patches, if they worked on my grandma after smoking for 50 years, they will work on anyone. now she has cancer in her lungs and is on oxygen 24/7. not gonna be around much longer.

quit while you are young

Keep it up, babe. You can do it!

Glad you quit, keep living.

glad for you kerry

Do it for yourself, but also, now for your child. 🙂

my step-mom died from cancer this year after smoking all her life. unfortunately had to leave her 14 yr old daughter, my sister.

yes! take DOWN those tobacco company bastards. one quitter at a time.

Weed

i quit, then i started again.

quitting sets a bad example for your kid.

I've never actually been addicted. Although I smoke. I haven't had one recently in over 3 weeks because I'm living at my cousins house in the middle of BFE. But I'm not craving anything. Just replacing It I guess with CoD and WoW....

continued success 🙂

Also if your parents are smokers the child is likely to become a smoker later down his life as well. So um, yeah it was stupid to start and it's stupid not to stop as soon as possible.

For example, my other half's mum and dad dont smoke, and as far as I'm aware they never have, yet he is a current smoker and both his sisters were smokers before they got pregnant.

Furthermore a large percentage of my family on my mother's side are/have been smokers, as are a few on my dad's side, including my dad, and neither me nor my three sisters have ever smoked.

Tbh, I wouldn't say that's necessarily true.
