quit smoking??

Here Nika, you might find this quiz useful Just found it It matches your current smoking habits with the right quitting method

I have never put a ciggy to my lips, so I personally have no idea how hard it would be to stop, but I have supported friends through quitting, so I am here for you:)

My friend hasn't smoked in 11 years, but still craves Cloves.

I am so glad the quiz was informational for you I would totally speak with you M.D. to get some support

Nika I smoke :oops: I know, I know, it's really bad when ttc!

I did quit In October 2006 for 9 months using patches and I can't recommend them enough, seriously they were great! The only reason I started again was due to all the stress of ttc! I plan on quitting again soon and will defo be using them again!

Nika, I just saw this. But I'm totally recommending Chantix to you! Especially if your insurance will cover part of it. It ended up costing us only $40/month for DH's meds. And he does smokeless tobacco, but its the same thing, you quit the same way. And you dont smoke the whole time. You start the pills while smoking and set a quit date 10 days away. You smoke and take the pills for the 10 days and on your quit date you don't smoke. And that's it...you continue the pills for a minimum of 3 months w/out smoking. DH has gone nearly two weeks now snuff-free and the medicine right now is costing us the same as his snuff was costing us per month so we're breaking even. PLUS, when he's done w/the meds, we'll be saving $40-$50/month! I know you want to quit and I totally support that! I can't stand to be around smokers (no offense) and won't even let K be around people who smoke, including my mom. I hated always smelling like smoke after being at her house and just the way she always smells. I really wish she would quit, but she wont so for now, K is not allowed in her house and I wont even let my mom hold her for really long periods of time or be in her car b/c the chemicals are still in her clothes and hair and stuff I dont think you're a bad person for smoking, everyone has their habits. But I do think it would be one of the BEST things you could do for Kaydance! She will totally love you for being a smoke-free mom when she's older

Nika, maybe you should stay off the forums for the day if you're going to be mean! lol!

Does your DF smoke too? The doctor told DH that it's never easy but your chances of quitting DOUBLE when someone quits WITH you. You know, if DF smokes, it's going to be hard for you NOT to. Just an idea!

You could try cutting down to two a day, then one? You can do this! Especially if you only smole 3 a day. I was thinking you would be smoking 20+ a day with that quiz result.

One person I know said when they quit, they didn't tell friends/family and just quit cold turkey. She felt no pressure that way.

I can quit spending with you

I'd recommend cutting down and weaning off. Maybe get one those 'electric cigerettes'?

As far as I know, they have literally come out. I heard it on the radio last week. They are about £50 ($100ish), but recharable and alsorts. Otherwise, you can buy the fake ones that are just for habit, rather than addicted to nicotine. Not sure if they have nicotine in? I know the electric ones do.

There are actually loads about...
