Whats the best @ fastest way to quit smoking specially that am pregnant? -
I am not aware of any risks to ceasing smoking...lots of withdrawal symptoms, but risks....not really....
quickest way to quit....stop smoking...put out the cigarette and that-s it....
It-s typically called -cold turkey-.....
It takes about 3 days to get the immediate drugs out of the system...but there are tars in cigarette smoking that last about a year to get out...
There are some gentler ways to quit..and these include and are not limited to-
Nicotine gum
group therapy
hypnosis
pills like Welbutran, chantix
the gum, I believe you can get over the counter now....pills need a Doctors -script...group therapy, well, you have to find a -non- smoking- or a group of people quiting...
Best places to find those are the Seventh-day Adventist church [they actually have stop smoking clinics], the American Lung Association and the American Heart Association [find these guys in the phne book.]
Hypnosis may work, but is not a -cure all- and you have to want to quit...but my experience has been that it-s a good way to part with $400...it-s good for the hypnosis guy, not for you....but once in a while, I see a pt who praises some hypnosis clinic...not to often, but once in a rare blue moon
always have some candies(not too sweet) with you. And whenever you feel like smoking, think about your baby and how it will get badly affected by your smoking....
talk to your doc. there are risks associated with almost every stop smoking drug in as far as pregnancy goes. the risks are too great to take the advice of somebody off this site. with any drug you take at this time, they can be transmitted over the placenta to the baby so it is best to get medical advice from somebodyt that knows exactly where you stand in this pregnancy.
Visualize with every puff you take that your precious unborn baby is also inhaling the smoke and poisoning its body. I didn-t smoke during both my pregnancies. It-s a time when your baby-s health takes priority over your puffs on cigarettes. Good luck. I know it-s tough but you can do it for the sake of delivering a healthy baby.
People use Nicorette gum and patches. I don-t know if pregnant women can use those. I found another way to quit. 1) I really wanted to quit. 2) I bought bags of candy. 3) Whenever I wanted to smoke, I reached for the candy instead.
You should definitely talk to your doctor about this. It is best to not smoke but there are also the risks of using the stop smoking drugs. But as well if you go cold turkey your body might react with stress and the isn-t good either. DEFINITELY speak with your doctor about this! :) Good Luck to you!
think how you are killing your child! harsh but true!
you have to be aware about yourself... first of all think about your child which is your future.. you can surely quit for its well being... all the best.
the day i found out i was pregnant i smoked the rest of my box and didnt smoke again just do it with will power think of your baby its not as hard as it sounds wen youre pregnant beacuse youre doing it for somebody else GOOD LUCK
