1st Trimester

E cigs

So I'm 7 wks 3 days and trying my hardest to quit smoking. It's been harder with this pregnancy than my first two. My doctor said she didn't want me to quit cold turkey but to wean myself off. I went from 1/2 a pack a day to about 4 a day. But it's that last four a day I'm having a hard time kicking. I got an e cig and do one or two puffs off of that when I'm having a craving. Hopefully I can slowly wean myself off nicotine. Anyone else use the e cigs? Is it as harmful as cigs are. Ugh quitting is so hard this time around

Re: E cigs

  • They are dangerous, just like cigarettes. I quit cold turkey the day I got my BFP, and yeah, its hard, but you need to do what is best for your LO. Stop buying cigarettes. Something that helped me was to brush my teeth every time I had a craving.

  • E cigs are designed to get the smoker the nicotine fix that they need. This is not good for baby. Talk to your physician about tips/healthy alternatives to help you quit if needed. Bottom line, DONT SMOKE.

  • what I don't understand is why you are able to stop for 9 mths 2-3 times but you start back up.  I mean the hazards to you are horrible whether you are pregnant or not and I am guessing if you smoke more then a 1/2 pack a day you are smoking aro
  • NO cigarette is good period. I used to smoke and quit cold turkey about 3 years ago. I did smoke a few while planning my wedding because my dad is like Hitler. But it is mostly a will power thing.

  • I think these sites can be a breeding ground for lots of judgement. To the original poster, I am sorry that you are having such a hard time quitting, I would take the advice of your doctor and just take it one day at a time. You obviously have the desire

    I was a smoker with my first pregnancy. I didn't find out I was pregnant until 8 weeks, and had smoked maybe 1/2-1 pack per day. The day I got the positive test, I went outside, smoked like 3 cigarettes to collect myself, and commi

  • And I don't think e-cigs would be much different as it applies to the effects on the baby.

  • E Cigs are not safe for a baby.  I quit smoking cigarettes 2 years ago and have used an E Cig since.  Well, until I got my BFP.  I loved the E Cig and felt healthier than I did when I smoked real cigarettes, but you have to do what you have

  • Agreed!  It is absolutly selfish to keep up the nasty habit knowing the effects it will have on your baby just for your own comfort.  Woman up and just don't smoke!
