Did you start smoking again after LO was born? I've had a couple ciggs, but I haven't bought a pack. It's been rough, but I'm going to try and stay smoke-free.
And I mean picked up the habit again, not had a cig or 2.
I didn't vote, because I don't consider myself a smoker again...yet. I'm in the same boat as you. I have one now and again, but am afraid I'll start back up again.
No I didn't. PP I only smoked when I drank anway. I am now on DH's asss to quit. He's been wearing a patch for the last week and is down from a pack to around 4-6 cigs a day. Hopefully, he just slowly weans himself off them!

I quit 5.5 years ago and so happy I did b/c with the stress of a new baby, I might have been tempted. DH mostly quit since DD was born. He has an occasional one.

I voted no, but I have had a few when I was out drinking a few weeks back. But none since then. Lets hope it stays that way! I can't afford to pick that habbit back up.
I am so proud of myself for quitting. I have only had one cigarette since I had my baby girl. I am in the same boat as a pp though, I think about it every.single.day!
I quit about 5 months before I got pregnant. I had one right after my miscarriage and none since. I find it repulsive now because the smell made me sick when I was pregnant.
1st pregnancy: m/c began 1/12/09 d&c 1/13/09 8wks. Baby stopped growing at about 6wks.
I never smoked heavily but I quit in December '08 and haven't looked back. Being pregnant made it easy and now I can't even imagine smelling like smoke then holding my daughter. I don't care how well you wash your hands and brush your teeth, it's still there when your holding and kissing your kid.
No, somehow I've managed not to pick it back up. Not even one tiny drag. But I think about it every single day.
Same here! Its been almost a year...why can't I be one of those people who despises it now? Sucks to think about it everyday!
Me too. If I wasn't BF, I'm sure I would have given in by now. There have been some days I've been this close to breaking down. I'm planning on BF for over a year so hopefully by then it will be better.

I quit Dec 08 (and have not had even a straggler since March 09) and I am so glad. The best thing I've ever done, and no plans to ever go back.
FWIW, I am really glad we passed a ban here b/c if I were sitting in a smoky bar I would be tempted.
GL to everyone...I hope you stick with it!
