Have you tried chewing gum? I don't smoke so I don't know how hard it is to quit, but I do know that my grandmother lost twin boys shortly after they were born b/c she smoked through the whole pregnancy. Believe me, I'm not judging you so don't think that. But maybe you could try to use the thought that you could really be hurting your baby as motivation not to smoke? I mean, you wouldn't let anyone or anything else hurt your baby, would you? So maybe if you thought of the cigarette as hurting your baby, you wouldn't want to light it? Kind of like a visual therapy type of thing? I don't know....I do hope that you are able to quit though. I wish you lots of luck and self control. God bless you and your little one.
