I am pregnant and recently decided that termination was not an option for me (unplanned pregnancy, recently a single parent)

I have tried to quit before but often use stress/emotions as an excuse and also struggle to stay stopped once I am stopped.

I have already cut down and have the inhalators, mouths pray, lozenges and gum (allergic to the patches/skin irritations dizziness etc.)

I have also stocked up on sugar free gum that doesn't contain nicotine and am down to my last few cigarettes (will give them and all smoking paraphernalia to a neighbour who smokes, whatever's left over).

Anyway, any other tips? I know it's the best thing for this baby and now I've decided I am definitely going through with the pregnancy I know it's the right thing to quit. However, I am going through a lot of stress at the moment and worry if I don't deal with that I may lapse.

I want to give up for good. Not just for the pregnancy etc. But FOREVER. What can I do to make sure this is my last quit?

And what helped you quit?

I have previously stopped and started so much I just don't know how to make this stick.

I hate the smell and cost and everything and just want the cigs gone for good.

Tia. Xx

Struggling with cravings and had already cut right down.

Any tips?

I am trying to think about the positives and the pregnancy etc. As well as the kids I already have, smell and cost.

Have you got the smoke free app? That's really motivating
