Anyone smoking still???

Duffy6684 · Apr 13th, 2009, 10:54 AM

Yes im a very bad person and i hate myself for doing it but i am still smoking. I've cut down from 20 a day to 5/6 a day but i just can't stop. I've tried the patches and it didnt work, i've tried the chewing gum but it' disgusting. I feel like a horrible mother still smoking with my unborn baby taking in what im inhaling.

I'm running out of options to try and stop. Has anyone managed to stop using any other methods? or is there some of you still smoking?

i used the nicorette inhalers and i found them by far better than anything else i managed to give up from 20 a day and i also got someone else to give up with me which def helped as it turned it in to a competiton and i always said to myself im just gna go today without having a fag then maybe il have one tomorrow then the next day id say the same thing and i never had one and i found that helped asbefore iv said to myself im giving up forever and panicked and smoked again dont beat urself up over the few u have had congratulate urself on the ones u havn't good luck hun its tough but u will thank urself for at least trying to give up rather than carrying on and not even trying

Hi,
You can use the inhalator in conjunction with the patch. Your patch will give you a constant supply of nicotine, and then you can just use your inhalator 'as and when' you get a bad craving, to give you an extra boost. Even if you use the patch and inhalator together, you won't be taking in as much nicotine as you are doing by smoking, so it's all good.
Do you have an NHS Stop Smoking Service where you live? You could give them a ring. They have trained advisors who can give you loads of help and advice. Some services have advisors who deal specifically with pregnant ladies too...
I hope that helps. Good luck xxx
