feel like the biggest piece of shit ever..

oh my gosh that is crazy!! I couldn't imagine lol. maybe I should move to NY 😂 then if be like "I'm not paying that much " lol

Cigs haven't been that cheap for me since I was 18 and I am 27 lol

Nys literally rapes you in taxes. That is one thing I hate about this state

Wow that's crazy. Here those are over $9. I smoked new ports and they are 10.16 a pck

my cigs (mavericks) are only like $5.70 give or take a few cents depending what store u go to .

@mandy890

True. You got it though. Think of the money you'll save. Not nearly what I do cause nys taxes on cigs are outrageous but it will deff add up. I was spending between 50-70 a week!!!

yes girl you got this!! I'm sending you all the good vibes!! it helps to have someone to motivate you!! let's get it together 💪

thank you 😊 @mandy890 and yeah I know its not bad to but for some reason I just decided when we ran out that I really don't need it nor need to be spending money on it. sooo I'm hoping this will be the same way. but cigs are addicting so I know its gonna br easier said than done probably. but I'm just gonna try my hardest.

It's honestly prolly better to smoke weed than cigs preg. There is so@many chemicals in cigs that aren't in mj. It's mind over matter. You can do it!!! It will be tough for a week but after about 2-3 days there is no more nicotine in your system so mind over matter!!!

@mandy890, thanks for the encouragement. I just told my bf once this pack is gone I'm truly just going to try cold turkey. (but will probably chew on nicorette gum at first to help) but I am going to stop buying cigarettes and hope for the best. saying this as I'm smoking one now 😣 but once they're gone then that's it. I used to smoke marijuana before I found out I was pregnant, I stopped right away.. not that there's anything proving it harms your baby.. but just because I felt bad about it.. so I told him I'm just going to try and think of it like that.. (I know weed isn't addicting) but I'm just gonna think "this is easy I don't need it" I'm hoping it goes ad smoothly as I'm planning it to lol but I know quitting smoking causes trouble at first with mood swings and the cravings and what not.. idk at this point im just going to really hold myself to it. I keep saying oh I'm gonna quit but keep putting it off and ignoring it and I just feel really bad about it.

I smoked for 12 years. I smoked half of my pregnancy with my first child. And this one once I had morning sickness I didn't want them anymore. They made me feel worse. I have been 7 months without and it was the best thing I did!!! You'll get there. Trust me I still have the cravings but the feeling of not smoking and the money in my wallet and a healthy baby are much Better!!!

I know exactly what you mean! we can do this. I think once this pack is gone I'm just gonna try and quit cold turkey... I mean its probably better than smoking anyways (the effects of quitting cold turkey vs cutting back) idk. I'm just gonna try and see how it goes.. @mamacodi_09n16

I've heard different things about it all but I think you should do whatever you think will be easiest! I had intended on quitting cold turkey but I was a complete monster and ended up having 2 all together yesterday but I hate depending on the shit 😳 it's so embarrassing.. I never do it in front of anyone.. I wish I could just never want one again.. I mean I don't want one but my body feels like it needs it I'm sure you know what I mean

Ive been contemplating quitting cold turkey.. something's telling me that'd be easier than cutting back.. idk what or why I'm thinking that but I feel If I just stop buying them then I'll drop it no problem. but a few people have told me quitting cold turkey can be bad when pregnant? @mamacodi_09n16

we can do this!!

I know how you feel.. I've never had troubles putting them down until now :( I recently cut back tremendously to 3 a day shared with my fiancé but it's making me feel awful.. and it's not like it's not addicting it's hard to just stop :/ try to cut back but don't stress too much since that's bad for baby too! I'm here if you ever wanna talk!

Keep cutting back. Or trying to. I know it sucks. It can be done.

I still haven't quit smoking and I think I'm smoking more and more . like half a pack+ . and I just feel like a horrible person... @mrs.rcleveland
