i mean i know alot of reasons y i should quit but i want to see the reasons in writing (typing) so i can read the reasons everyday!!!  and it helps when i see the reasons come from other people!! so i figured who better for it to come from than you ladies!!

 Well I would say you should quit since you have possted about wanting to try and have another child.  Why would you subject your baby to those chemicals and possible health issues if you can control it.

 It stinks....

I am not (nor have I ever been) a smoker but my dad smoked while I was growing up. Now he smokes cigars and I HATE how everything stinks after we have been at my parents for a visit.  Even if we don't go in basement which is where he smokes we still smell when we leave.

 Good luck with the quiting! Your health is worth the hard work.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! We believe in you and you're not alone. I know SHELL3M is trying to quit smoking as are a few other ladies in this group! 

It smells bad

I don't like my ch ild being around people who smoke.

I think smoking is absolutely disgusting

your teeth get very bad from smoking

you dont' smell good when you smoke.

of course these are general yous! lol

You can do it!!! I did when we were trying for baby. I know you hear all the health stuff as I did constantly, yet it wasnt enough sadly. I must say I feel so good, I smell good and I have SO much extra money now. Hundreds of dollars every month. Already got two cc bills paid in full in 6 months...just from cig $. And girl, food and smells - its amazing the change. Do it do it do it!!! You can!!

[clintam]

You got this! You can do it!

[Jessiejack]

You can do it. Wrinkles on you hands and face. You don't want that. You can do it. I am not a smoker but will help in anyway I can. Keep us posted on how you are doing.

I smoked for several years and it wasn't until I got pregnant with my oldest that I was able to quit.  You definitely can do it!  I lost my dad 10 years ago to lung cancer.  My parents were happily married and just ready to retire when he got sick and died 9 months after he was diagnosed.  He died in my moms arms at home:(  Now that I see how much my mom is still affected 10 years later I am sooooo glad that I quit smoking.  Just think of your family and friends and how much it would affect them if you were gone.  You can reverse most of the damage that has been done to your lungs if you quit. 

I sound so horribly morbid, but that is my reason as to why you should quit:)  If you can get through what you've already been through in your life you can definitely, without a doubt, quit smoking.
