hi there. take a deep breath and realize this is the most difficult thing you will ever do and you can do it. i am 50 years old and smoked forever. almost 35 years..... not anymore. my mom smoked when she was pregnant with me - they knew very little in those days and even though we know more now...i am fine - was fine - had a healthy childhood - the cigarettes did not damage me. you are a good mom. it takes willpower - strength - a lot of tears - coming to this site often...reminding yourself why you are doing this. good luck...
p.s. i lost my job on february 28th and it's the first time since i am 15 that i am unemployed. i have really wanted a cigarette these past few weeks more than i did a few months ago. all the triggers came down...stress, panic, fear, and of course..what did i always reach for? so this test has been a big one for sure - but i have not caved in and neither will you. we are all here behind you. NotOnePuffEver (again) :)

thank you for all of your support - good luck to everyone on here - keep trying to those who are struggling - and 'way to go' for those on the road and never looking back.
i am 53 and smoked for 25+ years. i promised myself that the 50's would not contain cigarette smoke and they haven't and won't.
