How to quit smoking during pregnancy

I remember reading a post a couple of days ago from someone who wanted to stop smoking during a pregnancy.

I read an article on that and wanted to share what I read.

The article said that drinking a glass of milk or eating dairy products or eating fresh fruits and raw vegetables or drinking fresh fruit juice made the cigarettes taste bad and would help deter people from smoking.


I think if you made it a point to drink or eat some of these just before you smoke, it might help you make up your mind not to smoke at all.

Here's a recipe for a decoction that could help also. Take two teaspoons of coriander seeds in a glass or water. Boil the water with the seeds till it is reduced to half the quantity. strain it and drink this decoction when you crave a smoke, before you smoke. You could also use Ajwain seeds along with the coriander seeds.


Every time you feel like smoking, consciously take up another activity that occupies you physically and mentally like a craft or crochet or origami or knitting a complex pattern. Maybe if you get involved in doing something else, you won't need the cigarette.

I don't smoke, and didn't at any point in time, so I won't be able to give you first hand tips on what will help. But try all of this (its mostly from de-addiction articles) and tell me if anything works!


Good Luck!
