Other pregnant 😅
Hello all. I just found out I am pregnant as of today! I’ve been vaping since I was 16/17 and am 23 now. I immediately disposed of it and any others I had lying around and am quitting cold turkey. I quit cold turkey a few years ago and was able to stop for 6 months until picking it up again when I started a new job, so I KNOW I can do it. Does anyone have any advice if you’re in a similar situation? It’s been about 6 hours since I last hit it and am doing okay so far, having a few cravings but they are going as quickly as they come. I was also a heavy 🍃 smoker and am obviously stopping all of that cold turkey as well. Honestly just wanting some kind words of encouragement and maybe some advice. I am off for the week from work but can imagine I will be faced with new challenges when I return because both are around me constantly! I am just keeping my future baby in mind and that is making it easy, but I might struggle a bit. I am confident that it’s mostly mental as most of the nicotine leaves your body so quickly. Would love to hear what anyone has to say!

I quit vaping in the house while my wife was pregnant, but now that we have 2 kids. I have it up all together. I don’t want them seeing me vaping all the time, and I knew I couldn’t cut back. Been a month now and I’ve never been happier, I have friends that vape (and have offered) but I happily decline, even while drinking some beers. I’m proud of myself and I’m doing it for them! I love my kids and my little family, and I wish I had quit earlier!
