Maybe the biggest factor a mom-to-be should take into consideration is the possibility that her child is at risk of acquiring diseases when exposed to the harmful substances contained in each puff of the cigarette.



It is not really new to anyone that smoking has its own grave dangers that could harm even the most unsuspecting victims and yes, that includes the unborn child in her womb. And the danger is not exclusive to the unborn children; it also affects the newborn babies.



But even with all our knowledge on the health risks of smoking and the ways by which it could be stopped, there is still a lot of trouble women face when wanting to quit.



Pregnant moms have more need of quitting the habit since unlike men and women who bear no one in their wombs; pregnant women would not only put their lives in the line but also make the young soul too vulnerable to all sorts of unimaginable consequences.



But quitting is never easy and with pregnant women who bear the stresses of childbearing, finds that smoking cessation extremely challenging in comparison to the experiences of other people. However, there are so much at risk when a mom-to-be never stops smoking and there great rewards when the habit is kicked off.



Here are but some of the risks of smoking during pregnancy that mothers should be pondering over:



When the smoke reaches the placenta, its content would contaminate this sac which could in turn deprive the baby of appropriate nutrients and oxygen. These are vital in the normal and healthy development of the baby within.



There are increased rates in abnormalities seen in babies whose mothers are smokers. There is marked increase in these rates as the degree of addiction increases in the smoker.



Low birth weight is likely to occur to babies of smoking mothers. Because of this, such babies are likely to become extremely ill, more prone to diseases and disorders, and are more prone to death during the first year.



A baby of a smoker mom would possibly die due to SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.



Now you know some of the threats to the health of the child, you now have more reasons to help a pregnant woman to quit the smoking habit. So that leads us to the first step into helping this mother and that is "encouragement".



It must start with something that will motivate her to break off the habit easily and informing her of what could be the effects t the child would appeal to her emotions and her instincts a mother. A mother should protect her child and that is one thing you must impress on her. She must never cause harm against her own child, and that's the second thing you should make her remember.



Smoking pregnant women are exceptional since most mothers, regardless if she wants it or not, have the common perception that she must do all possible things just to make her child healthier. But possibly, just possibly, pregnant women who smoke may not know so much about the risks against smoking. But informing a pregnant woman you know might open her into the realities that she is acting upon on her and on her child.



But this doesn't step on the encouragement phase, you must be able to drive her into really quitting and staying quit even after she gave birth. Continuous support must be observed since this is one thing she would need once her prime reason for stopping has gone- that is bearing the child.



Some women cannot do it alone, especially when strong urges to relapse call on them. But you, as the guide, should never falter on your support. Give her substantial guidance which could help ensure that she and her child are kept from the hazardous effects of cigarette or tobacco smoking.



The next step into helping a pregnant woman quit smoking is to provide her with all the resources she might need or at least provide her with information on the resources. For example, help her find the physician or stop smoking program that would help a lot with her smoking cessation or accompany her in shops which sell effective stop smoking devices and products.



These three steps, if followed, would contribute a great deal when wanting to help a pregnant woman quit her smoking habit.

If you're reading this, chances are you are at least thinking about giving up smoking. That's the first step. And let's be clear - it's a reasonable place to start. You won't quit smoking unless, or maybe until, you make the decision. So, step two is deciding. This is harder than step one, but even more important. The final step is the actual act of quitting. Undoubtedly the most difficult of the 3 steps.



Let's look at each of the three steps in more detail.



Don't discount the importance of thinking about stopping the smoking habit. The problem with smoking is that it has become a habit, maybe even a comforting habit. So giving it up is not an easy thing to do. You have to prepare your subconscious for the change that you are contemplating. The way to do this is in very small bits.



Spend some time thinking about maybe smoking less, before you introduce the idea of completely quitting. This will get your subconscious used to the idea of cutting down on tobacco. Now you may be thinking that this sounds kind of crazy. But along with the physical addiction to nicotine, your mind has also become used to the habit of smoking because you do it so often.



Next, start thinking about some of the negative effects that smoking has on your body. Even look at pictures of diseased lungs, or imagine yourself dragging an oxygen tank along with you as you struggle to breathe. After awhile, your subconscious will begin to accept the idea that smoking is bad for you. Once this happens you have a strong ally working with you in your quest to quit smoking.



Somewhere along the thinking process, smoking will become less appealing. At this point, you will start thinking that maybe you should try to quit smoking. This is decision time. You'll probably do a lot of wrestling with the idea before you are ready to actually make the decision to quit smoking. You'll go back and forth between yes, I am going to do it, to well I'm not sure if I am really ready, or maybe I'll try next week or next month. This is natural.



Although some people talk about how they just up and quit one day, it really doesn't happen often that way. They too went through the process we have been talking about, they maybe just weren't consciously aware of doing it. Awareness is another weapon for you to use in your battle to quit smoking.



Give yourself lots of time. Don't commit to the decision until you are firm in your resolve to quit. Because if you wait until you are truly ready, your chance of success increases.



Which brings us to the final step - quitting. A daunting process without a doubt. But you have arrived here well prepared to stop smoking. Now you just need to decide on how you want to do it. Strategies range from cold turkey to medical assistance. There is no right or wrong way to stop smoking. You may even fail a time or three, but don't let that stop you from trying. Just remember, quitting is a journey. The destination is a smoke free life.
