Tomorrow is the Great American Smokeout – an occasion for smokers to kick the habit once and for all. But as many smokers know, it’s not that easy.
While smoking is one the hardest habits to break, for many women pregnancy is a powerful motivator, according to a recent WiserPregnancy survey.
The survey found that 41% of women who smoked quit the habit once they became pregnant. In comparison, only 3% quit before getting pregnant.
So how to quit?
With their baby’s health at risk, most women don’t opt for slow-moving remedies. The large majority of women (88%) quit cold turkey – and it works for most. In fact, two-thirds (66%) of women found it a highly effective way to quit.
