I quit normal smoking the moment I found out im pregnant, but my friend said herbal ones are fine since no nicotine. Honestly i dont fully trust that and i'm scared to even try. Has anyone here used them while expecting?
Honestly no. Herbal ya normal, smoke matlab smoke. The smoke itself is the problem na, it reduces oxygen to baby. Please just leave it during these months, it's only few months.
When I asked my gynac about something similar she said the issue is mostly the burning and smoke, not just nicotine. Even herbal ones still produce smoke and carbon monoxide. She told me cut it out fully and if you are trying to quit a normal habit she can guide you better. Maybe ask urs the same.
Beta jab tak baby aata hai tab tak in cheezon se door rehna hi accha hai. Cravings ho to thoda saunf ya elaichi rakh lo muh mein, woh natural hai. But smoking koi bhi type ka, nahi.
I know quitting is hard if it was a habit, dont be too hard on yourself. But for now pls keep it away, even herbal type. If you are struggling to stop, tell your doctor, they wont judge you.
Pls dont risk it. My cousin had some issues and her gynac was very strict about anything that you inhale. Better talk to your doc once and tell her exactly what you are using.
