Most doctors won't say to quit cold turkey since it is a drug and you will go through withdrawal.. they usually just say try to smoke half a cigarette when you would normally smoke a whole one so if you smoke ten a day you only smoke 5 and try to cut it down each week. >__<
Quitting cold turkey can bring on withdrawal. The stress of withdrawal may not be ideal for babies, but it is usually far better than a cigarette would be. So doctors and health organizations usually recommend quitting cold turkey. Although exceptions may be made in the case of very heavy (more than a pack and a half a day) smokers, women in high especially high stress situations, or high risk pregnancies.
