Cigarette: it is easier to stop before being pregnant

A woman who smokes knows that it is toxic for it. However it is not always sufficient to push it to stop. A very frequent motivation of the young women is the health of their future child. “The day when I will be pregnant, think they, I will stop smoking”.
However, it is perhaps a bad idea.

Tobacco and nicotine
To manage to have in blood the same quantity of nicotine, the women need to smoke more cigarettes than the men. Their metabolism is indeed accelerated, i.e. their body eliminates nicotine more quickly. It is very negative because the more one smokes of cigarettes and the more one poisons oneself with carbon monoxide and the tar.

Twice harder during the pregnancy
The problem worsens when it is known that the contraceptive pill still accelerates the metabolism. It is thus more difficult to stop smoking under pill. And the pregnancy, it, has an effect even more powerful: the metabolism is accelerated of 60%.
To preserve the same blood nicotine rate that for a pregnancy, it would thus be necessary which a woman smokes almost twice as much as before its pregnancy! However, it is the moment when them doctor urges to them to stop and where they very often are very justified. Unfortunately, an expectant mother has much more difficulties in stop smoking, or to decrease that a nonpregnant woman without hormonal contraception.
These changes in the elimination of nicotine are due to the hormones estrogenes.

Which is the best moment?
Then, which is the best moment to stop smoking and succeeding in being held to with it? It is not during the pregnancy, because it is very difficult and that implies an enormous effort. It is thus before being pregnant! In the worst case, it is at the very last time when you wish a child and that you decide to stop your contraception. It is a good period because the child not being yet present, you are not likely to make him of evil, and because your estrogenes not being very high, you will have more facility to stop and also because without tobacco, you are definitely more fertile… The reasons do not miss.

And if you really do not arrive there, there remains to you still the menopause: at this period of the life, the estrogenes strongly decreasing, the metabolism of nicotine slows down and you can more easily decrease your number of daily cigarettes. But nevertheless, it is damage to wait also a long time not?
