Melissa thank you. I thought I was really going to take a lot of heat
for smoking but I was wrong. I am going to cut down to 10 a day and
then go from there. Im also going to check into hypnotherapy but I dont
know if that is okay to do while you are pregnant. I know biofeed back
isnt from what I have been told.
