I tried to quit smoking when I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks but it wasn’t successful as I felt my mindset was wrong, I kept focusing how “how not to smoke” instead of “not thinking about smoking at all”, when you’re constantly thinking of “how not to smoke”, you’re actually reminding yourself to smoke I felt. So when I just entirely forget/not think about smoking, I managed to quit since 5th week of my pregnancy.
