OK but stop ASAP!: I can't believe your GP said it's fine! It's SO wrong you might seek a new Dr.! Smoking increases risk of miscarriage, low birth weight, premature delivery etc.- see https://tinyurl.com/yamct9ef There are many ways to stop; please stop ASAP.One method- get organic tobacco and mix 50-50 with an herbal smoking blend, then gradually reduce % of tobacco.For other ideas see https://women.smokefree.gov/
