Many ways
Tapering off cigarettes over the course of a week or two is probably the best way.

Nicotine replacement was once considered contraindicated in pregnancy, but this is no longer the case. Use of nicotine patches, lozenges, gum and other forms can be helpful. Your OB providers office probably has access to quit programs for pregnant women. Keep trying and good luck!

Fertility Medicine
In brief:
Just say no
From speaking to many many patients, the best way to stop smoking is "cold turkey".
Don't say in two days or just this last pack! just make up your mind and just stop. Ear acupuncture has been found to be helpful in helping to stop also.
