My wife, Jessica was in the final stages of her pregnancy and she could not even stand the smell of smoke on me while she was pregnant.
She was concerned about the smoking when our son was born. My wife was a big supporter of me and she encouraged me a lot which made it easier for me to quit smoking.
I didn't want to come into the new year as a smoker and so I set a date for myself. I used one full week of patches because you only get seven in a box, so everyday I would put on a new patch and when that box was gone then I was done. No more nicotine, and that was it. I have been smoke-free since December of 2015.
