As long as we keep having mass shootings, the conversation about how we undervalue mental health will continue. While that is on the extreme, what people fail to do is focus on the everyday face that mental health puts. The intense focus on massacres caused by people known to have mental health issues leaves us vigilant on extremist online instead of looking at those closest to us for mental health issues.

What people fail to note is that an ICBC lawyer Vancouver expert might remain in bed for days due to depression. People who are undereducated on mental health might assume that the person is lazy or hates their job. The reality, however, is that they are overwhelmed and that the move to a foreign country only exacerbated the underlying mental illness. 

The reality in the US is that healthcare is too expensive for the average citizen. It is no surprise that alternative medicine has become the go-to solution for those suffering any physical condition. In as much as mental healthcare is a massive industry, the costs continue to keep people away from getting the treatment they need. The reason for the poor care of those with mental health also has to do with the amount of resources allocated to the illness. The funding is low and cannot cater to the mass need for services.

Smoking while pregnant is risky for your unborn baby. It can lead to problems such as low birth weight, and deformities. Even to the mother, it increases risks, with problems like ectopic pregnancies, which can be life-threatening. Unfortunately, quitting smoking can be hard for someone who is already addicted. Some pregnant women even turn to vaping, but this isn’t safe either. That’s because, when one vapes, they still take in nicotine and other harmful substances found in a cigarette. Quitting is the only safe way to go about it. To help you out, here are 5 tips to eliminating smoking from your life while pregnant.

1.    Avoid smokers

Like drinking, smokers tend to get the urge to smoke when around fellow smokers. To reduce this urge, stay away from your smoking buddies.  If possible, hang around people who abhor smoking, and in places where smoking is difficult. For instance, you can hang out with them in their houses, which are more like no smoking zones. If you make this a routine, you can make it through the pregnancy without smoking.

2.    Think about your unborn baby more often

Quitting smoking is not easy. In fact, it can lead to painful side effects that may hinder your daily life. To get over this pain, think of your unborn baby more often. Try and imagine all the bad things that could happen to your unborn baby when you smoke. For instance, your baby might be born deformed, with asthma, and even with a lower level of intelligence. You wouldn’t want any of these to happen to your baby, would you? Now use that as a motivator to keep going, even when the pain of quitting feels unbearable.
