Yes, but not as your primary reason, and not as the weight you carry every time the craving fires. Quitting for your children is a powerful initiator. It is a poor sustainer.

You quit anyway because cessation that depends on spousal support is cessation that the spouse can inadvertently veto. The method has to work in the environment you actually have.

Because family is the highest-density emotional cue environment in your life, and emotional cues are the smoking circuit's most powerful triggers.

Specifically, once, before day one, with concrete requests rather than a general appeal for support that leaves the other person guessing what support actually means.

Yes. Immediately, completely, and without waiting for a less stressful moment. Pregnancy is the single most time-sensitive cessation situation that exists.

Yes, when the support is specific and behavioral. No, when it is general, monitoring-based, or enthusiasm-driven. The type of support matters more than its presence.

Through immediate, specific behavioral changes that reduce exposure now, not after quitting, not gradually, but today, regardless of where the quit attempt stands.
