smoking

[amylouise267]

okay so my friend is 24wks pregs and i caught her out smoking, she said she only has one every few days, maybe 5 or so a week. i told her its still not good, but she says she can't quit completely.. i am currently 21+4 myself and quit   about 3months ago to keep risks down.
but how bad is a few a week really? :/

I'm the same way gatorgrl12 smokers will not be allowed around my baby I don't even want to chance my baby inhaling it.

It's almost like the struggle is just SO hard that its not worth my baby's life. Are you kidding me people? What bothers me most is people who think because they keep getting away healthy that its okay to do. Yes, let's basically teach our kids that it doesn't matter if something can kill you, if you don't die the first time, you can do it again! Aghhh... Blood boiling. How does it make any scientific or even common sense to say "no, something that causes cancer and death is not proven to hurt my baby during pregnancy" does that even make sense? How could it not? Lord ladies we can't even drink a bunch of caffeine while pregnant! Of course smoking isn't okay!

my husband suffers from depression, he doesn't smoke.. I have went through some of the worst stress a person can go through, I've had a ROUGH few years... I don't think that's an excuse, there are healthy ways to handle stress, I think it's great that you're trying to quit, I really hope you can, everyone deserves a long healthy life.

I do not smoke nor will I allow someone who smokes around my unborn child and children.
I have family members who gave it up to be in my children's lives.
If you smell like an ash tray your not going to be invited in my home.
Its a life choice your making and I will not let it second handily affect my children or myself.

so youre saying its safer to smoke while pregnant than not? everyone has everyday ********, i know i do, but i handle it, never had a cigarette in my life. i have more respect for myself and children than that to die prematurely. your comparing apples and oranges from hair dye and cigarette smoke inhalation.
