The comment "if your child's health isn't enough motivation then.. no comment" was rude and implying that's all she should need and I was simply saying that's not the case at all and something like that would surely make someone feel pretty awful for having a hard time quitting and that's pretty inconsiderate.

The person who asked the question ASKED if it would leave any long.term effects on the baby all haley did was answer what effects can happen if u smoke when pregnant i dont think haley was being rude at all in her answer and then @sammy u say she was never truly an addict because she was able to quit when she found out she was pregnant? Not true AT ALL my mom quit drugs when pregnant with me just as ive also quit smoking cigarettes weed and anything else well being pregnant yes some people have a harder time than others quitting and i dont think anyone here is putting them down for having a hard time quitting because i know it can be a huge struggle but i dont think u have a right to say that if u were able to quit cold turkey u were never really an addict cause u dont know everyones situation and thats not for u to say or assume about anyone.

Some ppl don't get that though they rather shun you and make u feel guilty for w,e reason sometimes some ppl don't even think before they speak. Trying to give you facts when the fact is everyone is different and weather she smokes or not she trying to quit and last time I checked this wasn't a judgment app I commend her!

Lol its the complete honest truth. Everything in pregnancy is when benefit out weighs risk. Stress is a huge factor in miscarriage.  Smoking is not. My cousin has two miscarriages doing everything by the book, quit smoking cold turkey, completely cut out caffeine etc. When she got pregnant the third time she listened to her Dr's when they said everything in moderation.  She cut down smoking, but did not quit and stress herself out, had one bottle of Pepsi a day, she now has two perfectly healthy baby boys. I had ankle surgery in the beginning of my pregnancy not knowing I was pregnant,  my biggest fear was the amount of pain killers I was on. My doctors said not only would I be fine but to keep taking them as needed because my body could not deal with that pain and my baby could not handle the stress. Stress raises your heart rate, blood pressure,  your eating havits, sleeping habits etc. So do whatever works for you personally and don't let anyone tell you how you should be doing it
