Wow.
Obviously feelings are strong on this. But I am gobsmaked by the poster who claims to have been ADVISED not to quit!!! Really?!?! I find that incredibly difficult to believe.
And stating she doesn't do drugs? Errr, nicotine is a flamming drug. Did you not know that?
And what are smokers supposed to do when standing next to a non-smoker? How about move away, seeing as they are the ones polluting the air for everyone else!
I don't give a monkeys if other people want to pollute their own lungs. If they want to fill their body with carcinogens, go ahead. It IS very selfish to inflict cancer causing compounds on those who have chosen not to. The poor unborn baby is flooded with nicotine. They can be born addicted. They have a reduced blood flow, diminished oxygen supply and lower birth weights. Generally, of course. Yes, we all know of exceptions. The stats still speak for themselves...on the whole, babies of smokers are less healthy. If you're happy with that - it's your choice.
