my girlfriend did cut back on how much she smokes but she cant just up and quit its not that easy...
and saying shes an unfit mother and doesnt deserve a kid because of it, give me a fucking break, if thats how you feel because of a cigarette then you better go after mothers who are alot worse then that...

You might want to re-attach your balls sand slap some sense into your gf. If you let her smoke while having your kid, you are as irresponsible as she is.

Cigarettes hurt babies
Tobacco use during pregnancy reduces the growth of babies during pregnancy. These smaller babies may not catch up in growth after birth, and the risks of infant illness, disability, and death are increased.
Medical Facts
Smoking mothers give birth to infants who weigh about 150 grams less at term than nonsmokers, and have a 140% increase in risk of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). A clear dose-response relationship exists between number of cigarettes smoked during pregnancy and the deficit in fetal growth.
IUGR infants have a higher risk of neonatal hypoglycemia and hypercalcemia, neonatal and postneonatal death, and mild deficits in long-term growth and neurocognitive development.
