    What do you think when you see a pregnant woman smoking?

    It doesn't happen that often these days but earlier today I had a doctor's appointment and right outside the glass doors of the waiting area was this pregnant woman. She had on this pair of low riding track bottoms/jogging pants that made her bump stick out. Which is classy enough considering it is fricking cold in London today and we are in the middle of a wind storm. Then she starts puffing away on a ciggie. You could almost feel the hush in the waiting room as she was spotted.

    What do you think when you see a pregnant woman smoking? Should it be against the law to smoke when you are pregnant?

          It makes me sick to my stomach. I am not opposed to bring about legislation/laws that protect the unborn child. In fact I would support it 100%.

          Those who can speak sometimes need to speak for those who cannot.

                  A friend was told by a doctor that is better having one cigarrette a month then stop it completely during the pregnancy but i don't remember the medical explanation behind it. If that was her only cig that month that's fine, otherwise poor baby!

                      I am a hard smoker and I always critise banning of smoking as its every1s choise.
                      But this is different game - it should be banned for sure.Can't believe that some mothers do that.

                          It's my opinion, if the woman Sarah saw smoking was puffing on her 1 and only cig of the month, she would probably do it in the confines of her own home.
                          The woman in question was most likely nic fitting and prepared to smoke wherever she 'had' to.

                                  Honestly, I think "what a selfish self-serving idiot"

                                  That's what I think.

                                  I've even worked with a few nurses who had no compunction at all about puffing away while pregnant. You'd think they of all people would know better. Why bother having a child if you aren't committed to at least giving it as many advantages as possible instead of starting it off in life with all the health risks that come from smoking?

                                  Some people truly astound me, as does the level of idiocy that humans are capable of.

                                      Yeah and if you are going to smoke why would you pick right before you go into see the doctor to do it?

                                              It's the mother's body. It's the mother's choice.

                                              Granted, I, personally, feel that if she's having more than a cig a day, she should - maybe - be approached about the prospect of giving her child up for adoption when it's born... because I'm thinking she'll probably be an unfit mother...

                                              but it's still her call to be an ignorant fuck-twit, if she wants.

                                              If I saw an expectant mother chain-smoking, I might go as far as letting her know that verbally... but that's probably as far as I'd take it.

                                              Because, again, at the end of the day - it's her body... her choice.

                                                  True, that is the counter argument I have in my head. Though, in a country with a national health care system if the child ends up with associated complications it will be the public purse paying for her choice. Not to mention just generally wishing the baby well.

                                                                  Maybe that'll have the desired effect.

                                                                                  Don't start flaming and misreading what I just said...it's obviously a bad thing to do. But especially if it's the occasional cigarette --- I don't think it's as draconian as people here seem to believe (give them up for adoption? shoot the mother?).

                                                                                  I'd be much more concerned about the pregnant women who smoke pot while their babies' brains are forming, under the 420 community's assumption that "pot is a lot less dangerous than cigarettes."

Both her and her man were drunk as hell, both were smoking up a storm. They were laughing and joking and having a whooping good time at their unborn child's expense.

                                                                                          It was painfully obvious that anything anyone might have said to them would be wasted words met with blank, mindless, uncaring stares if not outright braindead sneering and swearing insults while defending their behavior.

                                                                                          Both were too drunk to even comprehend what anyone could say in the way of constuctive criticism.

                                                                                          Fucking idiots...

                                                                                                          I do not have any issues with smokers. If that is what they want to do so be it. BUT, when you willing accept the responsibility of having and raising a child, grow the fuck up, put all your petty shit aside and become a responsible parent!

                                                                                                          I fuck hate and spit on people that have no idea how to live up to the responsibilities that they willingly took upon themselves!

                                                                                                          But, hey! Society has become really good at allowing people to back out of life's little contracts (credit/loans, marriage, children, family matters, crime etc).

                                                                                                          Oh well. I guess there's too many mouths in the world to feed and that stupid cunt attitude helps shut a few.

These smaller babies may not catch up in growth after birth, and the risks of infant illness, disability, and death are increased.

                                                                                                                  Medical Facts

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.

I can't imagine trying to beat a years-long addiction while under the stress of being pregnant and getting the house ready for a newborn and taking maternity leave at work, etc. But it still does strike me as highly irresponsible to smoke or drink while pregnant. Hell, I wouldn't even walk into a smokey bar if I was pregnant (or at least that's what I say now.)

Many more harmful chemicals are in today's cigarettes.

If you think it's ok to inject carcinogens into a fetus, then go ahead. Most pregnant women quit cold turkey. Their mothering instincts kick in and overcome their physical and mental addiction to nicotine.

I certainly wouldn't have allowed them to blow smoke up my wife's vagina when she was pregnant.

                                                                                                                                              Don't light another fucking cigarette.

                                                                                                                                              See how simple that was? And if her body "needed time" to tell her not to smoke again, then I would think she would have taken care of that before she got pregnant.

                                                                                                                                              But let me guess- it was an unplanned pregnancy, right?

                                                                                                                                              I bet her ovaries probably needed time to tell her to go get some birth control.

I am not, but my girlfriend is pregnant and is a smoker, just because shes pregnant doesnt mean she can just up and stop smoking, it takes a while your body doesnt just say "hey baby, dont smoke anymore, no need for the cravings!"

                                                                                                                                                      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...

                                                                                                                                                      Until the baby's out of her, it's - biologically - defined as a parasite in her system, so she's free to do whatever she likes, imho.

                                                                                                                                                      However, if she's lighting up regularly, don't you think she's - by definition -putting her own 'desires' before the 'needs' of her child?

                                                                                                                                                      How would you qualify a mother that behaves in such a fashion, yourself?

Back in November I quit smoking pot (cold turkey) for the fuck of it! Over a decade ago I quit the horse & the great white lie.

                                                                                                                                                          The mind is a powerful tool, if you use it properly. Problem is everybody is fed these ultra pathetic excuses and they gladly use them!

                                                                                                                                                          Funny how people mention ""the old days" yet they easily forget that in the ""old days"" they exercised a thing called will power. I guess when some of the primordial ooze evolved they decided it (will power) was not worth retaining.

Otherwise, fuck it right proper: it's just a rock here and there. It's not like I am doing it ... always!

Drop for drop it is more lethal than strychnine or diamondback rattlesnake venom, and three times deadlier than arsenic. Just 2-3 drops on the skin (40-60mg) will kill a 160 pound human. The average smoker puts 1 mg of nicotine into their bloodstream with each cigarette. If the entire 1 mg was put on the skin of a 1 pound rat, the rat would die.

                                                                                                                                                                      Although you have probably long dreamed of someday ending your brain's chemical addiction upon nicotine, the sudden news of pregnancy and deep concern for the growing life inside can make it seem like you're being forced to quit. It can leave the " junkie mind" feeling deprived of someday quitting on its own terms. Instead of embracing the opportunity to live your own long held dream of quitting, far too many mothers-to-be quit only for the baby. Sadly, roughly half of all who quit during pregnancy relapse to smoking nicotine within hours, days or weeks of giving birth.

                                                                                                                                                                      Instead of beginning a wonderful nicotine-free life together, these new babies have an actively feeding drug addict for a mother. Instead of being greeted by sweet smelling kisses, these babies bond their love with sensing the arrival of the nasty smells and odors of the over 4,000 chemicals that were just sucked into their mother's mouth and deposited upon her face, hands and clothing. Forced to either breathe lingering clouds of toxins or watch their mother depart at least hourly to tend and care for her addiction, when it comes to fresh air or love these new babies live a constantly interrupted life."

Quitting for your unborn child all but assures nicotine relapse once you convince yourself that the greatest dangers have passed. By quitting for you, and allowing your baby to inherit the fruits of your decision, you set the stage to permanently arrest your dependency. Keep in mind that after giving birth most new mothers experience a brief period of minor sadness that may last up three weeks. What are the odds of you getting through this brief period without experiencing relapse if you failed to develop your own personal core recovery motivations and have no dreams or desires of your own to muster and rely upon?

                                                                                                                                                                      It is normal to feel like you are being asked to make a tremendous sacrifice by quitting. You are but for a reason vastly different than dependency denial permits you to think. While it is normal for you to have falsely convinced yourself that you smoke because you like smoking, love smoking, to calm you when stressed, or for flavor or taste, the truth is, these are not the reasons you smoke. You smoke because you are a true drug addict in every sense, because nicotine has de-sensitized your brain, and the rising tide of anxieties can tend to hurt when you don’t smoke.

                                                                                                                                                                      The truth is that the real quitting took place on the day that nicotine took command of your mind and thinking. You’re not giving up anything of value. Even the neurochemicals that nicotine controlled, each already belonged to you! You are coming home to an amazing sense of calm during crisis, to a clean, fresh and healthy you that your new baby will inherit, love and enjoy."

                                                                                                                                                                                          But regardless of if it's true or not, your point seems rather lame in light of the greater scope of the discussion. Your comment comes off like you are justifying putting a fetus at risk by smoking simply because other things can or may also have the same effect.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I'm going to hazard a guess that the chances of such things negatively affecting an unborn child due to smoking far outnumber instances of the same effect from riding in a car.

However, it's not about the current state of the being. (Who gives a flying fuck what you want to call it at the stage of the game. I call the entire process a waste of time and semen.)

You know, the point your kind finally define it as life, or alive. What about when the poor fucker AFTER it has been sprung and now faces a life of problems (emphysema etc).

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Of course she is a stupid bitch for smoking. But I've seen a few people who smoked during their pregnancy spit out healthy kids. If they are stupid enough to want to take that chance, then let them deal with the consequences.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      It's a slippery slope whenever you start talking about personal freedoms.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      The Ontario government recently banned smoking in cars with kids in them. Obviously a good thing for the health of children, but we shouldn't have to make laws to regulate common sense. What's next, banning smoking in your home if you have kids? Banning smoking entirely? What's next on the ban list? Alcohol? Last time that didn't work out so good.

                                                                                                                                                                                                      Again, I don't smoke and think it is stupid to, but everyone is always too quick to want to "regulate" things. I'm getting sick of the government coming out with new laws every week and adding stiffer penalties for things that tons of people do every day. Most of the time it just becomes another tax grab.
