maybe she could stick the cigarette in her ear to block the jackhammers....
plus, note she lives in the great state of Tobacco (VA). They don't think cigareetes harm anyone
although smoking is a rediculous habit (this coming from a 15 yr 1.5 pack a day ex-smoker), there is actually some precident for smoking while pregnant believe it or not! When my wife got pregnant with our first child she immediately informed the Dr. that she was a smoker, but that she would obviously quite right away. The Dr. actually told her NOT TO! As did the OBGYN!! They both indicated that quitting cold turkey could be too stressful on the fetus and that my wife was to CONTINUE SMOKING 2-3 cigarettes a day!
Just an interesting side story...
Before 20 years ago, smoking (and drinking) throughout pregnancy was absolutely commonplace. Most of our parents did one or both.
Today's medicine is all about reducing risk, so that's why they advise against this stuff, but we're all living proof that it's hardly an automatic death sentence.
But yeah, she's ignorant/callous/misinformed/wrong/lazy, etc...
Seeing a pregnant woman smoking has become an anachronism, as has smoking in movies. It's funny to watch actors holding cigarettes as if they are holding rattlesnakes...lol
I remember being in high school and watching my buddy's sister smoke pot while pregnant.
Needless to say, she ended up with a really dumb, and really mellow, kid.
And you guy have grown up to be so normal poster kids? Look in mirror!! Don;t let this happen to the next generation of AK'ers!Quote:

Way back when my mom was a smoker. She quit cold turkey when she learned she was pregnant for me and never smoked again.Quote:
