Write a list of reasons you need to quit. Ok now they are getting more positive! Again HONESTY is the gigantic word here for the same reason stated before. You need as lots of solid positive reasons for quitting cigarettes so that these ways to quit smoking cigarettes work! HINT: List them in a positive way so in lieu of writing “Scared of lung cancer” write “I need to be healthy & live a long life!” … negative reasons are not as strong as positive ones.

I once was a smoker too before I had children. I can’t imagine smoking while being pregnant. What I’ve seen that really gets me is people that smoke inside their cars with infants inside!!!!!! That makes me crazy.

I think it qualifies for both : abuse and neglect. Truthfully I would have been extremely upset, but I wouldn’t have said anything.

I would have not said something to her…But I would have made a comment loud enough for her to hear me. (that’s the way i am) Something along the line of “What a freaking a**, that poor baby”.

I’m pregnant and I get sooo mad seeing people do it! And I also get mad when people light up in front of me!!! Iowa just passed a public smoking ban and you have no idea how happy I am that they did!

Depending on if she looked like someone who would want to start a fist fight or not, I would have either said it to her or said it loud enough that she could hear to my kid don’t you ever do that it’s wrong! If I was on my phone I would have said OMG guess what I just seen once again loud enough for her to over hear it, the person on the phone would wonder what I was talking about but I would have told them once I was in the car why I all of a sudden yapped about something out of the blue. I think it’s very wrong my hubby smokes,not in my house mind you. He never paid attention to stuff like that before the baby but now if he sees a pregnant woman doing it he gives them a look of utter disgust. That makes me very proud of him! haha

I would not have said anything. It is her body and her child. It is not my business. She is fully aware that shouldn’t be smoking. Why the comments of a stranger phase her, when carrying a new life doesn’t?

My friend smoked during pregnancy everyday, she knew I and everyone around her frowned on it and continued. What can you do?

I have big issues with this….After I delivered my daughter I was in the recovery room and the lady next to me was calling for a nurse..When the nurse came back she asked why her baby was shaking (this lady was seriously freaking out) The nurses started scolding her and told her that her baby wont stop shaking because you smoked for your whole pregnancy and the baby needs nicotine….if I could have felt my legs I seriously would have kicked her hard! My sister in law smokes as well and just found out she is pregnant but is refusing to stop smoking…Arg!!!!

I hate seeing it, I feel bad for the low birth weight baby when it’s born. Hoping it will survive.

Makes me cringe.
