 I've heard that smoking while prego isn't as bad as second hand to a newborn.... any of you heard this? Is there any truth to it?

 well I know my bff smoked during pregnancy and all 3 of her kids are healthy... she'd smoked for a good while before she even got pregnanat so stopping would be hard for her to do it cold turkey so to speak...her doctor told her to slow down.

 I haven't actually heard that.  My feeling is pick your poison, if it's not smoke or secondhand smoke, it's diesel exhaust or bonfire residue or meat byproduct processing plant or marigold pollen or asphalt sealant fumes or...Well you get the picture.  LOL

Then again, I smoked when I was pg and my kids are fine.  Obviously quitting is better for your health and the kids' but if you can't or don't it doesn't make an evil person.  LOL
