My mom smoked while she was pregnant with me and my brother. I weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces when i was born and my brother was 9 pounds 2 ounces. So obviously smoking while pregnant does not cause low birth weight, right? I'm living proof.

We weren't small babies, but there's no telling how big we would have been if she wouldn't have smoked. The whole well I know people is not a valid argument.

Smoking while pregnant is bad.

Breastfeeding is better.

Extended rear facing is safer.

Those are facts. Use facts when you argue/debate/shove your views down someone else's throat please.

That is all.
