Wise words. One thing to be said for smoking though is I have never come across a smoker with bad breath. Yes, they smell or taste of smoke, but not proper bad breath. Interestingly the advice for pregnant women recently changed in that they can have a glass of wine when they are pregnant and no harm will be done to the unborn.

I was born in a time when most people smoked and the bad effects on unborn babies weren't known, nor was the connection between smoking and lung cancer known. I grew up living with smokers, married smokers, my two sons smoke. I have asthma.
I agree that giving up smoking while pregnant is good in theory, BUT, by the time women realise they're pregnant, the tiny foetus has already formed lungs and heart etc and if they begin smoking again right after the birth, the baby will still suffer the effects of smoke in the house and even residual smoke in the mother's hair, clothes and on her breath.

Um, dunno whether this comment will 'get through' the orifice of 'internettical constrictions' ..

but self has achieved at least two progeny (that i know of). One remains alive; one died before birth.

There is, however, an argument to be made that this planet is suffering from 'overpopulation'. Humans could, perhaps, be considered an uncontrollable "virus". Planet Gaia is struggling at this point in time -

Andrew . A glass of wine ? depending on the size of the glass and how often!

River. I was introduced to Duty Free smokes from the age of eighteen while in the RN , but didn't smoke until about age 22, ventilation on RN ships was poor also my Action Station up high on the ADP meant I would get all the free smoke I needed from the ships funnels.

Davoh. Humans an uncontrollable Virus ? Well maybe some of those geezers in what was once known as Mesopotamia could be a start. Mind you most of them are already decimating each other which helps.
