Yes, if you are going to over react in such a ridiculous way its probably best you hide the thread

What I find surprising is that while everyone rightly agrees smoking while pushing a pram is wrong on mumsnet, you also have threads where people are told its wrong to judge pregnant women for smoking.

I don't get that. Smoking while pregnant is absolutely vile, and even worse than smoking around children. How could it ever be ok?

I've posted before but I'll post again,

I think the vitriol towards smokers is a bit OTT, I quit for years and then after a very traumatic pregnancy/birth having literally no time to recover from childbirth thrown straight back into full SAHM mode and my eldest kicking and me having to wrestle with a big child, days after giving birth sent me back, ..

However I don't make myself fag breaks during the day with the kids, I don't smoke more than like a few times a day, and If I'm with a buggy I park it a few feet in sight away from me whilst child is quiet.
I get a few hmm but I'd rather than then puffing into a pram.

were not all jeremy kyle fodder.

This thread is not about mothers who smoke hair.
It is about parents who smoke whilst pushing a buggy.

I do not agree with some of the OTT comments either.

But nothing is going to make me say 'awww go on then' either.

Everyone knows it is unacceptable to subject a child to cigarette smoke. People who do it, do it know it is wrong.

But I don't get all freaky over it. The majority of us do things that we know we shouldn't.

People killing themselves by smoking ^ genuinely ^ makes me feel sad.
Not in a patronising, head tilting way either.

I just wish everybody would stop it (and I smoke the occasional fag when drinking so I am not exactly halo polishing here!)

Yanbu. It is horrible to see and I feel pity and sadness for the poor children forced to inhale the vile carcinogens.

It's unacceptable to smoke around a child. End of.

I don't see anything wrong with smoking while pushing a pram and think those of you that do are being ott and absolutely precious.
typical mumsnet

I remember seeing a bloke on the beach walking yards away from baby. to have a smoke . just ott and stupidly middle class.

hairtearing Wed 27-Mar-13 09:49:53

I couldn't be further from middle class and I stand like a foot away from the buggy I need one.

would you not be hmm seeing someone puffing a fag into a rear facing pram? shock

you are outdoors.
I wouldn't do it in the car, in the house,
but outdoors is fine.
what about other pollutants.

I know I am fighting a losing battle with some people though.
