Smoking is extremely addictive, but there are certain things we do for our kid that are very hard, and one of them is being pregnant, taking care of our bodies while pregnant and nursing (and I am not even talking about giving birth!).

Smoking while pregnant will: Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby.

I have been told many things about smoking during pregnancy. I am currently nine weeks pregnant and I'm having a problem with just quitting smoking. I've been told that since I've smoked for almost ten years that if I just up and quit I run a high risk of loosing my baby. I've been told to cut back and I've got to where I only smoke about 5 to 8 a day and before I got pregnant I smoked a pack a day.

and one that found a tenuous link between (current) smoking, WMH, and being an elderly woman. But nothing about smoking/history of smoking and WMH in otherwise cardiovascularly/pulmonarily healthy people under age 60. So, again...where is this coming from? Anyone have any ideas? Can anyone find citations to support these assertions?

I found a place with an autoclave but do I need to worry about this last time? What are the facts? And do I really need to worry about HIV if it can't live out of its host?

I forgot to bring my own tools so decided to let them use theirs.

I always thought that it would be easier if I was quiting for my baby, but I'm really struggling to quit completely. Does anybody have any advice to help me kick this horrible habit for good?

Hey yeah im 15 and was extremley worried about my parents smoking the both started at 13 so i looked it up and they were spending like $5000 aus a year on it smoking a pack a day which they didnt realise also each ciggarette takes around 12 minutes from your life. once i told them they slowed down but didnt stop but then when my mums father died of cancer because of smoking it hit them hard and they pretty much stopped after a few weeks.

Here in the UK you're classed as a younger stroke survivor if you're aged under 65; at least that's what seems to be the case here in Portsmouth, where I live. To see the local stroke specialist dr in the stroke clinic you have to be aged 65 or over, so being aged 52 and wanting a second medical opinion on something stroke-related, i had to pay out for a private medical second opinion. As to smoking being a factor, it certainly wasn't in my case.

I thought i knew of the facts about sex and diseases, my friend didnt know either when we talked about our experience on holiday and where both 42 years old, if I knew you could catch sti from oral I would have never have done it. One thing for sure it will never happen again now I know the facts, alcohole should be banned. I really feel disgusted with myself,and let down by my actions its so easy to be put into a situation when on holiday with friends and pretty girls are available.

Your BP is only slightly elevated, but talk to your doctor about it. My husband is suffering very badly from his smoking days that ended 27 years ago. I have a sister-in-law who is dying from emphysema and still smokes, I guess to hurry up the process. Kudos to you for quitting!!!

well done on cutting down on the smoking. I can give you facts and information about smoking during pregnancy but don't panic reading them, you're not too late to stop damage from being caused.. It is dangerous, and can increase risk of miscarriage, birth defects, stillbirth, low birth weight, cot death, placental abruption and problems with child in later life. However if you quit soon you could avoid many of those things dramatically. One or two a day are still harmful..

There are so many different studies and opinions on this issue, I don't think it will ever be resolved... We all know that study data can be skewed any way one wants to skew it, in order to come up with the preferred results.
