Re: Here's a touchy topic.
Ok! I thought I would sound judgmental if I just came out and said my views on it, which are the same as most of yours. I don't have anything that I am addicted to. But if there were something I liked a whole lot, like Beef Jerky, or Orange Juice, and it were medically proven that it definitely caused delays and birth defects, I would no longer consume them. I can't think of how I could rationalize it. I would blame myself for every little thing.
I am pregnant now, and I have noticed that there are actually some people who will go out of their way not to smoke in front of me! It actually shocked me, that they recognized that it was unhealthy, so they stepped outside. But there are others still who act like there is nothing wrong. I just wonder why that first group wouldn't give me that respect before conception.
Here, in TN, they just recently passed a law that went into effect Oct. 1st that bans smoking in public places, and for a certain distance from entrances/exits. But there are still people that light up outside the door to Wal-Mart. Like I don't have to walk through that air. I understand that it is each person's choice whether or not to smoke, and they can make that decision. BUT, I think that it should be confined to the home or the car. I don't twant to breathe that crap. Doorway smokers, I want to hit people like that with my car.
