On my way to work this morning I drove past a heavily pregnant woman who was puffing away on a cigarette. At first I thought "maybe she's just really fat in the stomach area", but on closer inspection I decided that she really was pregnant. I don't get it, what excuse do they have to justify smoking when they're expecting a baby?
Maybe it was just a moment of weakness and it was the only cigarette she's had during her pregnancy, but how do I know that? And with all the facts they now have on the effects of smoking and that whole slogan "Every cigarette is doing you damage", how can women still suck on those cancer sticks while they're pregnant? I hate to judge someone I just drove past on the street, but come on! Smoking? While pregnant? Just because you're killing yourself slowly doesn't mean your unborn child should have to suffer as well.
