I guess they are more likely to crave nicotine, at a minimum.
Inhaling poison is dangerous, shocker.
A friend managed a local gas station. Sold a lot of gas and especially cigarettes.
9 of 10 cigarette purchases were by women; and the women bought most of that on Fridays.
The wreckage that cigarettes do to the ladies skin - few are convinced.

Hmmm, so it's more deadly than a weaponized botulism toxin aerosol, which only takes micrograms to kill you.
Smoking is a stupid habit. It harms the mother as well as the child.
Alcohol consumption is another dangerous concern. As is illicit drug usage.
Someone explain this to me: If “My Body. My Choice” is the catchphrase that allows abortions, then how and why does the State prosecute women who use drugs during pregnancy leaving children to be born with serious birth defects?
No Amount of Smoking Is Safe PERIOD.
One of the few vices I was wise enough to avoid altogether......except as a kid being exposed second hand to my parents chain smoking.
I don’t see the word deadly anywhere in the article, where did you see it?
I guess ciggies today are more powerful?
Thank you, sir!
Ok, taking a step back, what exactly does a microgram of smoke do to a pregnant woman that warrants the characterization “unsafe”?
You are welcome.
The article uses statistics.
Statistics are great talking point for people who want to make points—but they tell us nothing about individual outcomes for individual people.
Those outcomes usually fall on something like a normal curve.
So, no cigarette after sex?

I can’t imagine how smoking is good for one’s health. Though in the generations before me they gave out free cigarettes on airplanes to relax the nervous flyers.
Nicotine is addictive. It’s hard to quit. I smoked. I enjoyed it. It was like a form of affection - hot smoke down my esophagus. I always told people they’d have to tie me to a tree for a week to get me to quit. Then I had a heart attack and spent a week in the ICU. Slept through the worst of the withdrawals I guess. But as I left the hospital I told everyone that was my week tied to a tree. I was done.
“Inhaling poison is dangerous, shocker.”

We’re finding Marijuana smoke is one of those poisons. Tokers will deny.
They should have told my mother that (and just about everyone else’s I know around my age) 65 years ago. But we didn’t turn out too bad.
Based on my research, people suspected since Shakespeare’s time that smoking isn’t good for people.
