Seems to me if she wanted her child to live with her, it would be worth giving up smoking.

Seems to me it shouldn't even be a damned issue. You nanny-statists driving me absolutely nuts.

I agree that shouldn't even be an issue.

I smoke and along with the wife we have raised 6 normal, strong, healthy children.

Let me state what I think is a much bigger issue about child custody than smoking could ever be. That would be the one parent household where the children are raised on canned noddles, store bought microwaved pizzas, etc. I have seen plenty of this in my lifetime. Everything the kids eat comes in a box, a can or is some kind of snack food. Most, by the time they are 6 years old will not eat a fresh vegetable. Won't even try them because their mother/dad never cooks for them what they should be eating.

I won't even get into the part about the parent in custody teaching their kids that the other parent is a lowlife slug. These kids are so messed up by the time they are teens that nobody can straighten them out.

Where are all the child advocates when this is destroying the child physically and mentally?

So all the anti-smokers can preach what they want but there are many things much more harmful to a child than someone smoking in a household.
