"My father quit 22 years ago after smoking for over 20 years because he thought the price was too high. My mom quite 3 years ago after 60 years of smoking for the same reason."

My mom quit cold turkey after 10 yrs. I quit cold turkey during the pregnancy of both my kids. I hate the "i'm a victim" mentality of people who become "victims" voluntarily.

I think it's great that you eliminated one risk during pregnacy. But back in the dark ages. My mom smoked through six uneventful pregnacies years of birth 1948 son 8lb 6oz, 1950 daughter 7lb 8oz, 1954 (me)9lb 6oz, 1956 daughter 8lb 4oz, 1958 son 8lb 8oz, and 1961 son 9lb even. SO MUCH FOR LOW BIRTH WEIGHT.. All of us grew up in a 2 smoker home went in the 2 smoker car and I am the only smoker of the sibs. We were seldom sick as childrena dnwe're healthy adults. If I ever feel that smoking is hurting my health I'll quit. But we lost direction there it really isn't about smoking it's about property rights and government control. Going with my picture to airbrush dude.
