Does it Pi$$ you off when you see a pregnant woman smoking?

Question

This really ticks me off! It shouldn't be legal!!! I used to live underneath a woman who smoked like a chimney and she was pregant. (She also wore 5 inch heels, carrying in groceries up and down stairs while her husband waited inside the apartment with her other kids) She would also scream obscenities to her kids, her youngest was in diapers still. I mean what mother in their right mind would be like this??

To Hotmodelanton: Obviously your mother smoked A LOT more than Cigarettes when she was pregnant with you.

Answer 1

Hotmodelanton, it is obvious why you must use your looks as your profession and not your intellect!!! These situations cause our health care insurance to go through the roof, and affect everyone! While the smoking unfortunately is still legal, her behavior toward her children is abusive, and warrants a call to Children's Protective Services. Once they are involved, they will begin monitoring her and the children. This makes me very angry. There is nothing worse than delivering a five pound baby with health problems to these smoking mom-to-bes, and knowing you have to let them go home with them to be abused on a daily basis by secondhand smoke!!! Many of them ask to go outside and smoke during labor, despite being warned that it will decrease the oxygen their baby receives, and could put the baby at serious risk. It is very sad.

Answer 2

Yes it does. I am a smoker I won't dent it but I never smoke around my kids and I quit as soon as I found out I was pregnant. Everyone owes it to their child to give them the best start in life. As far as the mother yelling obscenities at her kids this is verbal abuse and needs to stop, no child deserves that some people just don't deserve kids and have them while others that would make great parents aren't blessed with the child they so desperatly want.

Answer 3

nicely on the grounds that its not your body you cant fairly do something about it may you its like attempting to regulate peoples concepts who're getting abortions, no count number how a lot you *****, its not likely to regulate something, so take care of it! im really a lot 8 months pregnant and that i smoke, i in basic terms smoke about 2-3 cigerettes an afternoon, yet i nonetheless do regardless my toddler is acceptable length, his organs are all healthful and that i will breathe large for carrying all this added weight, my docs bitched about my blood stress being so intense, so i began smoking again, and guess what it went down! i attempted quiting even as pregnant and it placed a lot extra rigidity on me then even as i develop into smoking, and on the grounds that the toddlers high quality theres no prefer to provide up, im not smoking a %. an afternoon, i smoke like a %. a week, and that i recognize quite some smokers even as pregnant, so thats my decision and that i will follow it,

Answer 4

no, i don't get angry. Some people don't realize or not educated enough that smoking causes preterm births and lower birthrate infants. My cousin quit smoking when pregnant and started back after her son was born. But she doesn't smoke around the baby. What concerns me more it her screaming obscentites at her kids. If you feel like it is an abuse problem report it. If not don't get to worked up over it. You need your own peace of mind.

Answer 5

I agree, its totally selfish. Smoking is disgusting enough, but its even worse to force the poisons on a developing baby. When I was pregnant, my husband would flip if anyone lit up around me, even when we were outside. "Hello... pregnant chick here, put it out!" Lol. And yeah, I have a neighbor who sounds like yours. She has a toddler and an infant and is constantly blaring music so loud it shakes OUR place. Plus we frequently smell pot smoke from over there. One more incident, and I'm calling child protection services. People like that dont deserve kids

Answer 6

These day's it does years ago no due to education and information we have now day's there should be no reason to smoke just give up for the sake of the baby. When there are so many women who can't get pregnant how must they feel when they see things like this.

Answer 7

I HATE that!!! I am a smoker myself but the day I found out I was pregnant I stopped. Cold turkey. I didn't start smoking again until six weeks later when I went back to work. And even now I never smoke around my daughter and I wash my hands everytime after I light up.

Answer 8

I refused to give a cigarette to a pregnant woman that asked me for one. On the other hand, when a friend of mine was pregnant her doctor told her it was best to smoke a few cigarettes a day, because the stress of quitting entirely was worse for the baby than the damage caused by smoking a few (2-3) cigarettes a day.

Answer 9

Hell yeah, it bothers me. I'm currently pregnant and I freak out at the thought of ACCIDENTLY being exposed to something that may hurt my sweet baby! The unfortunate truth is that most of your everyday people are selfish and want instant gratification and don't give a flying damn about anyone else but themselves, including someone as precious as their innocent unborn child. I don't understand it either, but the only defense people like us have is to try to raise our own children better and maybe the world won't suck so bad in the future.

Answer 10

It doesn't Pi** me off. But i don't like it. I have smoked from over 40 some years.. But never did one of my kids ever smell one odor of my cigarette.. I never smoke in the house, car. motel room, or any where it may effected my family or anyone else..It just sound like you had a bad neighbor, that didn't give a rat's butt to no one else..
