Why do people care so much about people smoking and degrade them for it? Or even lecture? They don't know you, so they can't say they care. If they do its a load of BULL! I ask because I was so down graded on this thing for smoking. I never even met any of these people in my life. I just would like to wonder why they freakin care so much??? It isn't your life, it isn't your family that gets the second hand smoke, or your friends. I don't understand it!!!

Everybody says, it is because of their health, right? But I dont live anywhere near you. I don't have nothing to do with your health. I am very respectful person and smoke away from people that I see don't smoke. Yea my breathe may stink or my clothes. SO WHAT?! Thats just like a homeless person that walks up on you and asks you for change. They stink too, but you dont degrade them. Maybe talk crap to your friends and family though. And by the way, I know plenty of people that have smoked and had healthy babies. Did you know that more people that are totally healthy, have more promblems with their babies than people that smoke. And I only am getting degraded here, not in my world!!I guess people just in a bad mood and feel like venting. I guess I am stupid for smoking, but thats me not you.

Militant ex-smokers and non-smokers (the "lecturing" ones, anyway) really piss me off. They claim that MY second hand smoke is killing them. Well I'd like to know when was the last time they sat with me on the patio and had me blow shotguns straight at them for any extended period of time? Do they HONESTLY REALLY TRULY think that the smoke I exhale at the doorway entrance to the mall (that they barely pass by, considering they're going in the other entrance several doors down) is going to kill them of lung cancer when they're 80?
Really, this is absolutely ridiculous. I think they should worry more about the automobiles, factories, oil refineries, etc. that are running day and night instead. If anything is going to cause cancer, THEY will. Have you ever seen an oil refinery? Seriously, they have these giant flames on top of the smoke stacks, burning out the impurities of the oil. How can ANYONE not think that's bad for them? Yet do they complain about it? Hell no--because they need oil to lubricate their car's engines and to be refined and turned into gasoline to make their cars run.
Personally, I think the ONLY non-smoker who has any right to complain is one who lives with a smoker and the smoker refuses to go outside and smoke. That is sort of wrong, but really--in any other circumstances, keep your d@mn mouth shut!

I think the reason so many people degrade people for smoking is because it does affect the people around you. It gives off an awful stench and sticks in your clothes. The second hand smoke is very noticable and is bad for anyone who is near it. You can even smell it on someones breath when they talk to you. For me i'm not thinking of your own health, since it is your own body, but more of the people around you. So as long as you are confining to yourself and not blowing it my direction it's ok. Otherwise you are bothering the people around you.

The main problem will appear when you see your child and it comes to be that your smoking habit has damaged him or her, and that his or her life quality is therefore diminished.
It might be that it isn't like that, but you know, I wouldn't risk my child's health just for calming down an addiction.
Good luck and congratulations for the coming child, and may he or she be healthier than most.
By the way, this vennessa person is expecting a baby and says she has smoken during the whole period.

because smoking while your pregnant is not healthy for a baby sure you can smoke (half a pack or whatever) but that does not make it healthy for the child pretty much you are poisioning him/her before he/she can even try to stop you i personally think that people that smoke when they are pregnant should have their children taken away from them because they obviously do not give a sh*t about the child anyways you are getting so much greif about it because alot of people see things exactly as i do. personally i dont give a flying f*** if you smoke yourself to death tomorrow but why dont you leave the child out of it! i dont see how you can think that it is okay to do that! but whatever i guess some people are just stupid

Unjust annoyance. They take it out on you that they have to endure second hand smoke everywhere they go. Since smoking is illegal almost everywhere in California now, people are a lot less annoyed and they harass smokers a lot less. But it is a disgusting habit and you choose to perpetuate it. I don't get on people for farting in public or picking their nose but it is pretty much the same, except your smoke gives me a headache and makes my clothes reek.

You're smoking while you're pregnant? It's not just your life and your body, you know. You are harming your poor unborn child. You embody what I always say about people like you...
You have to have a license to have a dog, but any idiot can have a child.

Since this question is in pregnancy and parenting, does that mean you're a smoker and you're pregnant? If that's the case, what you're doing is VERY harmful to the baby you're carrying. If not, then it's your choice if you want to smoke...

My husband smokes. I get his second hand smoke and so did my children when young...the oldest having asthma. Smoking effects everyone sooner or later. At least...take it outside.

Because smoking is more harmful to the ppl around you than it is to you, I say go off and kill yourself by yourself don't stand by pregnant ppl, children, animals or the elderly, die alone it's you who smokes so it's you who should die all by yourself.

Parents who smoke should be charged with child abuse - I really hope you're not a parent, and that you don't plan to become one!
