Thanks ladies! Yeah, I agree with all of you. Pregger or not, its hazardous effects are always given. I heard that its effects to the unborn child could lead to pre-term birth or even stillbirth, which is the worst of all. The 3rd hand smoking thing also surprises me big time. Times do change...
Thanks for sharing Abana. I'm surprised how smoking evolves alongside the advancement of our technology. Decades have passed and I've only known about 1st and 2nd hand smoking. And now we've got the 3rd. I'm getting worried for our kids' future. I fervently hope and pray that they would still have a world worth living in for the next generations...
@ Cadelaria - Yes, you're right upon saying that. These terrible things continue to develop too so it's far best to make our health our utmost priority.
How about personal vaporizers or electronic cigarettes? i heard that it's just like steam or something...
E-cigs, though reportedly safer than actual cigarettes, are still harmful to the expectant mom especially if she uses it herself. Yikes! Then again, you're right. I guess it's better and safer to use e-cigs if you've got pregnant women and kids at home.
It is a fact that no electronic cigarette company is endorsed by any health organization. This is the reason why there has been an effective Electronic Cigarette ban in a number of countries like Canada. While Electronic Cigarettes are less dangerous compared to real cigarettes, they are still a threat to smokers. For an effective removal of smoking habit, it is best to give up smoking completely. It is best not to try to stop smoking with Electronic Cigarettes.
@Fanny - Thanks for that info. Electronic cigarettes are the lesser evil. My hubby uses one and I've tried it a few times. The different flavors are a whole lotta fun! Then again it is still best to be used in moderation no matter how lesser of an evil it may be.

Hmm...
Yikes, it's equally harmful. But I second Abana, if it's being used as an aid during the withdrawal phase then I'd go for one.
