quitting smoking was the hardest thing i’ve ever done. though being pregnant was easier to do it for the baby. you can do it!
They should be charged with child abuse. In Canada where I live, it’s illegal to smoke in a vehicle with a minor, yet there are no laws about subjecting it to nine months of smoke while pregnant. I think laws need to be changed and mothers need to not be so selfish with their actions!
I don’t know why they make it illegal to smoke in Canada.
