With child, and with cigarette
I do so miss smoking, but I'm lucky my asthma got the better of me and I had to stop. I'm surprised to learn 1 in 10 pregnant women still smoke, given everything we know, but researchers are trying to figure out if depression has something to do with it. From the AP:
"These ladies all know, I promise you, about the health risks. That's not what it is," says Dr. Jan Blalock of the University of Texas M.D Anderson Cancer Center, which has begun a first-of-a-kind study, Project Baby Steps, to test whether non-drug depression therapy helps pregnant smokers quit."We should at least understand more about why these ladies don't quit. We should be looking more carefully instead of just saying, 'Whoop, got this group of hard-core smokers.'"
Doesn't Jan sound kind of sassy?
