I was a smoker, but I quit right around the time of my

. I just couldn't keep smoking. There is plenty of research out there on how harmful it is, and it isn't just what most think of. My depression propensity is probably caused by my mother smoking. Along with a whole host of things (I weighed 4 POUNDS LESS than my brother and she quit smoking when she found out about him), just the thought of purposefully puffing away on something so toxic while growing a person, yuck. My doc offered me medications to quit, but I was able to do it cold turkey. Meds would be better than smokes. Cigs have so many other chemicals that are unhealthy in them. Nicotine is almost the least worrisome.
I would hope they would at least be trying to cut down.
