I'm pretty sure he was being humorous.

My mom smoked when she had me. I'm 23 though, not sure how much was known about it back then.

Exo? I thought the post you were responding to was from Engine.

What Tore said, science doesn't lie. If it's proven that smoking harms the babies health and causes genetic mutations. There's going to be cases where some samples will not be affected but the likelihood of developing problems greatly increase.
Not everyone who doesn't wear their seatbelt dies in a car journey, but the chances are greatly increased as to those who decide to wear them.

I'm not having a go at anyone's mothers but if you're serious enough to put yourself through the ordeal of carrying a life for 9 months and the pain of childbirth, why would you want to jeopardise what is already a major commitment for the sake of a few cigarettes which aren't going to help you with things such as morning sickness anyway.
Plus, how would you feel if you're child was born retarded or had deformities. You personally would have handicapped them for life because you failed to give up cigarettes.

Drinking and using illicit drugs while pregnant is more dangerous than smoking throughout (not to say that's a good idea either). Drinking causes fetal alcohol syndrome and other neurological problems, and using other drugs can have similar effects as well as the baby being born addicted to the drugs.

Although I've noticed that people who's mothers smoked during pregnancy often become smokers themselves later in life. That's just based on anecdotal evidence though, but it's interesting.

So maybe I'm not all that funny, but I do try to drink a lot in order to make up for that shortcoming, so at least I was born with the ability to recognize my flaws and attempt to correct them.

Tore (see how I know who I'm responding to, btw), I never said that my mother's smoking had no effect on me. If it did then the anecdotal evidence suggests that some women absolutely should smoke during pregnancy. If she hadn't smoked, I may have been born with physical deformities or mental handicaps.

This girl on my Facebook, who I have posted about in this thread before, continues to amaze, baffle and infuriate me. I know I should unfriend her but I just have to see what she puts on. It's becoming an illness.

She shares things that I find inappropriate, personally. Whatever, that's only my opinion. But she posts a hundred times a day, usually so vague and uninteresting I'm sure not one person could be interested and sometimes...well, she shares too much.

Recently she decided to inform everyone that her son had been returned by his father after a stay at his fathers house. Upon him leaving and when she got round to taking the childs clothes out of his bag to wash them, she found a pair of womens underwear, apparently belonging to the fathers girlfriend.

Not only did she share this with hundreds of people she knows, a lot of which she barely knows anymore (like me, I went to school with her), she also decided to inform everyone that the underwear came with a nice, fresh stain. Lovely.

Oh, and then came the photo's of them...

Haha. I didn't particularly want to see a photo of them the first time. Never mind go and find it and share it with everyone else. This was also then followed by status updates of the fallout when the father and the girlfriend either saw or were informed what she was doing.

Some people.
