Seriously Lilly, don't worry about it. Your kid will be fine. You cut back a tremendous amount, and you're far from a terrible person. Even if you disrespect Queen Lavigne...

I'd stuff it hard. Afterwards, she could serenade me to sleep.

yes, that makes you a terrible person.



(special place in hell ;))

so you must be against abortion too

about this, yeah, 2nd hand smoke is a bitch on kids so continue pushing for reduction however you can.

then again, i'd rather have a smoking mom than a raging one. gotta balance those priorities.

but (satana) try cutting down as much cuz you wanna, not cuz some asshole told you.

As a non-bias viewer of this thread, I dont think hevusa is being an asshole and I dont think Satan is a completely terrible person.

Some ppl are gifted with better immune systems than others...some ppl can smoke their whole life with minimal problems, some cant get near it without getting asthma attacks and suffering lung problems.

So I think that warps peoples views on smoking in general.

Honestly though, you've cut back alot and as a former smoker I know its hard. Either way though, when your baby is out of you and in your house/apartment, you should quit completely because 2nd hand is bullshit and it's not even giving the baby a chance...


Honestly I feel, this is just a generation casualty of the times, apathetic to our own addictions.

You've never tried to quit before, that sucks, cuz now's a hell of a time to try. I understand really. It took me countless times/health problems to finally kick it. But when me and my sister was born my mother and father both flushed their cigs and quit cold turkey and havent touched it ever since. So I have no sympathy.

It can be done.

quitting smokes was in the top-five best things I've ever done for myself.

after I decided that I will no longer be a slave to cig company execs, it was relatively easy.

cigs never made me really happy nor did they ever truly make me calm. they robbed me of time and money...and for what? so some rich white dude in the carolinas can buy another boat.

fuck that shit.


thing is, you won't ever be able to quit because of a kid, or pricks on a message board but you CAN quit for YRSELF.

DO IT. FFS. don't be a pussy.

(special place in hell, for them together?)

He's definitely not completely without a point, but he doesn't have to be such a trolling prick about it. I've never reached 3 packs a day, but a person who smokes that much has one hell of a habit to kick, and should be commended for cutting back as much as she did, especially when dealing with such a substantial issue as carrying a child. I would have rolled face first down a flight of stairs by now if I had to deal with such a burden.

I really don't have too large of a problem with hevusa personally, he did rep me for hating on Bob Dylan, but there is a fine line between being bold with your opinions, and being a douchehole.

I mean, FUCK, it's not like she's sparking dat rock!

^^Maybe it's a sensitive subject to him?

Remember controversial topics usual involve some controversy and experience.

Kind of a weak arguement.
Like saying, well bush was fucking our country over but it's cheneys fault and bush didnt have time to read everything handed to him...

the country still got fucked.

Though, that's kind of a weak analogy, fault being in we SORT OF had a choice, some of us voted him in.

i think you should quit now, because if not, you'll regret it. my mom quit cold turkey when she became pregnant with me. my uncle quit cold turkey last year after 27 years of smoking about 2 packs a day.

all it really takes is will-power. if you don't have it now you will when yr kid is born and all you care about is him. might as well build yr mind up for it now

hevusa often has a point but he lacks the part of the brain that accounts for subtlety. he should change his name to "mr. categorical"

i wonder if the world seen through his eyes looks like that movie, renaissance



it was all in black & white (no grey) and after a while you get a headache watching.

considering this is sygossip, i don't think hev was too far out of line. lilly said she was feeling guilty, so maybe she already knew the answer to the question that is this thread, and she got the usualy spectrum of response, from the back-patters to the blatant and rude

Let thje placenta do it's job

Most folks from our generation(s) probably smoked with us.

But,
It's the kind of behavior we all know we should probably all move away from, but we also know that change is a slow thing. Congrats to Lily for being aware of your activity and taking it down. Much encouragement to take it out completely, hopefully you consider the childs life outside of the womb to be just as sensitive as being inside (because it is) and that you havent been cleaving your intake with the motivation that after the 9 months you'll be clear to smoke all you want (in the house, and also, are you breastfeeding?). As flowlysloating said, its really about you. You're a pretty girl but imagine those organs during an autopsy.

That said, I LOVE a smoke after dinner. I'm talking about one. I fucking LOVE smoking, used to have a habit. But with much effort, sequestering it into a sort of singular ritual seems to help. Some people cant though, theyre fiends (bless'em.)

My mom gave up smoking while she was pregnant with both me and my sister. I thank her for that. I don't think it's a good idea for Lilly Satankerous to be smoking while she's sharing her body with someone else (not in that way), but I'll give her credit for at least cutting back. It's something. hevusa can fuck off---

DAMN!

OK, I don't smoke, but I can relate to the whole trying-to-quit-a-bad-habit right now. A girl who means more to me than she realizes (although I can't help but suspect she wants me to care about her more than I've shown) had surgery recently and the day she went in I was worried sick about her all day. It didn't help that the night before I had the typical vivid dream/nightmare I often do in which a girl I know and I fall madly in love and all of sudden she becomes deathly ill and passes away. Well, the day after I texted her to see how she was feeling; she usually gets back to me within a few minutes but a while passed with no response and I began to panic and suspect the worst...so I actually prayed to God (mind you, I'm not religious at all) that if she was OK I'd give up swearing. I got a response from her shortly thereafter, so now I feel like I should really make an effort to give up swearing, not just in verbal language but in every form of communication I use. I mean, it's not like I swear like sailor or anything, but I do use some harsh language fairly often. So while I don't have a physical addiction to something, I understand how hard giving up even a relatively minor vice can be...
