Well, New Year’s is around the corner, and you can count on it that a lot of people are going to want to get on the wagon – quit smoking. And a large part of that audience is likely to be women – for various reasons. Most of them have to do with how women are somewhat better equipped to have children than men. For instance, smoking (or any kind of nicotine, actually) does not go with oral contraceptives, it brings on menopause more quickly, makes women infertile, makes their periods more troublesome, and makes breast cancer a more threatening possibility. Women can still learn to live with these risks for the most part, if it weren’t for the problem of pregnancy. Breastfeeding and smoking alongside hardly makes anyone feel good, least of all the baby. Of course there is a lot of sanctimonious preaching out there that you could read up any time you want to be lectured, but let’s have some practical thoughts in this area. As hard as they try, some women just can’t quit. How does it help to just make them feel bad about themselves?
If you are having a baby, there’s no better time to quit smoking – for your health and that of your child.
