Treated like a Queen FOR Smoking at Office Christmas Party

70. yes however infection in the amniotic fluid itself could be the culprit

sorry I wasn't more clear about that, moreover having had pre-congenital pneumonia can lend itself to similar problems through out childhood and even into adulthood, also I have experienced anecdotal evidence that some of the stats concerning smoking risks are being artificially enhanced one such incident took place while my son was an infant- he had an middle-ear infection common enough in infants (he was 11 months) took him in to the clinic he was being seen at all went as expected I was given a script for amoxicilllin 2 weeks standard stuff- then like an after thought the resident asked if there was a smoker in the home-I said yes and he asked for the script back and left the room, the one that was brought to me by the CMA working him was the same save the course of treatment was one week rather than 2 as in the original when I asked why she said something about "guidelines" -needless to say the ear-infection returned shortly after he finished the course of antibiotics, I found another Dr private clinic as opposed to public he was treated properly end of ear-infection not another childhood ear infection, but what came out some months after my initial visit was an announcement that children of smokers have more frequent middle-ear infections- remembering the first visit and mysterious script change I called the clinic and asked if they provided stats to the CDC and cancer society and guess what-they did
There is more where deaths from COPD are concerned too in a number of places when an elderly person dies of unknown causes and no autopsy is preformed even when evidenced that there is another cause-if they ever smoked or in some cases even lived with a smoker COPD is listed as cause of death even when the person was never diagnosed with it, my sister who works as county registrar in Indiana confirmed this, and the death of our mother form what appeared to be a cerebral accident of some sort also pointed to that COPD was listed as cause of death even though she had not smoked for years was never diagnosed with COPD and had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer

I'm not saying that smoking is harmless by any means but the stats are IMO being exaggerated
