Nov 2015

and my doctor warned me to stop for the health of myself and the baby. He didn't have to tell me but once because the smell of the cigarette smoke began to make me nauseous and I stopped. But my husband smoked at that time and I could smell the smoke in his clothes, his hair, where he last set...everywhere he was. I didn't know cigarettes could smell so badly.
