Remember the pregnant smoker that worried about jackhammers?

[Gothic Sponge]

Dozens of calls and e-mails came to The Roanoke Times impugning her reputation and criticizing the paper for printing the photo.

Criticism doesn't bother smoker

That poor kid, if it get's out alive, it'll probably weight three pounds and have asthma.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

EDITED TO ADD: Thank Hathor she's from western Virginia and not West Virginia. We're getting enough bad pregnancy press from Lynndie Englund.

5. Note: Never use her doctor!

"As for smoking while pregnant, she said her doctor told her "it would be good if I cut back, but if I totally quit, it would not only cause stress on me but it would cause stress on the baby."

6. Actually that was her -the health system's spokesman said:

Speaking generally, Eric Earnhart, spokesman for Carilion Health System, said any pregnant person who comes to its facilities "is going to be advised to quit smoking."

It is possible, he said, that a person having difficulty quitting would be advised at least to cut down.

Williamson said she has cut down from two packs per day to one-half pack.

9. Nah that's a typical line smokers use

My sister-in-law smoked when pregnant, as did my neighbor. They both told me their doctors said that. My neighbor and I had the same OB. So I asked, and he looked at me like I was crazy and said he always advises women to stop smoking. Especially pregnant women. My SIL's OB wrote a column in a local parenting magazine saying the same thing. So I know those two people lied.
