I have known pregnant women who smoked during preganacy for crazy reasons and for no reason. One that stands out in my mind is a teacher who did not want to gain weight, another is a mom who just said she could not quit. Why can't people put their babies first and do what is right?

Prove it first! I don't agree with smoking but my Mom and Dad smoked, I have normal cholesterol. I smoked with both my children and they also have normal cholesterol. I'm 61 and my children are in their 30's. I believe genetics plays a role in cholesterol and heart disease, not every human body is the same.
