I do not think it follows what MDC is about (my opinion of course) to in any way encourage or support unhealthy habits or parenting. Leaving your DC alone to support an unhealthy habit is not NATURAL doesn't support FAMILY or LIVING for that matter.
For me, I only smoke organic tobacco. I don't smoke daily and when I do smoke, it's not more than one a day. In fact, I haven't smoked since I became pregnant. I don't have an addiction nor do I feel it is unhealthy or that it impedes natural or family or living to take a moment to honor and enjoy natural, organic tobacco in a safe, child-free setting. I also dont' see that asking advice from this group on how to best go about doing so is against natural or family or living. We don't know this woman's smoking habits. We only know that she wants to figure out how to step away from her child when she does smoke in such a way that she is considering his needs and safety above all.
What I'm learning from this thread is that people point the judgment finger at you if you dare to have an opinion that doesn't make them feel good about their decisions.
although i don't agree with the rest of you post, i have to say you do have a point. it makes me mad when people post their "booboos" and want to be comforted. but there's also a lot of mommas on this board who honestly just seek advise and yes, feel free to express your opinion, but stick with the topic. the op did not ask for anyone's help to quit smoking. and that whole discussion about CC really went a little far, imo.
Man, I can't change the subject for love nor money!
How 'bout this one,
So, a ham sandwich walks into a bar and says, 'can I have a beer please?" and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."

I dont like nor do I approve of jokes about public establishments that discriminate against patrons of ANY type (animal, vegetable, mineral)
and dont they allow smoking in bars? that sandwich shouldnt even of gone IN there.....
I sure hope so! There will always be that thread where we all see things a little differently and we need to learn to accept that with grace and instead of agreeing to disagree we should just refrain at times from pointing it out.
