I am one of those grimsmokers, i have 2children and two step children, two of which sufer from cystic fibrosis. My partner also smokes. We always smoke outside and away from the children. We dont smoke in the vacinity of our children. Yet my doctor is of the opinion if you have children you should not smoke at all. I feel a bit annoyed by his comments, as if he is implying i make there health worse. I do everything in my power to ensure they are as helathy as can be.Meds,Neb, Physio three times a day,3monthly hospital admissions etc. If i was told "you smoking,is affecting there helath i would stop in a flash. No second thoughts. But purely for the fact i have children i should quit smoking? Even though i dont smoke anywhere near them.Are you a parent? Who smokes or do you think my doctor is right? I understand my drs duy is to advise me to stop smoking but is emotional blackmail the way to do it? As a result of this i now feel alienated from my GP and reluctanly go to see him as i knowwhen i do he will press the issue again. My childrens consultant has never expressed concern, i was asked if i smoked how many where etc. I was advised for my helath i should stop but that was it no mention of your a mother now pack it in. Any views or commardary would be greatly appreciated.

no

I feel that the goverment have put up PETROL prices to make up for the taxes that they're not getting with the SMOKING ban.

Did you give your babies dummies and would you do so again, or did they suck their fingers or thumbs?All my three sons had dummies and none of them came to any harm but after the second one took ages to stop having one, I swore I would not give one to my third child, but whilst he was ill and in hospital the nurses there gave him one.

if i had a kid would not give them a dummy would try and get them used to not havin one
