I used to work in a convenience store that sold a lot of cigs and I sometimes had to sell them to pregnant women. I wasn't thrilled about it but I minded my own business. I was far more annoyed by the twelve year old kids who cursed at me for not selling them smokes.

Thank you for not saying anything to them.

When I got unexpectedly pregnant - birth control isn't 100% - I was smoking two packs a day. I tried to quit. But quitting completely caused me huge amounts of stress and anxiety, plus the guilt that I was OMG! KILLING MY BABY! everytime I slipped up.

My doctor and I discussed it, and he felt that the stress and guilt and everything of trying to unsuccessfully quit completely was more harmful to me and the baby than having a few cigarettes. I exercised, ate healthier than I had in my entire life, completely cut out soda, and limited myself to two cups of coffee and 2-3 cigarettes a day. Was it ideal? Of course not. But it was better than making myself sick with guilt and stress, which was what I was doing before.
