I smoked when pregnant, and all 4 of my children are higher than average in intelligence.

Maybe nicotine helps brain development.

Their fingers, toes, and other appendages are normal . And they were much healthier than their peers, in spite of all the second hand smoke they inhaled. And, get this, none of them are smokers today! Neither am I since New Year's.

I quit cold-turkey after 40 odd years of smoking, not because of health, but because of cost and social pressure. So far, doing fine.

Congrats!!

My mom smoked, and I smoked, during pregnancy, and that's 7 kids altogether so far perfectly normal (just don't ask my husband about his brother-in-laws). One of my brothers is gay...hmmm. I think I need a federal grant to study the effects of smoking on fetuses and if it cause homosexuality!
