Smoking?

Ok, as a physician I can’t advocate smoking and pregnancy.  Well actually, as a physician I can’t advocate smoking and anything!  A friend of mine had a medical text book his Great Grandfather used in the late 1800’s and in the book it listed smoking as a good option for weight loss.  Medicine has come a long way.  Now I just scan my patient with my tricoder and correct for any abnormalities because damnit Jim, I’m a doctor not a cartoonist!
