Reporting that smoking in first few weeks of pregnancy is fine

Just looking for a link

why can I not find this anywhere??

I heard this on the radio this morning. It was 6.30, I thought it was a particularly wierd dream.

Have not seen it anywhere else though. It was a short statement on Capital Radio news and I thought at the time it was irresponsible reporting. I'd forgotten it until now though - I thought it would have been all over here!

yes, I keep hearing it on the radio, some guy from the RVI (whose name I can never catch) keeps commenting

finally found something
They mention it in the MN parenting news email otherwise I'd have given up!

They were only looking at birthweight, from what I can see - not the long term lifelong effects. How stupid - I wouldn't have expected it to have much effect on birthweight - the efects of smoking take years to emerge.
