Pregnant teenagers are smoking in the hope it will result in them having smaller babies, according to findings of a new Australian study.

Associate Professor Simone Dennis said many of the expectant teens she spoke to during her research cited a fear of having a big baby as their reason for smoking.

“They had seen warnings on cigarette packets saying smoking while pregnant can cause babies to have lower birth weights, and some girls used that as justification for continuing to smoke,” Assoc Prof Dennis, from the Australian National University, said.

“Others did not even smoke before they fell pregnant but took up the habit in the hope it would result in a smaller baby.

“The first pregnant teenager I spoke to said ‘my mum had a whopper, my sister had a whopper, I’m small and there’s no way I want to have a big baby’.”

The findings of the 10-year study have been published in a book which documents the changing experience of smokers when Australia introduced world-leading anti-tobacco laws.

The alarming discovery about pregnant teens was just one of the ways Assoc Prof Dennis found smokers distorted health messages on cigarette packets in a bid to justify their habit.

“People would often not look at it, or put stickers over the top of it so they wouldn’t have to deal with it,” she said.

“When people received a packet that in some way upset them, they would ask for it to be swapped. So if blokes got the packet about pregnancy and smoking harming unborn babies, they were quite comfortable with those.”

Assoc Prof Dennis said the smoking pregnant teens she spoke to were usually not studying or employed and were from low socio-economic backgrounds.

“They came from families who smoke and they had an attitude of ‘well, my mum smoked when she was pregnant with me and I’m fine’,” she said.

“They often lied to doctors about the fact they were still smoking, or would say they were cutting down when they were not.

“They were aware of the other dangers to their baby from smoking, but they chose to focus on the lower birth weight as that message suited them.”

Teenagers who were pregnant with girls were more likely to use small birth weight as an excuse for smoking.

“If they were having a girl they saw it as a good thing for girls to be small and petite,” Assoc Prof Dennis said.

Smoking during pregnancy doubles the risk of stillbirth to about 2 per cent, and increases the risk of premature labour, cleft lips and cleft palates. Women who smoke are also more likely to give birth to small babies, who are more vulnerable to breathing problems and infections.

According to other Australian research, 14.5 per cent of women reported that they still smoked while pregnant, with one in six quitting before birth of the baby.

Young women are more likely to be smokers and 37 per cent of teenage mothers report smoking during pregnancy.

Assoc Prof Dennis’ book, Smokefree, was launched earlier this month and is available through Bloomsbury.

This f~~~ed up on a whole new level. My body, my choice gents.

We live in an age where you can get information about anything via Google, yet these bitches CHOOSE to remain ignorant! If I had my way, I’d put the babies up for adoption and send these insane women to a Siberian work camp.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

It’s time to cull the stupid.

I’m sorry and know it’s a little on the final solution side of things but….

WTF do you do with people like this?

You can’t let them have these kids and then teach them more of that s~~~.

What do you do with them?

They won’t pay for C-section.

The good reason is the pain.

The real reason = bigger baby = greater bored out diameter of passageway = decrease in market value of their only asset.

How about “free C-section” in exchange for permanent irreversible tubal ligation?

"It seems like there's times a body gets struck down so low, there ain't a power on earth that can ever bring him up again. Seems like something inside dies so he don't even want to get up again. But he does."

I take cold comfort that such actions as in the above topic will not continue for long. That when civilization finally collapses, stupidity such as in the top post will not survive. Maybe then humanity can continue moving forward instead of slowly withering away.

My mom actually quit smoking during the period she was carrying me then she started back after I was born.

As a boy, I badgered both of my parents until they quit. I used to have a syringe that I’d draw water into and extinguish their lit cigarettes. I could point squirt very accurately.

F~~~ing mind blowing selfish little c~~~s these days.

Men need to stop f~~~ing these pieces of garbage or at least put something on the end of it.

Exactly, they’re so self absorbed and they don’t want their t~~~s to look like the end of an exploded cigar.

She’s not going to have small babies; she’ll have f~~~ed up ones. Once she figures out she f~~~ed up her unborn kids, she’ll somehow blame the man for it; it’s always the man’s fault.

You must have been an asswhipe as a kid were you? if i was smoking and a little asswhipe like yourself put it out then kids like you would go to school in bruises for it.

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.

My mom kept smoking when she was pregnant with me. Only thing that happened to me is that I got a more yellow tint to my teeth.

Smoking is a nasty habit and my mom does it till this day. I’m around it so much that I don’t even smell cigarette smoke anymore. And I keep my room door closed all the time because of the smoke.

Oh yeah. The babies might not be small, they might be tainted with every other birth defect under the sun except for that one. And he can try to say, “You shouldn’t have smoked!”

But she’ll just reply “Well you could’ve talked me out of it! I mean who lets a pregnant woman smoke?!”

I wish that Jeremy Kyle ran a parenting school.
