From the Mail:

In Hartlepool from April 1, 2005, to March 31, 2006, 319 out of 1,149 maternity patients – 27.8 per cent – were still smoking when they gave birth.



Bush fires??

THEY WILL TELL YOU THEY NEED IT TO GET OVER THE STRESS
AND I WILL PACK IN ONCE THE BAIRN IS BORN
TOO BLOODY LATE PET

I didn't know they let people smoke in hospital?

they dont you have to walk through a smoke screen at the main entrance
people in wheel chairs and some even connected up to intravenous drip saving their lives and bus loads of pregnant women are down at the doors killing them selves
i suppose it is easy for a non smoker to criticise

Not suppose to smoke within the NHS grounds now. Doesn't stop any fooker though.

they were smoking whilst giving birth
