I'm not surprised by the study at all. Pregnant women, when they smoke, are taking in carbon monoxide instead of oxygen.

Smoking is an addiction, a dependency and a habit. It requires behavioral changes.

Why people smoke when they know all these health issues, well, that's a good question.

Good news [is] that there finally has been a parking study done, and bad news is that it has, quite frankly, taken almost the duration of the Williams administration to come up with some policy recommendation and translate them into legislation. The mayor is finally addressing the issue, which is something that has needed to be done for a long time.

As anticipated, when the young women in the current study were asked to select the agents who were most like them and who they most wanted to be like, they tended to pick young, female, attractive, and cool agents.

It looked more effective in women over 60 who adhered to the study medication.
