Dear Friends:
    We already have plenty of good scientific evidence that proves tobacco is
bad; how many mothers won't breastfeed because they prefer to smoke
cigarettes? Evidence doesn't seem to help the way we wish it would. (It always takes my
breath away when a pregnant woman tells me she can't breastfeed because she
smokes! Meanwhile, she is smoking while pregnant.)
    warmly,
