Another excellent, referenced resource is "A Review of the Medical Benefits
and Contraindications to Breastfeeding in the United States," MCH Technical
Bulletin, R. Lawrence, 1997.  It specifically states that smoking is not a
contraindication to breastfeeding.  You can download a copy from
<www.mchlibrary.info/pubs/PDFs/breastfeedingtib.pdf>.

"Help me not to be a taker but a tender,
Help me not to be a whiner but a worker,
Help me not to be a getter but a giver,
Help me not to be a hindrance but a help,
Help me not to be a critic but a catalyst for good."
-- Marian Wright Edelman
