Boy, this brings back a lot of memories. Same situation with my ex-wife in Germany. Absolutely refused to stop smoking after promising me at our wedding that she would stop. I lost my Mother to smoking so its an issue with me.

Years later we kept trying to have a child and she had several mis-carriages... then she started going out with someone else while I was working in Saudi. Same thing happened. Finally she stopped smoking (was a chain smoker) and carried the child to term.

Guess what? Once the kid popped out she resumed smoking again. Its an addiction and she is an addict. Oh by the way she does heart transplant's for a living and know's very well what this does to a persons body. Its someone else's problem now.
