My mom admitted that she smoked during her pregnancy with me. She always joked that her doctor told her it'd stunt my growth.

I'm 6'3" 340lbs. "Guess work in a white coat," right?

She was also bi-polar, so I think I inherited it more than having the cigs affect it.

Couldn't it also have somethin to do with some other factor which lead the women to continue smoking during pregnancy while others stopped? Like stress or something.
