WOW... good for you. My MIL stopped smoking when my daughter was born (We said she couldn't touch her grandchild until the MIL had showered and changed her clothes) but she is back to doing it now (5 years later). I guess Lesley wasn't enough of a reason to stay "clean". I guess we are lucky it isn't narcotics.
