Comment on Women should give up vaping if they want to get pregnant, study suggests

Why can’t this be “Vapes and tobacco lower women’s fertility rates?”
Sure everyone should not smoke. But why is this worded as the responsibility of the woman?
What if a couple smokes and the woman is willing to stop, but the man doesn’t want to because this only says that women should stop?
Why is this not, at least partially, the responsibility of the companies marketing a highly addictive product with no health benefits?

Are we back to the time of not knowing second hand smoke introduces a lot of the same health risks as first hand smoke? Anyone would be able to infer that women that want to get pregnant shouldn’t smoke from the proposed headline, but they might think a bit more about their own contributions to the health of others.

Because its the responsibility of adults to make healthy choices for themselves? Vape companies aren’t going to peoples houses and pumping vapor into peoples houses while they sleep.

I did say the blame can be shared.
People aren’t going around growing their own tobacco plants bland turning that into vape juice.
What healthy use does nicotine have to continue to be sold?

That’s the test group used in the study. Not everything is a sexist by default…

If one person of a couple is trying to quit, but the other person of a couple won’t quit, it makes it hard for the person trying to quit.
Not everything is sexist.
