Question by Some Girl: Serious Answers Please?
My boyfriend used to be heavily into drugs. He has been to rehab and no longer does anything but drink and smoke (not cigarettes) which kind of bothers me but I am not one to change another person. Anyways, we are planning in moving in together within the next 4-5 months and things are pretty serious. We have even talked about having children later after moving in together. My question is this, because he used to do drugs and still smokes, when we have children, will there be any chance of harm or risks? Should I ask him to stop a month or so before trying? I’m really curious and concerned. I want healthy children, I just don’t know how smoking or doing drugs in the past would effect the baby.
Just to clear up a little – he doesn’t do all drugs anymore. He used to do alot. Now it’s just smoking. And he doesn’t drink heavily. Hardly at all anymore. I just added that in because he does do it sometimes.

Drugs are NEVER good for the fetus and resulting children. He should be clean and free of these habits and all traces of them in his system before you even consider attemtping to become pregant with his child.
