What’s wrong with this picture?
The irony between Ms. Williamson’s attitude toward the construction noise and her smoking while pregnant is obvious (and somewhat painful). According to a follow up article in the Roanoke Times “Smoking is estimated to account for 20 percent to 30 percent of low birth-weight babies, up to 14 percent of preterm deliveries and 10 percent of all infant deaths. Asthma is twice as likely in children whose mothers smoke more than 10 cigarettes per day.”
More on Ms. Williamson:
She didn’t finish high school. She hasn’t seen her father since she was 13. She has worked in fast food, but doesn’t have a job. She’s heard of the Internet but says that she’s never used it. Oh yeah, her husband, the father, also smokes.
