Smoking is definitely harmful
to an adult who has a strong immune system and can survive strong torture from
the toxicity that comes from smoking. However, the case can’t be said of a baby,
let alone an unborn child.
In this case, Khloé Kardashian
has faced a lot of denigration about her pregnant behavior ever since December
last year she disclosed it to the world.
First, it was that her baby
bump was “too small.” Then, it was that she was injuring her baby by working
out too much.
Now, she’s in hot water again
after her sister, Kourtney Kardashian, posted an Instagram photo of her
apparently smoking.
The 33-year-old soon-to-be mom
came under fire on Thursday after Kourtney shared a picture of her and her best
friend, Malika Haqq, smoking while playing with wads of cash. Though it’s
unclear what Khloé is exactly smoking, the picture shows her blowing a stream
of smoke out of her mouth, while pretending to use a stack of dollar bills as a
phone.
Immediately, the photo was
lambasted by fans who criticized Khloé for smoking while pregnant. The
commenters accused Khloé—who is expecting her first child with her boyfriend,
Tristan Thompson—of hurting her baby by inhaling smoke and taking in harmful
chemicals.
A few comments included: one
said, “You are pregnant and doing this kind of things don’t be surprised if
your baby is born unhealthy.” Another, “Girl you smoking while pregnant.” Still
another, “Khloe why are you smoking? That’s really not a good thing when you get
pregnant! You will hurt your baby!”
Meanwhile, Khloé’s supporters were
quick to explain that the picture was likely a throwback.
In addition, given how much
research Khloé put into seeing if she could even exercise while pregnant, you
would think that she would know better than to smoke. The pregnant-shaming
trolls can take a seat now.
