Emma refused to quit smoking during pregnancy: - Now she has taken a choice

Emma Rahbek from Roerslev had really specific.

She would continue to smoke through her pregnancy, and it could be a new proposal on the financial reward to quit smoking.

But according to Ekstra Bladet and TV2 Fyn, have brought articles about Emma Rahbeks controversial choice, she has changed the mind. Now the 21-year hf-students no longer smoking. The cigarettes are instead smoked a stroll in the trash, she says to Ekstra Bladet.

Society - 11. apr. 2019 - at. 11:19 Emma is pregnant and smoking: A reward is bloody stupid.

Isabella, as daughter, called, come, if all goes according to the plan, to the world in a few months. And she must not find that the mother smoking, explains Emma Rahbek.

- the Interview (about the reason to smoke during pregnancy, red.) put some thoughts in me. I began to think differently, and I got to see more clearly the consequences of smoking. Man is selfish, and one can not disregard its own needs, if you smoke during pregnancy, I think.

Why has Emma Rahbek now been smoke-free since the weekend. And even though it is hard to stop smoking from one day to the other, she is glad that the choice is made, she explains to Extra Bladet.

- It has been hard, but I took the decision, that I started to get it bad in my pregnancy, so it made more sense to me. Now I can't see any reason to continue, and I have said to myself that I should stop, before Isabella comes into the world, so the promise I will keep.

the Proposal does not
In march, a controversial proposal for a cash reward of 1000 crowns for pregnant smokers, if they drop the cigarettes, for real TV2 Fyn users to the keys. Emma Rahbek gave not much for the idea, when she was first presented for the.

- I sit down even as a smoker and would be able to get benefit of this offer if I stopped. But I think it is a little bit absurd, for it should not be a reward that did it, it sounded earlier from the hf-student.

And Emma Rahbek states that her decision to ditch the cigarettes are still not to be seen in the light of a possible financial reward.

- If you stop smoking, you can save many hundred bucks a month, so what will 1000 dollars help a semi-annual basis, saith the cash response.

- I have chosen to stop smoking, because I think of myself and my child. That's it, that should get people to stop, and not a financial gain. I do not think that it is fair that others have to pay in order to get people to drop the cigarettes during pregnancy.

On the island of Fyn, it is only in the Odense Municipality, to have taken a position on the proposal.

In mid-march elected a majority consisting of Unity, the Radical Left, in SF, the Danish people's Party and the Social democratic party in Odense Municipality the green light to proceed with the controversial proposal.
