Pregnant women should not smoke. It does affect the foetus. As a responsible mom, one should not smoke… Baby’s health is utmost priority and it is the duty of the mother to give birth to a healthy child….

Ironic! Let us not forget the effect of alcohol, drugs and stress to babies, too.

And a very good reminder for us too. We should always remember that what we believe is a long established given may not be trickling down yet to everybody. We should continue on and do our part. Thanks for this post and thanks for the mention.

FAS is a real problem in cultures where alcohol pervades. a 9mth abstinence isn’t very attractive when the risks are not for sure (“i might as well take a chance”) and authorities release conflicting advice. (what IS THEIR PROBLEM?!)

a drug could prevent FAS apparently:
