icWales - We have known for years that smoking harms your baby

Absolutely awful. How any mother could do this is so beyond me that I can not even comrehend it. It is one thing to smoke (and harm your own health), but to smoke around others, or in the worst case while pregnant is repugnant.

icWales - We have known for years that smoking harms your baby: "The 'shocking' number of women who risk causing serious damage to their unborn children by smoking while pregnant has been branded 'a great worry for the health of the nation'.

The research has found that 29.1% of women smoke during pregnancy.

The study, funded by Cardiff University, was designed to explore the link between smoking and anti-social behaviour, but made the surprising discovery during the course of the investigation."
