Teenagers 'smoke to ease labour'

This is scandalous!

Apparently, teenagers are aware that smoking while pregnant can stunt the babies growth.

Therefore, they smoke intentionally while pregnant so the child will be smaller and ultimately have an easier birth.

Who is educating these kids? Is this a case of 'part-education' where some of the facts are given, but not all the facts that would ensure that the person can make an informed decision or viewpoint?

But this is just a social extension of the genetically designed babies furor that is occuring throughout the world. The working classes just can't afford the DNA treatments, so they use natural resources.

But either way, it's obvious they either don't have an understanding of the healthrisks, to both mother and child, in their minds or they just don't care.

Another point in favour of my idea that you should be psychometrically tested prior to being allowed to bear children.

Horrendous human rights issues though, but I never said I wouldn't be a despot!
