That is a matter of opinion. But the fact you/we/they can't remove the mothers freedom of choice means they start programs to help encourage quitting, like the one above.
I hadn't really considered that but I suspose it may be to some.
Maybe the food voucher money would be better spent on sterilising said women.

I would have thought the likelihood of you harming your own child irreparably and possibly killing it would have been incentive enough??
Addicted to other substances?
It's a disgusting habit I wish I'd never started! Young and idiotic equals smoking is cool. Such a knob.
To be fair though I enjoy it and I don't know why that's why I'm finding it hard to quit although I know it's doing me nothing but harm I enjoy it...
You don't enjoy it, you're just addicted.

. You're most likely right .Did you buy the horse with the money saved by quitting?
.Because aside from smoking costing the NHS a fortune the taxes earned from cigarettes is vastly greater than the cost on the NHS.
Ban smoking and the NHS collapses overnight

Get vaping noob, not smoked a ciggy for 2 years now.
I'm looking into it. Considering a V2 as it looks exactly like a cig but carbon fibre therefore it's cooler
.
I find that the yellowed teeth, foul breath and the overpowering stale tobacco stench works a treat.
What's that got to do with trying to get pregnant women to give it up? If those things bothered them they'd have given up long ago.
My teeth are still white. I do know what you're saying about the smell even as a smoker I can still smell when others have had a fag its most unpleasant. Stupidly I can't smell it on myself although I know it's got to be there.

I could buy two horses with the amount I've saved!
Worth reading Alan Carrs book, I never stopped when I read it. But when I did quit (over two years from reading the book) more and more of the book made sense.
Not quite sure where you got this little gem from...
In order to drive, attend university, have a job, or work in the community you have to pass a rigorous screening process and be evaluated as suitable to be allowed to do so.
Having and raising a child, the most difficult and responsible task in someone's life - any idiot or pair of idiots is free to do so.
Is it just me who finds this mildly disturbing? I am not by any means implying all parents are idiots, the vast majority are obviously not
On topic: How is this supposed to encourage people to give up smoking, surely once the mother has her "reward" she'll go back to smoking around her new born.
