No one can ignore that smoking during pregnancy is very harmful to the embryo, the fetus, the baby and the adult it will become. Tobacco companies were required to write this in large letters on their packages, however, the ministries did not evaluate the impact of this health education delegated to merchants.
We should require the manufacture of much larger packs of at least two hundred cigarettes to have room to write the list of proven risks: prematurity, low birth weight, fetal malformations, congenital heart defects, cognitive disorders, behavioral disorders in childhood and adolescence, hyperactivity, slowing of brain growth, academic and psycho-social difficulties. The children born from these pregnancies will in turn have more addictive behaviors to tobacco and alcohol. They will be more often obese and girls will have more gestational diabetes. The risk of sudden infant death and perinatal mortality will be significantly higher. The bones of these babies will be more fragile with a higher risk of fracture before one year. The risk of bipolar illness will be higher. The risk of infectious diseases and allergies will be higher. Photos should be added to the packages showing alterations in neurons and white matter and chromosomal modifications of the 11q23 region involved in leukemia.
It would also be necessary to make larger bottles of the various sodas to write the list of risks linked to obesity in the event of pregnancy. They share almost all the risks of tobacco through prematurity and low birth weight. To this must be added a higher risk of cerebral palsy.
As for cannabis during pregnancy, it combines all the disadvantages of tobacco and obesity.
Some experts accuse these pregnant women of crimes against humanity. Their lawyers cite extenuating circumstances: they are often less educated, poorer and more often single.
However, there are worse things. Antidepressants and paracetamol widely prescribed during pregnancy impact the neurological development of the child. Thalidomide, Distilbene and Dépakine, long prescribed to pregnant women for their own good, have placed epigenetic marks on the embryos which are passing through generations.
Cannabis is now prescribed to combat nausea in pregnant women and people no longer hesitate to prescribe opioids for various pains.
Not only have doctors’ warnings not been enough to eradicate tobacco during pregnancy, but medicine is also trying to replace it with much worse in non-smoking pregnant women.
