Rip that poor child. It will be better off not surviving it's birth.

Yeah, but it very likely will. Health care is good in Germany - at 8 months even with complications the child's chances of survival are very good. As it should be. But its development will have been impacted by its mother's smoking, and the consequences will be felt its entire life. Just because mommy couldn't exercise the self-control to put the cigarettes away while pregnant. Not that it's easy to overcome an addiction like that, but most expectant women see not poisoning their unborn child as a powerful motivation.

You would hope people loved their children enough to put aside their shitty habits. I've seen far too many children as accessories for their parents. It's so sad
