How can the cigarette-induced fetal damage be prevented?

Cigarette smoking is not only harmful to an individual, but it is particularly detrimental during the reproductive period, when it may not only harm the unborn child, but may also damage the reproductive capacity of the next generation. The most important point that can be made about cigarette-induced fetal damage is that it is totally preventable and only by informing both prospective parents about the potential dangers of tobacco smoking before conception, and particularly the dangers of maternal smoking whilst pregnant, can we hope to reduce these ever increasing statistics of pre-term births, low birth weight infants and children presently suffering from various neuro-developmental disorders and general ill-health.
