Women who smoke while pregnant are doing their babies a favor by helping their developing lungs adapt to the already polluted earth environment.

The gist of this report is that the babies deep lung sacs aren't completely developed until about the age of eight years; if society were to raise its children in a smoke-free environment until age eight and then turn them back over to their parents, the outcome would be greatly improved.

Of course, sequestering the mother during her pregnancy would better assure success if raising perfect children is the proper role of society.
