Closed Ban the sale and use of alcohol and cigarettes to visibly pregnant women.

Closed on

Smoking and drinking alcohol while pregnant severely damages the baby's health. When drinking alcohol it passes into the placenta and onto the baby, harming the unborn child.
It has been linked to a variety of health problems, including:
premature birth
low birth weight
cot death, miscarriage.

If the government has passed a law to ban smoking in the car with children under the age of 18, they must ban the sale and use of alcohol and cigarettes to pregnant women, carrying the people of the next generation.

Information has been taken from Gov.co.uk.
