Letter: Smoking is child abuse
Pregnant women found smoking should be convicted of child abuse (‘New multi-agency bid to stop East Lancs mums smoking’, LT, May 6).
They are endangering their own babies and inflicting on them the most noxious, harmful carcinogen from which the child cannot escape.
The legislation should be changed immediately to reflect the severity of this offence.
