She might as well be strangling the baby around the neck. The smoking has been and is depriving its developing brain from receiving enough oxygen, and there is a chance she'll deliver before the nine months are up, so the lungs will not be fully developed and will have to stay in one of those bubbles for a while in the hospital. The baby is going to be born with so many negatives against its potential...yet she says that she does not think the 20/day affects the pregnancy. She's just 12, so she is not expected to be smart enough, but her mother should face neglect charges.
