'Crack baby' study ends with unexpected but clear result

tobacco use and alcohol use are very different. We don't know if there's a safe level of alcohol, and we do know that it varies between different women.

We do know that any level of tobacco use is harmful to the mother and harmful to the child.

Please don't conflate the two.

> Prior to 1980 or so, whenever the media campaign began, massive numbers of people smoked, including pregnant women who didn't know any better.

You're ignoring all the people who were harmed by those smoking parents.

Every child born to a smoking mother is "harmed"? Depends on the definition of "harmed" I suppose.
