everything i mentioned can cause potential harm, and infact some would argue they are way way more dangerous.
how about ingesting millions of carcinogens and chemicals ? 
But seriously , how do you see it being different than a mother who drives an oversized suv who's car burns carcinogens and chemicals for EVERYONE to breathe. Maybe its just me but i would think poisoning everyone is much worse than poisoning 1 person .. and thats completely ignoring the fact suv accidents kill more babies than smoking does.
1 billion people > 1 baby |
If you think wearing flat soled shoes is more harmful to an unborn child than it's mother smoking then I don't know what else to say to you.
Car pollution is bad but right now our entire society is based on the car. People and car manufacturers are trying to curb what they know is wrong by using electric cars. It would be impossible to change the entire situation of our car dependent society over night but what we can do as individuals is start using more public transport, ride a bike, walk, car pool or whatever. If you have that much of a problem with pollution, the effects of which would be minuscule compared to those on a fetus from a smoking mother, then going and live in the jungle somewhere. Adults have choices, unborn children do not.
