UK Health Group Wants to Test All Pregnant Women for Smoking
NICE has recommended that all pregnant women should be given carbon monoxide tests in order to determine whether or not they’re smoking, so that they can be given advice on quitting.
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said carbon monoxide tests should be carried out on every expectant mother.
If implemented, every woman would have the breath test at her first ante-natal appointment.
Midwives criticised the test, saying it could make the women feel “guilty”.
NICE said the guidelines were not aimed at penalising smokers but were designed to help women and their families give up smoking during and after pregnancy.
“During pregnancy, smoking puts the health of the women and her unborn baby at great risk both in the short and long-term, and small children who are exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to suffer from respiratory problems,” Professor Mike Kelly, Nice director of the centre of public health excellence, said.
Hittade ovanstående på ONTD_Feminism, och tjaa... Alla vet ju om att kvinnor är lögnaktiga slynor som kommer att ljuga vare sig de är rökare eller inte om man frågar dem om de röker, det ligger ju i kvinnors gener att förvrida sanningen.
