Smoking linked to Miscarriages?

Smoking is being linked to miscarriages. This doesn’t bode very well for Japan’s birthrate, given some 30+% of females smoke. I’m sure secondhand smoking is linked in some way too, so even if the woman stopped, the rediculously high smoking male percentage won’t help much either. Unfortunately these reports aren’t circulated enough since the gov’t has huge investments in Japan Tobacco. Hopefully these invesments will shed as JT’s decline increases. Maybe a little civil disobedience is in order….
