Make sure that you keep an eye on that child, and at the first sign of neglect, call Child Protection. God knows we don't want anything to happen to the child, and we don't want the cycle to repeated yet again.

Good luck to your cousin.

Well, too late to do anything about the born-ing/birthing process. But it's not too late still to quit smoking and allow their child to grow. Second hand smoking supposedly takes more lives than smoking itself, each year. And whats even worse is the child may grow up accustomed to the scent and polluted-ness of smoking. So, there's a highly likely chance the child will eventually smoke as well.

If Chibi's cousin is so intent on smoking (considering she refused to stay at Chibi's place by fear of strict no-smoking conditions), then leave them alone. Let them see and understand what happens when you toy with a life. It's not fair that certain children are born under similar conditions every year and are forced to live a life of poverty. So, what makes what Chibi's cousin is doing any more righteous?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
