In today's local newspaper there was an Associated Press news article
entitled, "Smoking, drinking affect fertility".  Some quotes:  "Adults who
want to have children should pay closer attention to their habits, weight
and advancing age, says a new ad campaign.  Using the Internet and public
service announcements displayed on city buses, the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine asks men and women in their 20s and 30s to curb
smoking, drinking and using drugs.  The ads also say that people could have
trouble conceiving children if they've contracted sexually transmitted
diseases such a gonorrhea.....The groug will use provocative bus ads to
reach young adults.  One ad, depicting a baby bottle with a cigarette in it,
reads, "If You Smoke This Might Be Your Only Use for a Baby's Bottle."

Arrrggggggghhhh!
