False. An unborn child will always be subjected
to nicotine addiction if the mother is nicotine dependent. This is because
whatever the mother puts inside her body will be directly absorbed by the fetus
through the placenta. Nicotine is a type of chemical that can be absorbed by
the blood. An unborn child is dependent to her mother's physical capability to
bear. When a mother has high
levels of nicotine in the blood, the baby will be absorbing this which may lead not only to addiction but also to other
physical abnormalities and brain disorders.
