Are you sure it's the
only reason, and not just
one of the reasons?
A kid in Derbyshire has been taken into care and
one of the reasons cited was he'd been allowed to become obese. The headline makes it sound like his weight was the deciding factor, but the other reasons haven't picked up on by the press presumably because they are the same as every other kid who ends up in care and therefore aren't very "newsworthy".
I'm not passing opinion on the suitability of smokers as fosters. I've never smoked, so my opinion is bound to be biased...
