It's very hard to prove correlations when there are so many variables anyway, but so much has changed in the time between us being kids and today, that the variables that affected us as kids are different to those affecting the current generations.
Smoking can't possibly help. Other factors such as road pollution will probably "self heal" over time, but in the meantime preventing smoking among new foster parents and helping existing foster parents to quit will be seen as a positive step forward, however small.
Of course, the cynic in me wonders if this is a prelude to giving less money to foster parents, as the need to fund an addiction is removed...
