I think that women should be educated about the effects that alcohol and smoking have on the baby. They can have some sort of class which would be given at the doctors appointments, or not even necessarily a class but an informational video. I also think that the insurance should have some sort of like benefit program, like Allstate (i believe) and their safe drivers program. If during the check ups the doctors find out that you haven't been smoking or drinking during the pregnancy, they will report it to the insurance agency and then the insurance can pay more, or pay the deductible, as a reward. I personally know someone who has 5 children, and three out of the five children have FAS, so obviously just education and past experiences aren't enough. People seem to respond to things really well when they personally get something out of it.
