21 Read the text. Point out the sentences with modal verbs and their equivalents. Translate into Ukrainian:

Considering that the most regular and the heaviest smokers are presently found among women and men in childbearing years, it is most important that information about the harmful effect of tobacco in reproduction is available and widely disseminated among the general public and, in order to achieve this, the following steps should be taken forthwith:

1) Local Education Authorities should include in their health education curricula specific information about the dangers of cigarette smoking by both partners before pregnancy and particularly when pregnant.

2) Leaflets containing the above information should also be widely distributed and available in all doctors’ surgeries, hospital waiting room, libraries, family planning clinics, etc.

3) The Government should instruct the tobacco industry to alter the current warning “Tobacco seriously damages health” to “Tobacco damages health and causes serious harm to the unborn child. Do not smoke while pregnant”.

The most salient point that can be made about cigarette induced fetal damage is that it is totally preventable and only by informing both prospective parents of the potential dangers of tobacco smoking before conception, and particularly the dangers of maternal smoking while pregnant, can we hope to reduce these ever increasing statistics of the pre-term births, low birth weight infants and children presently suffering from various neurodevelopmental disorders and general ill-health. All expectant mothers should be made distinctly aware that everything they consume during pregnancy is also consumed by their unborn child. Cigarettes are no exception; so when a mother smokes, she likewise invariably forces her unborn baby to consume cigarettes at a similar rate, with all its unpleasant side-effects and frightening consequences. If all would-be mothers were to understand this extremely unpleasant thought, this should most certainly act as the strongest initiative to discontinue the smoking habit, at least while pregnant, and hopefully forever. Furthermore, it should be stressed that both prospective parents should stop cigarette smoking about four months before the planned pregnancy to ensure that both the ovum and sperm are as healthy as possible before the conception takes place. If we could effectively foster the simple fact that both prospective parents are equally responsible for the health of their unborn child, most of the tragedies discussed in this paper could be easily avoided and, at the same time, this could be a major philosophical advance towards recognition of the great importance of preventive medicine.
