up to me, down to you

I saw a pregnant lady, ripe with life and, from the look of her distended belly, about 6 or 7 months in, smoking a cigarette. To make matters worse, she was blowing her secondhand right into the stroller of another toddler and contaminating his virgin lungs. I thought about saying something to her, but I didn't. This was downtown, in plain view of many other people too. She was hella rugged and fully hood but someone (like me) probably still should've said something. I'm sure she knows that what she was doing was stupid, selfish, and totally unhealthy for her, her unborn child, and the other baby in the stroller. Is it the obligation of society to step up and tell this fool how to conduct her life and raise her children?
