Two-year-old smokes 40 cigarettes a day

Indo Asian News Service

Ardi Rizal is just a two-year-old boy, but is not less than a chain smoker.

Rizal who lives in a fishing village Musi Banyuasin, Indonesia, smokes at least 40 cigarettes in a day. He got addicted to smoking after his father gave him a cigarette when he was just 18-months-old, reports thesun.co.uk.

He weighs more than 25 kilograms and finds it almost impossible to run with other kids.

"He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick," said his mother Daina.

Rizal smokes a particular brand and his habit costs his parents more than 5 USD a day.

The officials of the village have offered to buy the family a car if he quits.

However Rizal's father Mohammed, a fishmonger finds no problem with his habit and believes his son is quite healthy.

"He looks pretty healthy to me. I don't see the problem," said Mohammed.

“...I don’t see the problem,” said Mohammed.

(This line speaks for itself on a great many issues.)

Come back to me in 8 year's time when he's 10 (if he lives that long), buddy.

I don't think I could afford a two-pack-a-day habit. But it's nice to know that an Indonesian fishmonger has this kind of money.

an Indonesian fishmonger doesn’t have to pay U.S. sin taxes.

I'm no expert, but, I wonder if smashing his head against the wall might be the cause of the sick/dizzy feeling?

This is a direct result of the propoganda that children see on television. I blame Fred and Barney.

I agree....This is an adult person, or a highly manipulated video.
