Two Year Old Baby, Smoking – A two year old kid smokes 40 cigarettes a day. What do you think of that? His father started giving him cigarettes when he was still 18 months and is now weighing 50 pounds and Never did he tried to avoid it because he is already addicted to nicotine. The child’s name is Ardi Rizal, a baby from Indonesia Based on the interview (courtesy of the Sun) His mom said Ardi is so addicted with cigarette that when does not get one, he goes wild and screams all around and says that he feels dizzy. His father is not concerned about his health but the child has already problems dealing with other children in the neighborhood. The government offered his family to buy a car if the kid can stop but he cannot. The people were shocked upon seeing this video that I will give it to you below. This shows that the parents of this child is not teaching good morals to this kid and now is obese and obsessed with smoking.

an obese smoker,, thats new to me,,,,especially in someone whose metabolism should already be so high


what possesses parents to put children in such addictive and harfmul situations?

Sorry, I stopped reading after "the Sun".

I know exactly what you mean.

Too unfortunate, but it is really a sorry state. The child was not aloud to make his own choice in life.

ignorance is a bliss.

So? What's the difference between the parents smoking and the kid being poisoned by secondhand smoke? My understanding is that smoking is less dangerous then sucking it in secondhand.

most don't choose for themselves..parents do.

I'm a smoker and I haven't smoked inside for over 20 years...nor in my car with them. That's the difference. Out of 3 one smokes..the other 2 hate it and I am very aware of their feeling's about it.

I wonder why it is called second hand if its affects are MORE severe....I think its probably not as dangeruos to be around someone smoking in fumes than to be the one breathing it in directly


but I do have issue with secondhand smoke

In answer to your question, yes, I consider it child abuse. A child of that age cannot consent to smoking voluntarily.

yeah..it is abuse..like putting vodka in their bottle, same mentality, sort of. I think those who booze their babies to knock them out is strange enough...but to teach a child to smoke, kinda strange.
