Basher Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Unreal. Story, complete with video A video has emerged of an Indonesian toddler who is hooked on cigarettes.The footage shows two-year-old Ardi Rizal reclining with a cigarette in his mouth. He waves it around, and draws back deeply on the cigarette.Ardi's parents claim that the child is addicted to nicotine.His mother Diana 26, told Britain's Sun newspaper she felt powerless to deny the child."He's totally addicted," she said."If he doesn't get his cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick."Ardi Rizal smoked his first cigarette when he was 18 months old and now smokes 40 cigarettes a day.The overweight toddler is deft at blowing smoke rings, but is so unfit he cannot play with other children."I'm not worried about his health and— he looks healthy," his father told reporters.There has been an increase in the number of smokers aged between four and nine in Indonesia over recent years.Authorities have blamed aggressive advertising and smoking parents.According to the Sun, Indonesian officials have offered to buy the family a car if the boy quits.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Hey, they did it! Chain-Smoking Indonesian Boy Kicks Habit (AP) JAKARTA, Indonesia - Indonesia's smoking toddler has kicked the habit. Footage of 2-year-old Aldi Rizal -- who smoked up to two packs a day -- puffing away circulated the Internet in May and sparked an international outcry. His parents said he'd throw tantrums every time they tried to stop him from lighting up.Psychologist Seto Mulyadi, who took the child into his own home as part of rehabilitation efforts, said Friday the boy has stopped asking for cigarettes. He said Aldi picked up the habit because virtually every man in his fishing village in South Sumatra province smokes. When removed from that environment, and offered a wide range of activities, including playing and drawing, he no longer had the urge, the psychologist said. Aldi's father gave him his first cigarette when he was just 18-months-old, relatives have said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
