Smoking two year old Ardi Rizal on 40 cigarettes a day | Mail Online

That's insane.
At the very least somebody get that kid a vaporizer or a portable Vapor Genie. Yeesh!

But, despite local officials' offer to buy the Rizal family a new car if the boy quits, his parents feel unable to stop him because he throws massive tantrums if they don't indulge him.

His mother, Diana, 26, wept: '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.'

Wow -- Unable to stop him because he throws tantrums????? what 2 year old doesn't throw tantrums?

and seriously in a few of those shots he looks like the next words out of his mouth are gonna be "somebody bring me a beer!"

Gosh. If they can't deal with the kid at 2, what are they going to do when he's a teenager? If he lives that long...

[Jhax129]

That's one of the craziest things I've seen in a long time. Speechless.

First off, if this story IS true, the parents are the stupidest people in Indonesia. Secondly, the stats listed in the story are a little misleading, talking about all the kids who've tried a cigarette like it's some new, disturbing trend. I tried a cigarette when I was little, I hated it, and I never smoked one again. Kids do that all the time.

But the image covers up a much more disturbing truth: At just the tender age of two, Ardi Rizal's health has been so ruined by his 40-a-day habit that he now struggles to move by himself.

So how much of a tantrum can he really manage if he has trouble moving?

Yep, can't ever have your kid be unhappy.

[Some Idiot]

no way, is this for real..... how can you not have control over your 2 year old?

Some people are not meant to be parents. I wish there was a way to detect them and had them sterilized.

and who decides who isnt fit to be parents?

Agree... the moment we were to make laws about moral issues things get messed up... wait...never mind it happens everyday.

One of the "exposes" shows had video from this same shoot showing him smoking-so it ain't photoshop.

But Yeah kids will try a cigarette, especially if the parents smoke, but it usually isn't until they are 6 or 7, now a lot of younger boys will play with matches-some innate interest in fire.
