Few days ago, I read an article that in Indonesia, there is one child is smoking 40 cigarettes per day. This child only 2 years old. His name is Ardi Rizal, Indonesian baby that make people around the world feel scared. His father told the reporter that he taught his son smoking last 18 months. His mother told the reporter that if Ardie doesn't smoke, he will get angry, scream, and feel sick. Ardie gains extra weight and can't play with his friends, so he has to sit on his baby car and smoke all day. His family spend 5 dollars per day for Ardie buy 2 packs of cigarettes. Government of Indonesia try to help this family but they don't sure that they can stop him or not. His father said that "I don't see any problem with him, he looks pretty and healthy to me."
I think Ardie has a lots of change to get pain and disease more than normal child. His father should control his behavior and decrease his chance to smoke. We can't blame anyone except his father that taught Ardie to smoke..
This is a sad news, he is very young. The cigarettes is damaging his health. And I think his parents need education. They shouldn't allow him to smoke.
