   This is wrong a child that is two years old has no business smoking…he can die…and another thing his parents think it is funny and when the child lungs are damaged with lung cancer they will reget the fact that they let their son smoke….i dont think its the childs fault, because he is only 2…but the more you give your child the cigarettes the more he will want…and of course he is gonna get mad he doesnt know any better…somebody needs to step up!

   That’s Hilarious!

   This is not uncommon in third world countries. Can’t expect much more from dirt poor, uneducated people.

   This is disgusting. How can a parent laugh when they are hurting a child or anyone else for that matter.

   YAY for smoking!

7. popovic - 28 May 2010 | 02:06

   

   It is more than ridiculous for me to see a smoking baby especially a 2 year old baby.May God help us in this our generation.

   Ardi Rizal , the 2-year-old boy who is from Sumatra, Western Indonesia, is reported to smoke up to 40 cigarettes a day is going to die at the age of fifteen because of lung and throat cancer.

    Idiots!

11. ma - 28 May 2010 | 18:22

    

    this is very sad when you see a 2 year old smoking and the parents sitting there and enjoying it as if were perfectly fine. perhaps someone should educate those people as to the long term efeects…

    Sacrifice or Murder?…

    I found your entry interesting thus I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog …

13. Tanya K - 28 May 2010 | 18:35

    

    Interesting, we all look at the family, and not a word about the educated, well researched, money earning industry that continues to produce these products that kill us, instead we too blame and punish the family.

14. tony - 28 May 2010 | 22:03

    

    Not sure but i think this could be a fake video, ’cause i can’t think of anyone doing that to their own son.

15. pretty-sexy - 29 May 2010 | 21:39

    

    something is mentally wrong with india people if they was to come out here and do that to they kids they would be in jail but the reason y they stay out there is because they can get away with it and i think the dad sounds really dumb cuz all he”s doing is killing his child at 2yrs old

16. Matt - 30 May 2010 | 09:06

    

    Brilliant technique, that has to be jis after sex cigarette!

17. Mavie Gammuac - 31 May 2010 | 14:35

    

    poor kid. he smokes too much, it will affect him when he gets older. the father is ridiculous, too, he taught his son too, how to smoke! i feel pity for the kid.

18. Mavie Gammuac - 31 May 2010 | 14:37

    

    poor kid. he smokes too much, it will affect him when he gets older. the father is ridiculous, too, he taught his son too, how to smoke! i feel pity for the kid. how can his parents laugh while he smokes like that while damaging his and others lungs?!

19. IndyWrite - 31 May 2010 | 14:51

    

    I fail to see why U.S. or U.K. people feel they have to nanny other countries.
    The kid looks spoiled rotten. He’s fat, ill mannered and I don’t believe he’s only two years old. Those people are small in stature. I saw this video/article somewhere else depicting the country as India. Get your story right.

    SHOCKING

    These people are insane.

    BUY TOBACCO STOCK!!!!!

25. reuk07 - 01 June 2010 | 21:42

    

    Am really shocked at this discovery, because i never expeccted such a thing from an 11 year old; not to talk of a 2 year old. I wish there was something I could do to reduce,(if not stop) the level of smoking. This child’s health could be damaged terribly in the next few years if he doesn’t stop. I just hope it’s not too late for him. I’ve learnt from this little boy’s story. I just wish there was a way I could help…

26. jareb ashford - 02 June 2010 | 03:37

    

    i think the cheese burgers are gonaa kill that fatty before the cigarettes do.

27. cathy - 02 June 2010 | 08:12

    

    parents should be put in to jail for being irresponsible…child should be rehabilitated and be adopted by a responsible social welfare…SHAME FOR THE IRRESPONSIBLE PARENTS!

28. chronicles - 02 June 2010 | 22:34

    

    why he the parent leave the small boy smoke like that

29. Linge - 03 June 2010 | 02:31

    

    The father of this poor child is the idiot to blame in all of this. he was the one that introduced smoking to his child in the first place. what a useless, irresponsible and STUPID father!

30. xerxes - 04 June 2010 | 07:26

    

    it is indeed a shame for the parents of the child but what can we do? saying anything about the video is useless not unless we stop the manufacturing of cigarettes or regulating the sale like a prescriptive medicine? it may sound crazy but what else can we suggest to avoid smoking other than stopping its production. that’s what i thought of….

31. xerxes - 04 June 2010 | 07:35

    

    what can we expect from a third world country like indonesia where corruption is at its best? i think the best way to quit smoking is to ban the production and plantation of tobacco, treating it like a prohibited drug…..anyway nobody cares because if tobaco production is stopped business would drop, and people who worke on the production would starve. think its the balance of nature to lessen the population by dying younger….again i say who cares?

32. Jennna - 05 June 2010 | 17:42

    

    notice the cigerette doesnt burn down..? doesnt ash or anything, ehh fake!

33. Annette Jacott - 07 June 2010 | 09:33

    

    I feel it should be against the law to give life to a child and then they feel they have a right to kill them. Parents who are ignorant about life itself is not the fault of a child.This short video scared me for the 2yr old baby. The parents should pay the consequences for slowly committing murder. The law should be protecting these children not become part of what the parents are doing. If the law is aware and does nothing they also should hang.
    1 CORINTHIANS 6:19-20 says ( Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourselves but to God; He bought you for a price. So use your bodies for God’s glory.)Save the children.

34. VicNic - 09 June 2010 | 06:18

    

    I think its awesome…I mean, its not my kid, but I def think he should be in the genus book of world records for that…At LEAST lol

35. VicNic - 09 June 2010 | 06:20

    

    @Jennna You’re a dumb ass.

36. LNA - 09 June 2010 | 15:42

    

    this kid does not really know how to smoke and know nothing about smoking, parents should be sent to jail.

37. Dr Indira SahajwallaMD - 12 June 2010 | 17:17

    

    i want eo see this article again &again.It unbelievable.There can not be better antismoking slogan,it will scare the adults smoking,It is ultimate in history of humanity.Children have to be groomed and nutured,loved,so that they grow to healthy happy child.

38. bablo - 13 June 2010 | 01:22

45. charlie - 16 June 2010 | 12:35

    

    what a chubby disgrace

46. Rose - 16 June 2010 | 20:45

    

    This video made me sick to my stomach when I saw it. This child needs to be removed from it’s home and cared for correctly. It’s ‘fits’ are no doubt due to nicotine addiction. I hope something is done about this. This child’s parents have no right having children. You wouldn’t let your pet dog as a puppy eat something that was harmful to it’s health much less a child.

47. Debra Burks - 25 June 2010 | 20:50

    

    FAKE

48. Debra Burks - 25 June 2010 | 20:52

    

    Really….look and the cig is fake…doesn’t burn down.

49. Amanda - 30 June 2010 | 20:03

    

    This boy is seriously over weight and he smokes thats crazy. What is wrong with these parents, they should have charges filed against them. So what if the child thows tantrums, all kids do, so you let them cry, they can;t always have their way. Thats part of growing up and if you can’t handle that then don’t have kids. People like that don’t deserve to have kids and why isn’t someone stepping in? There is nothing funny about this and they are killing that kid, and that’s abuse

50. Jamariye - 02 July 2010 | 07:55

    

    I have kids myself.And I wish I would catch one of them with a cigarette or a rolled up peice of paper acting like they about to smoke!!

51. asif - 09 July 2010 | 13:34

    

    very bad

52. rudi - 09 July 2010 | 17:13

    

    have watched the video and i see alot of editing going on. i don’t speak the language so i cant comment on that…… if you “really” watch is he inhaling? still not a good thing. but hey here in the states someone is made “big” by being in self promoted affairs! is this the case…. probably not!

53. lula - 15 July 2010 | 01:51

    

    tony – Not sure but i think this could be a fake video, ’cause i can’t think of anyone doing that to their own son.

    tony, i’m pretty sure this is real, because i’ve seen this on the news on television. i don’t think they’d air something that is fake.

    but yes, this is completely wrong for a child of this age to be addicted to smoking and even ALLOWED to smoke by the parents. everybody keeps mentioning things about how the parents are stupid people. maybe they are, but keep in mind that THEY DO NOT LIVE IN AMERICA. the parents are obvious not well educated, and saying that they should have “charges filed against them” wouldn’t be very effective because they live in indonesia. i’m sure things are MUCH DIFFERENT there. i am not saying that i support children smoking, in fact i find it disgusting and wrong, but many of the comments are just ridiculous.

    This is the reason tsunami strikes Indonesia.

55. mnyembezi - 04 August 2010 | 23:06

    

    God must be angry towards this family.i think this is just a curse.but i believe it can be fixed.let them kneel down and pray

56. JESUS - 18 August 2010 | 05:17

    

    LOL,this is very interesting.They should just put his parents down and the child aswell if can’t stop smoking.

57. Its Me - 27 August 2010 | 14:07

    

    its not all in asean country, in Malaysia, chils that is 6 years old also cannot even try 1 cigarettes, their parents will extremely angry and punish their son if they tried to smoke, in Malaysia, 50% smokers are from Indonesia, Philipines and other country, not all people in Malaysia like to smoke, they hate it and knows the risk..

58. dr.howard357 - 30 August 2010 | 09:15

    

    wow

59. Teddy - 02 September 2010 | 17:37

    

    Here’s to see what a lack of education causes to simple people. It’s unbearable that Asian governments do so little about proper education. The only thing counts is: Can I score on this project?

60. Janet - 02 September 2010 | 21:43

    

    it’s all the dad’s fault, he gave the boy his first cigarette. and i cannot believe they are laughing while he’s smoking and saying he’s in perfect health!?!?

61. sara - 03 September 2010 | 13:52

    

    mr leo and others this is really bad but it is not an opportunity to insult other societies because your “clean” and “educated” world is full of things that nobody could imagine. after all cigrattes are your invention(output of your civilization).

62. catsrlove - 04 September 2010 | 06:40

    

    This is so sad and pathetic. His parents should be punished. It makes me sick to see this innocent baby tainted with addiction. Why would someone do this to their child. This baby needs to be taken away from his parents.

63. amir - 04 September 2010 | 23:40

    

    should not encourage the kids for the same

64. amir - 04 September 2010 | 23:41

    

    its should not be encouraged either to display the vedio or to smoke
