A Chain Smoking Baby? Really?

SodaHead Living 2010/05/28 23:00:00
Jaws have been dropping all over the world this week at the sight of a chain-smoking, two year-old baby.
 
Indonesian toddler Ardi Rizal reportedly smokes up to 40 cigarettes a day, having become hooked after his father, Mohammed, gave him his first cigarette at the age of 18 months. Ardi’s distraught Mom weeps, “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.”
 
The video also shows Ardi, who is also clearly overweight, attempting to ride on a toy truck. The two year-old quickly becomes frustrated and winded over his inability to push the truck up the slightest of inclines. To manage his frustration, he sparks up another one.
 
Officials in Musi Banyuasin, Indonesia, have offered to buy the family a vehicle if they can get the toddler off the smokes. But fishmonger Dad isn’t going for it, saying with a shrug, “He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem.”
 
Should these parents be punished? Since they are clearly endangering this baby’s life, should the baby be removed from their care? Or is this just cultural snobbery? I mean, Happy Meals aren’t good for two year-olds either…

You!

    Of course they should be punished! That baby may look healthy, but if you see what's inside of its lungs and so forth, you'd be disgusted! That poor, child! Who in their right minds would give it a cigarette? That's sad, imagine someone giving YOU a cigarette as a child, they'd be killing you, without you even know. If the kid could understand, what that's doing to him, he'd say his parents need to be punished too.

    Seriously? Happy Meals? Those things will not turn your lungs black! Smoking can immediately kill some, while Happy Meals come with cute toys to make kids "happy". All in all, Happy Meals are fine in moderation, smoking is not.

    the dad will be punished when he buries his kid before he's 20. then maybe he'll think about what he's done.

    Yes, they should be punished for letting him smoke and for letting him get so fat when they can control his diet and what he puts in his body when they still have him at home with them, they need to control it before he becomes a statistic.

    terrible parents, why exactky did the father see it fit to let his baby light up. "he looks healthy to me" maybe that's because the father is smoking something himself. Also ofcourse he looks healthy now because he hasn't been smoking for that long but the changes will be evident when he is 10 and looks 40!! The father is responsible for this, this is sick.

    I don't think so. It was an article in the Washington Post just 4 days ago. I doubt he quit and aged 2 years in a matter of a few days.

    At 18 months?! are these people insane?! Social Services need to take the child away from them- they are being irresponsible and not acting at all like parents.
    This is why idiots need to keep it in their pants- they just end up harming others. >:(

    WOW, to state the obvious of course the father should be punished for this ,it is absolutely irresponsible and there is no parenting going on here as we can all see. The kid is over weight and smoking cigarettes, while what appears to be adults watching him smoke his lungs off, and the six kids in the background are suffering as well, "second hand smoke anyone?". UNBELIEVABLE!! To say the least, everyone around this child should have a good ol smackin in the mouth, or just a lesson in common sense. If anyone has watched this more than once the child took at least ten hits in sixty seconds. understanding they stopped the tape but it still leaves him with a puff every six seconds, that's two breaths of air and then some stogie. This was the most disturbing video i have ever seen and i wish there was something i could personally do, but there not, except this comment i have posted. no doubt about it this kid will grow up to hate his father or "sperm donor", not to sure he deserves to be called a father, and he will have a very unhealthy and hard life if something doesn't happen fast. I hope this kid is saved by someone fast and when he quits smoking i think dad should have to sit in the back seat of the new car!

    look at this baby!! its hair is faling out and it's probably verry sick inside.That baby will die unless help comes!! 2 packs a day is worse than my mom's one and a half day pack! I would be living under a rock and hideing my baby from the public.BUT most importantly, i would get my baby help,some f'n help, because that baby is cring out for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    i think that the dad should have the child go away with his mother,and to that mom:GET THAT BABY HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... :(

    He'll probably be the first 5 year old in an iron lung. Take that kid away from them, and wean him off the damn things! Geez! The parents of this kid should be not only fined, but forced to eat a carton of cigarettes or two. What idiots!
