Ardi Riza is a 2 year-old Indonesian boy who cannot stop smoking. At the tender age of 18 months old, he had his first cigarette which was given to him by his father. He cannot stop smoking now! What the hell is wrong with people nowadays? Tsk. If he continues to do that, he won't live very long.

Hi, I could not beleive my eyes, a baby, (thats all he is, really), not, only being allowed to smoke, encouraged by his dad to do so, who, apparently, can see, no harm in this, what planet is he on? This is neglect, of the worst kind. Does, he, really enjoy smoking, I doubt it? Think, of his lungs, developing body, the damage, it has already done, made its mark on this, innocent child. I really hope, his dad, where, is is mum, is being investigated, whilist, I would not normally say this, unless, he, stops his child from smoking, gets help now, he, has no right or claim to him, just, cause you give birth to a baby, it, does not give you automatically rights to them, when, you allow them to do something, which, you know, in time, will kill them.

I don't want to say this, but the Dad is really a bad influence to the child. What hurts me the most is that they should be the one giving proper guidance to their children, but instead they teach their children bad things! When they said that thye could not stop the child because he throws tantrum whenever they stop him, I was really upset because they are the parent of that child, they have complete authority of that child. He is still a child, he cannot distinguish right from wrong. I believe that through proper guidance, he will change.

well for some cultures, smoking is not a bad thing even with bad consequences. Well if your always somewhere where there is smoking, you will copy them eventually. and like the post above ive seen that video too, im laughing because of it and at the same time thinking how old this boy can live.

Some people were also probably making fun of it. But if you dig deeper, you'll see how our world is turning out to be.

I read this news and was shocked. How can a father be so irresponsible? Th efather is the one who introduced kid to smoking. Kid is in serious trouble and father is still not convinced that his son is not well. he says its all right. Hope that others will not copy him or the father.

The kid's father is very irresponsible. It seems like he doesn't even care with the well-being of his child. It is just so wrong.

I think i saw that video already. He was smoking continuously while talking to some one. I think he was sitting on rice sacks. I am sad for that boy because he will have lung cancer on his early age. And, I am wondering if his parents knows it and why do they allow him.
