2 yr old Indonesia boy addicted to cigarettes
















  I'm hoping this is photoshop, but apparently a 2 year old boy from Indonesia is addicted to cigarettes. Ardi Rizal, who lives in the fishing village of Musi Banyuasin, in Indonesia's South Sumatra, was given his first cigarette by his dad at just 18 month old. He smokes two packs of cigarette a day.

His mum, Diana, understands her son has a problem. She said: "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."

But Ardi's father, Mohammad Rizal, is unfazed by his son's smoking habit.
"I'm not worried about his health, he looks healthy. He cries and throws tantrums when we don't let him smoke. He's addicted," he was quoted as saying.

WTF? Seriously the parents of this boy need to be arrested. This should be illegal....

  10. not photoshopped at all.
    This is pretty common in Indonesia (although it is often older kids and less addiction).
    i have seen primary school kids smoking in African countries on regular basis.
    Who said the world is not about to end?
