I see nothing funny about this. It's just sad.

Yeah, I think that has to be looked at as child abuse.

Can you get like a million camel points (or whatever they're called) club kindof like a million miles club. If so, I bet this kid is a lock since he started so young.

Oh, and it's a horrible thing.

SI

Overweight and smoking? Screw 40, he'll be lucky to make it to 8.

I saw this the other day on CNN.com or something. I looked for the quote and found it. Fucking dad should be taken out back and beaten.

"I'm not worried about his health; he looks healthy," Mohammad Rizal told The Associated Press. "He cries and throws tantrums when we don't let him smoke. He's addicted."

Maybe i'm missing something here. The average income of an indonesian worker is something like 4000 american per year. Yet this guy is able to afford 1500/year for his baby to smoke?

Unless when they say "the equivalent of 5 dollars for two packs of marlboros" they mean "the equivalent of 5 dollars in relation to their average salary" or something like that.

It almost has to be a hoax.

Well for just $5/day you too can help a poor Indonesian toddler maintain his nicotine addiction.

Food? Shit...look at him, he's eating just fine on the 10 cents/day stuff.

More info from the mom's perspective.

Mom of toddler smoker in Indonesia seeks help for him - CNN.com
Quote:
Mulyadi met with Aldi in Jakarta, where his mother brought him for help. He said Aldi was a bright boy, quicker than most children his age.

He also said Aldi was a victim of his environment.

Mulyadi told Diana that she needed to find other things to occupy the boy's time.

But he told us what was disturbing was that the parents motivation to get Aldi to quit wasn't stemming primarily from an understanding of the risk to his health, but more from the cost of spending four dollars a day -- Aldi smokes an average of 40 cigarettes daily.

"Well, I don't want to give him cigarettes, but what I am I supposed to do? I am confused," his mother said. "I didn't let him smoke, I even forbade him from smoking, but I was trying to stop him from getting sick."

She showed us a scar on Aldi's head, where she said he smashed his head into a wall during one of his tantrums. She said he also vomits when he can't satisfy his addiction.
