[quote]JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesia's smoking toddler has kicked the habit.
Footage of 2-year-old Aldi Rizal — who smoked up to two packs a day — puffing away circulated the Internet in May and sparked an international outcry. His parents said he'd throw tantrums every time they tried to stop him from lighting up.
Psychologist Seto Mulyadi, who took the child into his own home as part of rehabilitation efforts, said Friday the boy has stopped asking for cigarettes.
He said Aldi picked up the habit because virtually every man in his fishing village in South Sumatra province smokes.
When removed from that environment, and offered a wide range of activities, including playing and drawing, he no longer had the urge, the psychologist said.
Aldi's father gave him his first cigarette when he was just 18-months-old, relatives have said.[/quote]

He shouldn't have started in the first place, who gives an eighteen month old a cigarette
Well if he can stop, why can't older people. Strange to think that a two year old has more will power than an adult.

Sorry, what?
If you live in 1/12th speed, 18 months seems like 18 years.
Over here, the legal age to buy cigarettes is 18 years. :clint:
Fucking fractions, man.
badass
That is one cool toddler!

There's a difference between a two year old smoking for a couple of months and an adult who has smoked for most of their life.
[QUOTE=Bird;24568553]Hope it didn't damage him.[/QUOTE]
Eh, at most he's going to be an asthmatic through his early childhood and that'd be it. His body is constantly growing and developing so any effects from smoking will be gone within a few years.
