Someone send me this link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new…..l?ITO=1490

I didn't realize before that it was in Indonesia. You see the comments in that article, some blaming the policy on tobacco/cigarrette restriction. But I see it is also an example of bad parenting. What in the hell adults doing by introducing smoking to their babies, and cry aloud after they got addicted? The boy won't smoke if someone not giving him a cigarrete before.

Hmmm…. lots of good photos of the kid in that article. I imagine that the reporter had to pay something to get the photos and quotes. Another reason for the parents not too wean the kid off the smokes; he's a nice little earner.

I actually had a neighbour whose five-year-old smoked. This was in a fairly well-to-do area of Jakarta, too. Same pathetic parent excuses, too "Oh, if he doesn't smoke he gets crabby and hurts himself".

There should be some sort of basic competency test before people are allowed to have kids…

This is sick. I know that it would be a total cliche to just put the blame on the parents. But in this case, BLAME THE PARENTS! It really doesn't take a genius to realize that a 2 year old is NOT supposed to smoke, let alone throw tantrums when he's not obliged.
