Thread: Video: Tragic Sumatran toddler Ardi Rizal has two-pack-a-day cigarette habit

Ah, come on, everyone knows that cigarettes are good for you. They're full of vitamins and shit.

i heard it all started when the kid got a free pack of camels at a bar. he smoked one and gave the rest to a homeless man but then he got to thinking "are they really all that bad?"...

And you thought you had a bad smoking habit.

Ardi Rizal isn't even out of diapers, but he already smokes around 40 cigarettes every day, according to Metro.co.uk.

The 2-year-old Sumatran boy was given his first cigarette at 18 months by his 30-year-old father, Mohammed. Now, he throws tantrums if he's denied his two-pack-a-day habit, according to his family.

"He's totally addicted," said Ardi's 26-year-old mother, Diana. "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."

The overweight tot uses a toy truck to get around instead of being active with other children, according to the report.

The boy's disturbing habit hasn't escaped public notice in Sumatra. Concerned officials offered to buy the family a car if Ardi quits.

Mohammed Rizal seemed unconcerned.
