None of us can forget this story when it broke on the news in the Spring and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has reminded us too with a bit of humor in various skits, 
so there’s just about no way one could have missed this story. The good news is now that he has completed his 30 day rehab program which was provided by the government and luckily the smoking has not caused any health problems.
Fat Baby in Indonesia Has a 2 Pack A Day Smoking Habit – Company Offers Family A Car If He Quits
Now he does have a heart issue which the report says is due to the fact that he is obese. He long longer throws fits and cries when he can’t get a cigarette. I think Mom need the counseling here too to enable her to say no as I’m sure at 2 years old he doesn’t hop in the car or walk down the local convenience store to buy his next pack either.
Mom watched him smoke his last cigarette and smashed his head on the floor at the hospital. The doctor says that some children start at the age of a year old and he’s seen other cases. I can’t imagine 3-4 packs a day for baby to smoke. The local government is responsible to monitor the child and make sure he doesn’t start again. The next issue it looks like might be the diet for the tot. Mom also learned parental skills too on how to give him something else besides a cigarette when he’s unhappy, common sense to most but I guess may not think in this manner, thus the 2 year old addiction problem.
