Two year old toddler, Ardi Rizal, has become an online sensation after video footage of the toddler smoking a cigarette surfaced online. The mother of the young chain smoker has vowed she will seek help for her son. The toddler’s mother, Diana, has told reporters that her son now smokes an average of 40 cigarettes every day.

When she tries to wean the child off the cigarettes she says that her son will throw tantrums, and even start vomiting when his addiction isn’t met. Diana claims she does not remember when Ardi first began smoking. She says they went to a super market one day, and the next thing she knew he was smoking.

The mother is now trying to get help for the child based on the amount of money that the child’s addiction costs to the family.

The authorities are claiming Ardi is “a victim of his environment,” and they are even more disturbed by the fact that the parent’s are now concerned due mainly to the cost factors involved instead of the health risks the child has from smoking so much.

Indonesia is actually the only country within the Asia-Pacific region that has not yet ratified the World Health Organizations framework for controlling tobacco. The framework calls for measures to be taken to display the health risks involved with smoking, and for other anti-tobacco measures to be taken.

After receiving national and worldwide attention it remains unknown if Indonesia will feel pressured or not to sign on the WHO’s anti-tobacco framework.
