    Filed under OMFG: Toddler has 2-pack-a-day smoking habit

    via gawker.com

    Blowing smoke rings as a teen was pretty cool. Of course, that was before I understood the implications and health issues -- and that I wasn't invincible -- and quit smoking cigs in my late 20s.

    This Sumatran toddler may not have the benefit of maturity to open his eyes to the dangers. Hell, at 40 cigarettes a day, he might not get a chance to blow smoke rings as a rebellious 16-year-old.

    The government has tried to help, even offering the parents a car if they get the kid to quit.

    His parents say the toddler gets too angry without cigs. And that he looks fine. Yes, fine!

    These parents have much bigger issues than a smoking baby. If you can not manage, shape, direct or modify your 2-year old's behavior, you are in for even bigger issues as the child gets older! Sad, very very sad.
