A 2-year-old boy known as RAP, who lives in Sukabumi, Western Java, Indonesia, has become a smoking addict for the past month and a half. According to local information, this boy smokes 2 packets of cigarettes a day.
The boy's parents says he is addicted to cigarettes to the point that he would be angry and refuse to eat anything if he couldn't smoke.
Maryati, RAP’s mother, said the boy began this horrible habit by picking up cigarette butts left on the floor when guests visit house. “At first my child picked up cigarette butts on the floor and now he is addicted to cigarettes.” Maryati said.
Misbahudin, RAP’s father, said he was surprised to see his son smoking as much as an adult. Mr Misbahudin said: “I do not even smoke regularly. I just smoke at work. Every time he smokes, he needs a cup of mocha beside him. If we do not let him, he will scream or smoke from other people. ”
RAP parents say they are trying to find a way to help their son quit smoking, and he seems to be quite open to the idea. Although RAP smokes so much, there have been no reports of government intervention to help RAP from addiction and his parents not be prosecuted for negligence or endangering children.
RAP is not the only boy smoking cigarettes in Indonesia. Previously, Ardi Rizal, Sumatra also shocked many people when smoke up to 40 cigarettes a day when he was just 2 years old.
