Two-year-old smokes 40 cigarettes a day

A VIDEO of an Indonesian toddler who smokes 40 cigarettes a day has shocked health experts and provides further graphic illustration of the south-east Asian country’s growing addiction to tobacco.

The parents of the two-year-old boy, seen smoking in a video clip, are to be investigated, Indonesian officials said.

Ardi Rizal, who weighs four stone, laughs and responds to the adults around him as he sits on his plastic tricycle and inhales deeply from frequent drags on a cigarette.
