Indonesian eight-year-old 'smoking two packs a day'

An eight-year-old Indonesian boy "spends his whole day smoking and playing".

The youngster, called Ilham, smokes two packs a day in the country – where there is no minimum age to smoke - after starting the habit when he was just four years old, Antara News reports.

But his father believes the boy would "smash glass windows" and have tantrums if he refused to give him cigarettes.

He added: "He doesn't want to go to school anymore. He spends his whole day smoking and playing."
