Indonesian Toddler Curbs Smoking

Maybe the outrage will subside? Two-year-old chain smoker Ardi Rizal, whose smoking habits went viral on the Internet, has undergone “therapy focused on playing” to curb his bad habit, according to a child welfare official. Ardi has his first smoke at a mere 18 months, when his father got him started on what would turn into a potentially life-threatening addiction. Officials in Indonesia had previously tried to buy the Rizal family a car as an incentive for Ardi to quit.
