Really?
When I first saw this I thought it was a joke. It’s a 52 pound chain smoking toddler from Indonesia.
” I don’t want to give him cigarettes, but what I am I supposed to do? I am confused,” says mom.
Mom says now he’s crying now because he can’t have his ciggies.
So, how much do cigarettes cost in Indonesia we ask. Well, at $5.50 a pack and he smokes 2 packs per day which = $11 (US) per day. This kid could have had
From ToysR Us for $59. That’s less than a week’s worth of ciggies. But no, someone chose to spend their money on
……………..

OMG! I couldn’t believe this either when I first saw it on the news. WTH?! Makes me sick! Sorry….he would just have to keep on crying.

The mom needs to be locked up and put away. That’s child abuse if you ask me. What an ignorant woman she is. They need to tie her damn tubes.

That mom is an idiot. Keep him smoking and he won’t be around much longer for her to hear his cries. And look at his fat bod–guess she can’t tell him “no” on the food either. Sheesh.
Who knocked up Midge???!

I can’t imagine Gene Simmons as a 6th grade teacher.
Gulp!
My boyfriend showed me that chain smoking baby clip the other day,and I was just sickened.All I can think of is why would a parent allow this?? I said someone needs to step in and take him from his mother,cos she apparently doesnt know how to be the parent in that family.Poor kid.

OMG, that poor kid. I’m willing to bet he didn’t pick up the habit all on his own though. Maybe mom shoulda thought about that before she gave the kid his first cig.

I heard about this one the radio and thought it was a joke… only to feel ill when I realized it wasn’t. I understand that other countries do things differently, but come on, REALLY!

I have no idea what that mother is thinking either.
That chain smoking toddler is a sick story! He’s obviously been smoking for a while. How does this even happen with a child that young? Loved all your fun facts post-its. Which is weirder? Chain smoking toddler or Gene Simmons teaching 6th graders???

ty so much for stopping by my blog.. OK I think I need to take atrip to Indonesia and lay hands on an indiotic woman ( can’t callher a mom cause well a mom wouldn’t allow a BABY to smoke)
On the other hand I think Gene Simmons would have rocked as a teacher lol..

Wow. What can you say to that?!
That mom needs some guidance and mentoring. So sad.
Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting.It was maybe a week ago. I wanted to say thanks 😉
UGH on the ciggies — that is discusting. And so sad. Working for the American Cancer Society — seeing information like that makes me cringe. Love your factoid post its — nice idea….. 🙂 Thanks for stopping into my blog too! Cheers – happy PINT! 🙂
I just saw that on tv about the little boy. I can’t believe that mother let that happen. I mean come on she had to buy the cigarettes.
*WOW* thats crazy! I would def have to let him cry that one out…..I got ma mp3 player and I can just crank that (mp3) up in ma earz! *smile*

Let him cry!! OMG how did he ever learn to smoke anyway?!
Someone needs to beat his mother.
I still keep trying to wrap my brain around someone giving a cigarette to any kid. 2? She should go to jail.
Wow. Just wow.
Your posts always make me think! 🙂
Happy PINT!

Seriously? A smoking toddler? What next?
I’d say the ipad is a success…hubs loves his. I love it too…when I can steal a moment on it, usually when he’s a work, lol.

Hi! Late visit from PINT! Good job on using those stickies for trivia. I’m a bit of a trivia buff myself. ;p
on the smoking baby – What the heck were they thinking when they gave them his first smoke?! Stick a nicotine patch on him and give him a pacifier instead!
