Many netizens said Rapi looks like an elderly who has experienced the vicissitudes of life when holding a cigarette.
A two-year-old boy from Sukabumi, Indonesia, has a serious smoking addiction while he now has 40 cigarettes a day. He will lose his temper if no cigarettes are offered to him, and in the worse case, he will pester strangers for cigarettes.
The 2-year-old boy, Rapi Ananda Pamungkas, whose parents runs a market stall, started to collect cigarette butts on the street when his mother, Maryati, was running the business. She said he has been smoking for two months every day.
The child has asked passers-by to light up tobacco out of curiosity. Those passers-by helped him because they thought it was interesting, but the foolish act made the smoking addiction of Rapi.
Maryati said if they don't give Rapi cigarettes, he will cry, stay awake at night or lose his temper, turning berserk. As a result, the parents buy the little two packs of cigarettes every day. Besides, she told that the little boy would like to smoke with a cup of coffee or a piece of cake.
Misbahudin, Rapi's father, who is also a smoke, said he doesn't smoke often, while he only smokes in work. The father added that he didn't know when his son was addicted to smoking.
Many netizens said Rapi looks like an elderly who has experienced the vicissitudes of life when holding a cigarette. They also slammed on the parents for overpampering the child, saying it's a tragedy if they only obey to a crying child.
The parents said they are going to bring Rapi to the doctor, hoping he can quit smoking.
According to the World Health Organization, about 200,000 people die each year from tobacco-related diseases in Indonesia, which is one of the countries with the highest proportion of smoking in the world. One-third of Indonesian adults smoke cigarettes. In addition, the problem of Indonesian children's cigarettes is becoming more serious.
