This is just a comment about the news of an Indonesian baby smoking forty cigarettes a day. Yes, at first I was amused of what the Indonesian baby is doing. I even laughed while watching the video because of how baby Ardi Rizal flipped his cigarette and played with the smoke. Later on, I realized that the parents of the baby should not tolerate smoking or what the baby is doing. We are aware of the negative effects of smoking on our health, and for that Indonesian baby, smoking is really bad for him. However, I heard via news that the parents of baby Ardi Rizal thought the child seemed healthy. Well, that is absurd. Maybe at this time, the baby is still healthy. What about the coming years? If an adult is diagnosed of heart problems due to smoking, the more it will happen to the baby. He is too young and his body is still developing physically and emotionally.
Yes, he throws tantrums when not given a cigarette. The parents should not tolerate this kind of behavior. They should exert efforts to stop the smoking habit of the baby. Spending at least seven dollars a day just to feed the same habit is not right. The money could have been used for the milk supply of the baby instead of cigarettes. Therefore, I was amazed at first, and then entertained by what baby Ardi did. But I was also thinking of the baby’s future especially on his health. Well, this is just my opinion. The decision still depends on the parents and as well as the Indonesian government to intervene on the matter. With that, the headline Indonesian Baby Smoking Forty Cigarettes a Day is a serious matter.
