Indonesia: 8 Year Old Boy Smokes More Than A Pack A Day

Eight-year-old Adi Ilham from Sukabuma smokes 25 cigarettes a day…Gangsta!  This kid dropped out of school because they wouldn’t allow him to smoke while learning.  Why don’t they let him get an education and give him time for a smoke break.  Teach him something…anything!

So here’s the real shocking part of this story…it’s not just this child.  Indonesian Government surveys that 25% of their children over the age of 3 have smoked and 3% of them continue on a regular basis.  It’s reported that some children are given cigarettes before they can walk or talk.  What the hell?  Are there not any pacifiers in Indonesia???
