I've seen this video before and I was deeply bothered. Most of you already know I've quit smoking, right? I learned to smoke at the very early age of 10 years old because of my father, too. But, I managed to quit after almost 2 decades of heavy smoking.
Here's a video of a 2-year old Indonesian BABY (yes, he's still a baby to me) Ardi Rizal who smokes 40 cigarettes... a day!! He learned to smoke at 18 months and it was his father who gave him his first ever cigarette. Now, he throws tantrums when he's not given his usual fix.
The father even said he doesn't see anything wrong with his son's smoking. Are you freaking kidding me?!?! Seriously? How can he be so delusional and irresponsible?! Ardi is WAY TOO YOUNG to be experiencing health problems. At his age, he should still be playing with other kids, learning to draw or his ABCs, not smoking over 2 packs a day! Argh.
What would you do if you found out your son or daughter is smoking? If they deny it, will you have them take a cotinine test? Will you have them undergo some kind of treatment?
I know it's hard to quit smoking. I KNOW! I've been there, done that! I was smoking an average of 10-12 sticks a day over a year ago. Now, I've completely quit!
It's really all about loving yourself and being scared that you're shortening your life by smoking. You're also affecting the lives of everyone around you. Trust me, it's worth quitting.
