This video has no commentary, but another one I saw about the boy was stating that he smokes TWO packs a day! He has been smoking since he was 18 months old. The government told the family they would buy them a car if they made him quit, but they refuse. The father stated "He looks healthy to me!" ohmy.gif


Absolutely staggering.

His dad STARTED him smoking! He gave him his first cigarette at 18 months old.

I guess his father maybe was thinking of gaining some money for the fuzz it causes....
Whats even worser though, its all the mothers who are junkies and giving birth to children that are addicted from the start.

Just depressing. It's nothing less than child abuse. Cuff dad!

+1

I'm totally speachless...

I'm a nonsmoker so I can't even imagine how someone could do that to his own child.... sad.gif

I read about this in local papers and its so wrong sad.gif I feel bad for the baby...Generally cigarette industry nowadays is all about profit so smoking this tobacco is going to kill you (because of all the bad ingredients in 'em)...Its not like centuries ago when they did it all natural...

Read about it on a Belgian site. Couldnt believe it...
That ""father"" needs to be punished!

Marketing campaign slogan for smokes: "You'll never be alone again"

who's to blame???

Posted by: Keilnoth May 29 2010, 08:59 AM

We don't have the same culture and education. His dad saying "he looks healthy" just means everything to me. He don't know how bad smoking is.

But he's certainly stupid not having taking that car ! tongue.gif

And well, I am sure half of you smoke and intoxicate people around you and you want to punish that person ? C'mon guys... smile.gif

If it were that simple, than this would not even have been reported. This is clearly an exception to the culture that he lives in as well, or else it wouldn't be news.
