Though I want to clarify something here. It's not an Indonesian custom to give a toddler cigarettes. I do remember seeing some street kids (approx 9-teens upwards) smoking but I'd hazard a guess that's more to do with poverty and other factors. (And something I saw in Canada and the US as well, with 'tweens lighting up anyway.)

Hi

It was quite clear from the tone of the news story that it was quite far from normal for a toddler to be smoking. However, the rest of the story also made it clear that tobacco smoking is, as you described, rampant in Indonesia. Here it is (finally) on the decline although I, too, have seen youngsters smoking. Now that we know how it is harmful to your health, it seems it is part of that adolescent 'I need to show off how invulnerable I perceive myself to be' behaviour that so often comes out at that age. At least it is not quite as quickly fatal as other types of such behaviour.
