[LorraineS]

I came across this story today--found it very upsetting--what is this crazy world coming to?

Man that is horrible can't believe it!

Didn't click the link, but if it's the same one I'm thinking of... His dad is who is promoting his smoking habits. That's what upsets me the most, is that anybody will do anything, including putting his baby in danger, to get famous.

more like, infamous. *shudder*

it's sad when a 2 y/o smokes harder and faster then most adults... what am I saying a 2 y/o shouldn't even know what smoking is... someone needs to give that dad a good kick in the...

It's not the father's fault. According to the FDA, Lung Assocoiation, Cancer Society, Smokefree Whatever....it's the the tobacco companies trying to capture the 2-year-old demographic.

I have reviewed the video carefully and have reached the following conclusion; It's Danny Devito!

This is just plain disturbing!

Great scott...I bon't believe what I just looked at.

 

[flying low]

oooh - that story had me so angry. the father should be shot for even starting the kid off like that. ridiculous.

No shortage of babies in many parts of the world. Yeah its kinda sad but I am not outraged or horrified. Better smoking for internet fame rather than selling the kid to a brothel IMO.

Well what I don't like is the parents here, they smoke around their kid, and get mad when the kid grows up to smoke. (hence I smoked) My mom flipped and dad blamed my mom because I was around her a lot and the 2nd hand smoke was gone when I was with my friends. I needed nicotine when I was 14 15. I am almost 22 now.

I also find it difficult to express much outrage. Abusing animals or small children (which are nothing more than animals with some additional potential) within my earshot is a sure fire trip to the ER, but all the way on the other side of the world - all one is really doing jumping up and down here is promoting the behavior through advertising and misdirected marketing.

If the neighbors want to put a bullet in the father's head - I'm all for that. Otherwise, nature will extract its due with or without my involvement.

i dont understand all this child worship crap. No one cares about your kids but you. I love you George Carlin for making sense of what was in my head already. haha RIP

 

[Darrigaaz]

But, but, but... The children are our future, man!

 

[mmcall12]

That is so sad to see this thing happen,really breaks my heart to see this video.

That child must have been a heavy smoker in a past life - and he clearly reincarnated too quickly.

I can't imagine any normal 2-year-old child being the least bit interested in smoking, even with encouragement from stupid parents. Most kids hate cigarette smoke.

And yes, life is still very cheap in many parts of the world.
