Parents Let Two-Year-Old Smoke 40 Cigarettes a Day! | momlogic.com.

Wow. I mean, effing wow. Not only is this 2 year old a 4 pack a day smoker, he’s over fifty pounds!

From the original article at The Sun (UK)

“He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem.”

And as shocking as it is to Westerners, who for the most part have rightfully denounced smoking for the health hazard that it is, it isn’t uncommon for kids in other parts of the world, particularly poorer parts, to start smoking at an early age. To be so addicted to nicotine at such a young age, though, I’m sure isn’t common. And this is just downright sad and disgusting.
