Meet Ardi, the pudgy 2-year-old Sumatran boy who wants to bum your cigarettes.
Two-year-old Ardi Rizal would give Don Draper and the fellas at Sterling Cooper a run for their money. Well, maybe not, since he can’t run very far thanks to his hefty smoking addiction. Instead, he putters around on his toy truck and blows smoke rings at other kids. Classy.
According to the Daily Mail, his dad, Mohammed, gave Ardi his first cigarette when he was eighteen months old, and now the boy is up to forty a day. He cries and throws fits if his parents deny him.
But there’s not much discipline going on, if what Mohammed told The Sun about his parenting philosophy is any indicator: “He looks pretty healthy to me. I don’t see the problem.”
The Indonesian government knows a public relations problem when it sees one (or, um, smokes one), and it has offered a car to Ardi’s family if he kicks the habit.
