Indonesia's smoking toddler kicks the habit
September 03, 2010 10:26 EDT
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesia's smoking toddler has kicked the habit.
Footage of the 2-year-old -- who smoked up to two packs a day -- puffing away circulated the Internet in May and sparked an international outcry. His parents said he'd throw tantrums every time they tried to stop him from lighting up.
A psychologist who took the child into his own home as part of rehabilitation efforts says the boy has stopped asking for cigarettes.
He says the child picked up the habit because virtually every man in his fishing village in South Sumatra province smokes.
When removed from that environment, and offered a wide range of activities, including playing and drawing, the psychologist says he no longer had the urge.
