Did anyone see that 2 year-old chain smoker??? He holds a cigarette and smokes it like an adult but probably can't hold a crayon right....SAD!

    I hope it's a hoax. If it's not, I'm going to agree with the whole child abuse contingent.

    Seriously. Who gives a TWO YEAR OLD a cigarette... and then LETS THEM SMOKE?

    It's called parenting. Jeez.

    So disturbing.  His mother said some crap about how he gets dizzy and throws tantrums without smoking so she has to keep letting him, but what I want to know is how the hell he even started smoking.

    He smokes 2 packs a day and tantrums when he doesn't get a cigarette....They said they tried to get him to smoke light cigarettes (as if they are any better for anyone...let alone a 2 year old), but he will only smoke Marlboro Reds.

    I also hope it is a hoax.  Here's the video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTiyxa6oHR0

    Can any smokers/ex-smokers chime in on whether the smoke patterns and the amount of cigarette left look real?  Maybe it could be a fake cigarette and digital smoke?  I'm hoping it is faked in some way...

    Also, not that this makes the story better in any way, but there's no way that kid's 2, right?  He seems way too self-assured and coordinated for that.

    poor baby.  As a  former smoker, it looks very real to me.  He holds the cigarette  just like a regular smoker does and you can tell that he is  inhaling the smoke into his lungs, rather than just "puffing" it.  If its a fake, its good.

    I couldn't believe it when FI showed me the video. 

    SO because he has a tantrum you give in and let him smoke?!?  I don't have children but just b/c a child has a a tantrum doesn't mean you let them do whatever they want. 

    Victoria, I agree with you, he can't really be two years old.

    This is crazy,  I don't understand how someone can just sit there and watch this happen. As a former smoker I know that you do not like cigarettes the first time you try them, this means this boy was repeatedly given a cigarette until he developed ad addiction. Some people should just not reproduce.

    They should take this child away from the parents.  This is very disturbing.  The child needs professional help if this is true (really smoking and real tantrums).

    unbelieveable....
    seeing that really aggrevates me.... it sucks that people who would love to have children and do a damn good job at it cant have them and then  sometimes the worst people can have children and not do a damn thing for them...
    yea ok ur child can have a temper tantrum all he wants, doesnt mean let him smoke 2 packs a day...and this is where child services should step in...

    apparently his FATHER gave him a cigarette at 18 months and he's been smoking since. his father doesn't see anything wrong with it and his dumb mother says she has no control over it. um he's 2! he can throw tantrums all he wants he's not getting a cigarette! Stupid idiots!

    I'd love to know exactly what would prompt a person to give a cigarette to any child? 
    If he made him a nicotine addict and she has no control over it, they should lose custody of the child.
