In 2010, two—year-old Aldi Rizal from a small village in Indonesia became an international sensation - photos with him flew around the world and caused a flurry of indignation. They show a kid sitting in a toy car and smoking. By that time, the child was smoking 40 cigarettes a day.

Further — more. Two years later, Aldi was able to quit smoking. However, one dependency replaced another. The baby began to absorb a huge amount of food and, accordingly, quickly gain weight.
