By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/two-year-old-kid-from-indonesia-quit-smoking.htmlIn 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.

Thank God, now 9-year-old Aldi is doing well. He does not smoke, has lost weight, studies with pleasure in the 4th grade and succeeds in school.
According to statistics, a third of children in Indonesia start smoking before the age of 10.
Public outrage has led the Indonesian government to launch an anti-smoking campaign, especially in remote settlements.
"At first he had terrible tantrums when we stopped giving him cigarettes," says Aldi's mother. "But now he has completely given up smoking."
However, pretty quickly the boy developed a terrible appetite without the usual 40 cigarettes.
He ate fatty foods and drank three cans of condensed milk a day. Again, if he wasn't given food, Aldi would throw tantrums and even bang his head against the wall.
His parents took him to the doctor and put him on a strict diet. At the age of 5, the boy weighed 24 kilograms, which exceeds the norm by 6 kilograms.
Four years later, after following a diet consisting of fresh fruits and vegetables, Aldi was able to lose weight and study.
