EeeewWW! A two-year old smokes?

Nice going, Dad! Now I’ve heard everything.
As cliché as it is, what’s the world coming to?

“2-year-old smokes two packs a day
A 2-year-old Indonesian boy's parents say he has a two pack a day habit and throws a tantrum when they refuse to give him cigarettes.
His father gave him his first smoke when he was 18 months old and now he is addicted.

Sorry, smokers, but I really, really hate cigarettes. Worse yet, I can't imagine giving such a thing to a toddler.
Shouldn't there be a way to excuse/ban people from parenthood?
