Smoking Baby Stops Smoking, Aldi Suganda Video. Smoking baby, Aldi Suganda, is shown in this video as he puffs on 40 cigarettes a day. Aldi Suganda is only 2-years-old and the smoking baby has gone into rehab to stop smoking.
Baby Aldi Suganda is only 2-years-old and he smokes 40 cigarettes a day. He is known as the “Smoking Baby” because it is so rare, as shown in the video below. He has gone into rehab to stop smoking.
Stop smoking rehabs do help people to quit the nictotine habit. However, there is fear that he may give in to temptation and resume smoking once he gets there. This young boy was smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day.
Aldi and his mother, Diana, were taken to the Jakarta capital for intensive medical and psychological treatment. The trip was paid for by the local government. As one would expect, Aldi Suganda was not a happy camper when he arrived at the hospital and was denied a cigarette.
Suganda then underwent a variety of tests, including a chest X-ray and ultrasound on his heart and lungs. They showed a thickening on the left wall of his heart. The thickening of a wall is due to obesity, so his heart has to work harder. Doctors say it hasn’t affected his health yet.
“The youngest smokers found were 5 to 9 years-old,” Aris Merdeka Sirait, CEO of the National Committee of Child Protection, said in a statement. “This year, we found that there are baby smokers, who start from a year old,” Sirait said. “Indonesia has long been a country with virtually no regulations of its tobacco industry.”
