2-Year-Old is World's Youngest Smoker?

[Doughboy71]

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A 2-year-old in China may be the world's youngest smoker.

News.com.au reports that Tong Liangliang's father taught the toddler how to smoke as a way of dealing with the pain from a hernia, which he was born with. Since Liangliang is too young to undergo an operation, his dad is having him smoke a pack of cigarettes a day.

But now the child is reportedly hooked. If he doesn't get his fix, he throws a tantrum.

"The father wasn't aware how serious the toddler's habit had become until the child began to increase the number of cigarettes he smoked per day," Chinese news agency CRI said.
