This truly is weird news. In fact I sincerely have trouble buying into this almost as much as when these pages reported Hamas was going to release Galit or most recently the nuclear inspector in Iran who said in essence that the Iranian nuclear program is not a destructive grade. Actually, I buy into the 2 yr old smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day more reasonable.

I have to agree wholey with your comment on this subject on who are the parents of this toddler,who gave him the ciggies in the first place ,i`ve nevr herad of ciggies being used as pain relief this is a myth to me ,hope this child doesnt grow up to love fire also because how else is he lighting his ciggies apart from with a lighter doh i think his parents have to grow up let alone the two year old .

The story clearly states he was given the cigarettes for pain relief. No one decided it would be cute to have a small child smoking. The real question here is why are these parents not able to obtain some type of pain killer from a physician.

WHO is the parent here? If you don't want your baby to smoke, DON'T GIVE HIM CIGARETTES! DUH! Put up with the 3 days of crying while he withdraws. Besides, if he's smoking, he won't be able to have that hernia operation anyway, because his lungs won't be healthy enough to withstand anesthesia.

This is appalling!! Why in the world would someone give a baby cigarettes to smoke?? I don't think there is ANY justification for this crime.

Where does he get his cigaretts? Some one has to buy them for him.! No one in their right mind would furnish them or sell them to him.! Someone needs to face the musick.!
