The youngest smoker of the world, Ardi Rizal, has been spotted to be laughing and responding to the talks of the adults around him, sitting on his tricycle and smoking.

The Indonesian officials have raised concern over the issue, and headed an investigation on a video clip which shows the parents of the kid smoking.

His father reportedly offered the toddler a cigarette for the first time when he was 18-months-old and now he smokes 40 times in a day.

His mother told that he bangs his head on the wall until he is given nicotine. However, his father says that he is healthy.

"He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick", said Diana, his mother.

His fishmonger father, Mohammed, appears to be too cool about the issue and considers it pretty normal.

Child Protection Ministry official Heru Kasidi said that there is a need of thorough investigation of the family. He further said that it appears to be a clear case of child abuse.

Anti-smoking activists and health experts say that Indonesia is home to tobacco consumption.
