how is this any different than what we do to our kids in the west? we pump them full of drugs, feed them mcdonalds, sit them in front of the TV and computer screens. at the kid looks cool.
+Rochelle Thompson It gets worse. It is the American cig companies that bought their companies, like Djarum. Even worse, we send out celebs over their to promote smoking, such as The Black Eyed Peas.
+Shane Reyes Different? Well, how about the 2000 chemicals and the addictive nature, kids don't get addicted to McDonald's because there's nicotine in the food.
+Rochelle Thompson did i question the addictive nature of cigarettes? No, I just want to know why people are outraged at this when we're pretty much doing the same sort of shit to our kids here in the west.
This isn't about personal liberty, it is about abuse and exploitation. I can't believe anyone would even try to argue otherwise unless maybe they are just trolling.
+Shane Reyes Yeah, your obviously trolling, so I won't engage with you any further but to say that, yes, could we do better by our own kids? Sure, but two wrongs don't make a right and the kid is obviously too young to be allowed to make such decisions, but then you know that, don't you?
+Shane Reyes You did ask how it wasn't different, and I suggested an answer. And yes, maybe we aren't raising our kids right, but problems in the World are everywhere and in everything. This topic can get deeper if we start looking at all our Society problems, and too deep for first thing in the morning for me.
"Advertising of tobacco allowed on television between 21:30 and 05:00. There is no minimum age in Indonesia, for both smoking and purchasing cigarettes, as of January 2010." this is a quote from wikipedia on smoking age limit in Indonesia….seems legal but still it is sad
balcar's statement may not be written in perfect english but it is true….and fast food is healthy compared to smoking….and cheaper….smoking is such a bad, expensive habit [ i don't know how much cigarettes cost in U.S. but here..in my country i see teenagers not buying food at school just to afford a deck of cigarettes per two days ]
+Delvita Bonita You say "it's black champaign" because you want to get specific about where the picture was taken?? how about making a big deal about the actual real life issue.
For all who gave comments: if you all know nothing about Indonesia, never say anything. I'm Indonesia and I'll do anything for my country as you do for ur country
Wait, again?
OMG…that better be photoshop
not good !! bad pic .. sorry
+Rochelle Thompson It's not. There is a documentary about this on Vanguard on Current TV.
+William Stephens Oh my, that's sad:(
seriously ? o.O
there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. if the kid wants to smoke, who are we to stop her
How can they do that to them. Are they trying to make money by showing videos of them and such smoking.

i feel sad when i see such behavior…

в сигаретах никотиновый яд

is it abuse and exploitation? Maybe the kid wanted to smoke? even in the US, it's not uncommon for kids to start using tobacco products.
+Shane Reyes Yeah, your obviously trolling, so I won't engage with you any further but to say that, yes, could we do better by our own kids? Sure, but two wrongs don't make a right and the kid is obviously too young to be allowed to make such decisions, but then you know that, don't you?

+Shane Reyes "Maybe the kid wanted to smoke?" That statement makes me hope you don't have kids.

who are we to judge the practices of other cultures.
you clearly have no idea what parenting is all about…and i'm 16 -_- and since when is smoking a culture ?
please read my previous posts. there are plenty of things we do to our kids in the west that are just as bad.
it's criminal to put kids addict for tobacco
english motherfucker do you speak it

+Adam Guerbuez i dont believe it shot in indonesia, please specify the city spot so i can clarify it.
i also dont believe that the kid is indonesian.
it's black champaign to #indonesia
+Delvita Bonita Facts don't lie: "Indonesia ’s death toll is the worst: 400,000 a year." Try doing some research. http://www.asianjournal.com/lifestyle/dr-philip-s-chua/13307-choosing-our-own-poison.html and here's a video: http://www.france24.com/en/20111016-how-healthy-is-indonesia%3F
yet Indonesia has no age restriction for smoking
yes because all those 400,000 are from tobacco.
+Rochelle Thompson so the number show some kids?
+Delvita Bonita Watch the video, you can watch a 2 year old smoking, and an Orangutan
+Rochelle Thompson please read my post. i just dont believe the picture taken from indonesia, that's all. please read carefully..
I'm Indonesian. I want to make sure that this pict is really Indonesian? Can you give me any link /source about it?
+Delvita Bonita You say "it's black champaign" because you want to get specific about where the picture was taken?? how about making a big deal about the actual real life issue.
i'm talking about the pic. period.
+Rochelle Thompson tell me about the relationship between Orang utan and 2 years old smoking.
+Delvita Bonita This really is a big disturbing topic and that's why Canada had tobacco laws. Period.
Like a bAwZ.
+Rochelle Thompson are u dumber? i'm talking about the pic
+Delvita Bonita I totally understand your priorities.
For all who gave comments: if you all know nothing about Indonesia, never say anything. I'm Indonesia and I'll do anything for my country as you do for ur country
not cool..
You see this often in SE Asia. Honestly, compared to many things kids get pressed into there, this is one of the least harmful.
hi folks,
don't waste your time talking shit
google the words "smoking kids" or "kids smoking"
