Yeah, we all know smoking is bad for you but in other cultures evidently its ok....for babies?? The question we have to ask ourselves is whether its a cultural interpreation or an instance of uneducation. Obviously in many foreign countries people smoke the locally grown tobaccos as part of a recreational form of relaxation, many of them may not have other forms of social relaxation such as bars or sporting events. However, I think the thing we are missing is that these are all 'adult' forms of relaxation. Children don't need cigarettes or alcohol to relax!
The father of this child was offered a truck to make his child stop this habit. Even if he is uneducated and the smoking started on a lark to laugh about around the dining table, that doesn't make it. At this point however, all the publicity may make them not quit merely to keep the public attention. But to turn down a vehicle in their poor village is bad judgement alone..
