Rap mother, identified as Maryati, said the little boy picked up his horrible habit after he started becoming intrigued by cigarettes and picking their discarded butts off the floor.
Maryati added that she and her husband , Misbahudin, found it difficult to say no to RAP's smoking cravings as the boy would throw a tantrum until he's given a cigarette. She said that he also needs to have a puff before he can go to sleep.
RAP's dad who is also an occasional smoker, said he was surprised that his son could puff like a seasoned smoker, and that the boy would even bum cigarettes from other adults if his parents wouldn't give in to his offer.
"I don't even smoke that often. I only smoke at work. When RAP smokes it has to be with a cup of mochaccino,he said."
RAP's parents say they are going to seek an unspecified rehabilitation treatment for their son.
Indonesia is known for having some of the highest smoking rates in the world, with the government statistics showing that nearly one-third of the population are active tobacco users, which includes an alarmingly high number of child smokers.
