Frightening footage of toddler girl puffing on a cigarette - VIDEO

The young girl, aged about two or three, puts the cigarette into her mouth and inhales several times before breathing out dark smoke. The clip, which has been uploaded to YouTube, is believed to have been taken in Finland and has caused public outrage.One person wrote: 'Must originate from her sick parents or siblings. Persons under 18 are not allowed to either sell or purchase tobacco in Finland.'The country has among the toughest smoking laws in the world.'Some others have also suggested she could be smoking an e-cigarette. A two-year-old from Sumatra in Indonesia shocked the world after he was photographed chain-smoking cigarettes.Ardi Rizal, who is now five, was photographed puffing on a cigarette while riding his tricycle.The outcry led to the Indonesian government launching a campaign to tackle the problem of children smoking and organising special rehabilitation treatment to help Ardi quit.Ardi was taken for play therapy sessions in the capital Jakarta for two weeks to take his mind off his 40-a-day habit and learn to be a normal toddler for the first time.During his rehabilitation treatment, Ardi saw psychiatrists who encouraged his mother to keep him busy with playing and taught her about the dangers of smoking.One of them - Dr Kak Seto - still sees Ardi and his family at regular intervals to ensure he is not falling back into old habits.However, Mrs Rizal is now worried about her son's weight, as he developed food cravings while quitting smoking, and now has a big appetite.Last week the Labour party proposed an amendment to the Children and Families Bill which would ban drivers in private vehicles from smoking when a child is present.Health Minister Mark Drakeford also believes electronic cigarettes are 're-normalising' smoking.He told BBC Wales' Sunday Politics: 'I am far more worried that the e-cigarette movement is re-normalising smoking that it's re-glamorising smoking. 'It contains nicotine and nicotine is highly addictive. We don't want e-cigarettes to become a gateway to real cigarettes.'(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
