"His father is paying five dollars a day for the fags..."  LOL...I know that's a British terms for cigs but it still cracks me up.  Sad, though, too, wondering how much five dollars goes in Indonesia.

I saw this on the news a few days back.  It is funny cause it is so odd how he smokes like an adult.  It is very sad, too.  I was surprised they said only a third of the people there smoke.  I would have thought it would have been much, much higher than that.  And, I think they said cigs are only like 40 cents a pack.  I'm not sure what that translate to in American dollars. 

I'm not sure why the parents would want him to smoke.  To gain attention and money?  They said the poor kid gets very upset without his cigs.  He will have to be on oxygen by the time he's 18.
