Rapi Ananda Pamungkas is two years old - and he already smokes up to 40 cigarettes a day. The young Indonesian boy became addicted very quickly after picking up discarded butts outside his mother's stall. 

Passersby know the boy, nicknamed "Rap", very well because he always asks them for cigarettes. The people humoured him, thinking it was funny to see a baby smoking.

Rap's mother Maryati says the boy has been smoking every day for two months, and she buys him two packs to keep him in the habit: "If I don’t give him a cigarette, my child goes berserk."

The child reportedly does a great impression of a 40-year-old man as he drinks coffee and eats cake while he puffs away.
