The pudgy little boy, Ardi Rizal, smoked up to two packs a day, and his parents, who had started him at 18 months, said he threw tantrums if denied. Recently he went through rehabilitation, NBC reported in a segment this month. > > Enlarge This Image > > Ahmad Naafi/Agence France-Presse - Getty Images > Ardi Rizal, the Sumatran celebrity smoker, has recently given up the habit. > > > While the toddler kicked the habit, Indonesia has not.

About 60 percent of adult men smoke.

Cigarette ads show glamorous, sophisticated, independent women. The companies sell super-slims, sometimes in lipstick-size cases. > > "I'm trying to cut back," a slight, 18-year-old woman named Aprilia said recently outside a soccer stadium where many teenagers smoked.
