2岁儿童每天狂抽40只烟 现戒烟成功

  According to Agence France-Presse, on September 2, a two-year-old Indonesian boy who smoked about 40 cigarettes a day has kicked the habit after receiving intensive specialist care, said a child welfare official。

  Ardi Rizal shocked the world when a video of him drawing heavily on cigarettes appeared on the Internet in May and drew attention to Indonesia's failure to regulate the tobacco industry。

  "He has quit smoking and the most important thing is he doesn't ask for cigarettes anymore," national commission for child protection secretary-general Arist Merdeka Sirait told AFP。

  Six months after his father gave him his first cigarette, the overweight boy was smoking two packs a day and threw violent tantrums if his addiction was not satisfied。

  Accompanied by his mother, the boy left his village on Sumatra island in July to undergo treatment in the capital。

  "He received psychosocial therapy for one month, during which therapists kept him busy with activities and encouraged him to play with kids of the same age," Sirait said,"We diverted his addiction from cigarettes to playing."

  Ardi's case has highlighted the tobacco industry's aggressive marketing to women and children in developing countries like Indonesia, where regulations are weak and many people do not know that smoking is dangerous。

  Sirait said the government had given financial support to Ardi's parents, who were ignorant of smoking's dangers and used cigarettes to keep the toddler happy as they worked long hours at a street market。

  "Ardi was very happy when he left Jakarta this morning as he has really missed his father in the village," Sirait said。

  据法新社9月2日报道,一位儿童福利官员说,一名原来一天大约抽40支烟的两岁印尼男童在接受特殊治疗后已经成功戒烟。

  当阿尔迪•罩扎尔大口抽烟的视频5月份出现在网上时,他震惊了全世界,也引起了人们对印度尼西亚缺乏烟草业监管的关注。

  全国儿童保护委员会秘书长西拉伊特对法新社说:“他已经戒烟成功,最重要的事情是,他再也不要烟抽了。”

  阿尔迪的父亲让他抽第一支烟六个月后,这个男孩每天抽两包烟,如果烟瘾得不到满足,他还会大发脾气。今年7月,这名男童在母亲的陪伴下离开了自己位于苏门答腊岛的村子,前往首都进行治疗。

  西拉伊特说:“他接受了长达一个月的心理治疗,在此期间,治疗师让他一直忙于参加活动,鼓励他和同龄的孩子们玩。我们将他的嗜好从吸烟转移到了玩耍上。”

  阿尔迪的案例表明,烟草企业在印度尼西亚等国大力向妇女和儿童推销香烟,因为这些国家的监管松解,很多人并不知道吸烟的危害。

  西拉伊特说,印尼政府已经给予阿尔迪父母经济上的支持。阿尔迪的父母不仅忽视了吸烟的危害,而且当他们在街市上长时间工作时,还用烟来让阿尔迪高兴。

  西拉伊特说: “由于阿尔迪非常想念住在村子里的父亲,所以当他今天早上离开雅加这时表现得非常高兴。”
