The youngest smoker in the world was found in the Chinese town of Tianjin. Today two and a half years old, Tong Liangliang began smoking when he was only 18 months old, Australia’s News reported. 

The little boy’s father reported this shocking revelation. He was the one who started giving his son cigarettes so he could more easily deal with the pain of hernia because he was too young to undergo surgery.

Currently the toddler smokes a pack a day between vomiting and tantrums and does not want to stop. If he is denied to smoke, he throws himself onto the floor and screams.

His father did not realise how serious his son’s addiction was until the toddler increased the number of cigarettes he smoked a day.

The Guinness Book of Records has refused to even consider this case because, as it has done before, it is refusing attempts on breaking records that would promote harmful habits.
