Most parents wonder how to keep their children from getting hooked on smoking. This dad taught his two-year-old son to smoke in hopes that it would help him deal with the pain from a hernia, according to the Daily Mail.

Tong Liangliang puffed his first cigarette at the age of 18 months. He now smokes a pack a day, and throws a tantrum if he’s not allowed to light up.

“The father wasn’t aware of how serious the toddler’s habit became until the child began to increase the number of cigarettes he smoked per day,” China Radio International reported.

Even the President of the United States admits to the occasional cigarette. Tips on preventing your child from developing the habit are here.
