FILM of a two-year-old boy smoking a cigarette has provoked a storm of protests after becoming a shocking hit on the internet. The four-and-a half-minute clip shows the boy’s mum and dad encouraging him to light up.

He is seen grasping a cigarette in his right hand while he tries to light it with a disposable lighter. Bt his small fingers are clearly not strong enough, so he clamps the cigarette in his mouth and uses both hands to get the lighter working.

Then the youngster is shown casually puffing on his fag as he sits on the front of a motorbike beside a market in Chongqing, southern China, where his parents run a fresh fish stall.

The tot dangles his cigarette between his index and middle fingers, blowing smoke from his nose, as if he’d been puffing for years. Amazingly, onlookers cheer on the toddler – and then urge him to start swearing.

But the clip – shown on one of China’s Facebook-style social networking websites – has also provoked fury. One branded the parents “pure evil” for urging the tot to smoke. Another said: “These monsters don’t deserve a child. Their son should be saved from them and given to someone who will take care of him.”

“They are sick and should go to prison for what they have done. I hope they get cancer,” said one critic.

A local child psychology expert, He Xiaoyan, said children were natural mimics and copied the actions of grown-ups around them. He added: “The parents are behaving very irresponsibly toward their child."
