Jakarta: Indonesia's smoking toddler has kicked the habit.

Videos of 2-year-old Ardi Rizal smoking were circulated on the Internet in May and sparked an international outcry.

Psychologist Seto Mulyadi, who took the child into his own home as part of rehabilitation efforts, said Friday the boy has stopped asking for cigarettes.

He said Ardi picked up the habit because virtually every man in his fishing village in South Sumatra province smokes.
