Ardi Rizal nicotine addiction rehabilitation

Overview

Ardi Rizal, an Indonesian boy who gained international attention for smoking up to 40 cigarettes a day at age two, has successfully overcome his nicotine addiction.

Following intervention by the Indonesian Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection, Rizal underwent rehabilitation starting in 2013 under the supervision of child psychologist Seto Mulyadi. The withdrawal process initially caused secondary health issues, including anxiety and compulsive eating, which led to severe obesity by age five.

Through nutritional adjustments and school-age guidance, Rizal achieved a healthy lifestyle and managed his weight. He now participates in interviews to raise awareness regarding the dangers of early tobacco use.
