The parents of a 2-year-old Chinese boy are seeking advice on how to help their child kick his smoking habit. The toddler has been smoking for over a year and was allowed to start to help deal with the pain of a hernia. His parents say that his smoking is getting out of control, but they are unsure on how to get him to quit. The terrible twos are bad, but imagine the horror of a 2-year-old in the middle of a nic-fit tantrum.
Why do seagulls live near the sea? 'Cause if they lived near the bay,
they'd be called baygulls.

...from another source (since this story is at least a weak old) the kid starts to yell, scream and generally goes apeshit without the cigarettes.
See... he is an addict, but with a health problem that his addiction makes bearable.

A "normal" 2-year-old with hernia pain, which won't go away even after it gets tired of crying and falls asleep.
Aaaand... besides the pain it also has an addiction to a chemical stimulant.
So yeah... kinda like a kid you take a toy away from - if by "toy" you mean body part, and by "take away" you mean cut off.
Yeah... very similar. Not QUITE the same though.
