"Indonesia is home to the chubby YouTube superstar known as the "smoking baby", whose chain-smoking antics have racked up over 17.5 million views. But while many may be tempted to write this off as another passing fascination, the "smoking baby" actually represents just the tip of the iceberg of an astonishing, global epidemic of youth smoking."

"A year-long ABC News investigation examined the tobacco industry's expansion into Indonesia, which critics say is being fueled, in part, by one of the most powerful and profitable corporations in the United States."

"Indonesia, the world's fourth-largest country, has an enormous, thriving tobacco market and very few regulations on the sale and consumption of cigarettes. One company in particular, Philip Morris International (PMI), has found tremendous success in Indonesia, making millions selling Marlboros and popular local brands."

"Watch the full story on "Nightline" tonight at 11:35 p.m. ET"

"PMI can market their products to young people there in ways they could never do in the U.S. or Europe, where government agencies clamped down on tobacco advertising to youth over 40 years ago. In Indonesia, cigarette ads are abundant on television, and billboards even feature the iconic Marlboro Man, whom Philip Morris, under public pressure, laid to rest in the U.S. in 1999."

ALL over Asia.

Smoking is very popular here---the government in Thailand has forced cig. boxes to show the results of the disease, but this does not stem the tide of youth who want to smoke---they're seeing it as a cool symbol from American movies here.

PM is evil.

They are murderers. All tobacco companies are murderers, and so are all the people that work for them, or sell their products.
