The chain smoking Indonesian toddler who achieved viral video fame last spring has checked into rehab. 'Early Show' correspondent Betty Nguyen goes back to Indonesia to check-up on Aldi, as the 2-year-old tries to kick the habit. "The night before treatment began, Diana watched her child smoke what she hoped would be his last cigarette," Nguyen explains as footage shows the toddler puffing away. When denied a cigarette at the hospital, Aldi threw a tantrum in which he "wailed and smashed his head against the floor."
