Synopsis
In Indonesia, land of smoking toddlers and the Wild West of cigarette promotions, a few concerned citizens battle Big Tobacco and a government drunk on profits.

The Smoking Baby - the 2-year-old who became a global YouTube sensation in the summer of 2010, has unwittingly become the poster child and symptom of a Big Tobacco-sponsored battle being waged in developing markets. Correspondent Christof Putzel heads to Indonesia -- the land of smoking toddlers and cigarette sponsored everything (concerts, youth basketball tournaments, trips to Mecca, etc.) -- where the stage is set for a David vs. Goliath fight as a small, underfunded group of concerned advocates battle Big Tobacco and a government drunk on profits and denial. Sex, Lies and Cigarettes charts Big Tobacco's attempt to expand its business in Indonesia, which by all accounts has become the "Wild West" of cigarette promotions.
