For more than 20 years, a man from Turkey named Ibrahim Yucel has been a cigarette smoker. Finally, he decided a drastic measure needed to be taken to keep him from smoking another cigarette.

He took an extreme measure and had a cage made out of copper wire to lock his head in and prevent him from smoking another cigarette.  It has a lock on it and his wife has a key, she unlocks for him to eat meals.

It's great that he is taking steps to live a healthier lifestyle but a cage on your head is a bit extreme!
