Quitting smoking? Try building a cage around your head

A Turkish man has reportedly adopted a novel approach to quit smoking – he is living with a cage around his head.

Ibrahim Yücel has taken drastic measures in a bid to ditch his two-packet-a-day habit, which has gone on for 26 years, by constructing a cage out of 40 metres of copper wire, Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News reports.

The device took him one month to complete and has two locks, to which only his wife and 14-year-old daughter have keys.

Yucel is desperate to quit after recently losing his father to lung cancer.
