Help for Orangutan to Quit Smoking

Zookeepers in Indonesia are having to take drastic action to stop a 15-year-old female orangutan from smoking.

Maybe it's just adolescent rebellion, but Tori, a primate at Taru Jurug zoo, has been smoking for 10 years – cadging lit cigarettes from visitors who throw them into her enclosure.

Her primate partner Didik, a non-smoker, apparently stamps out the cigarettes thrown into the cage, but Tori is said to get irritable and throw things when she cannot get her nicotine fix.

Now the zoo is planning to send the couple to a small island in the hope it will break Tori's tobacco addiction.

But as she can't read anti-smoking guru Allen Carr's books, what should she try to ease the pain of quitting?
 It is such a shame when animals are subjected to secondhand smoke, let alone this oranguatn who has started imitating her captures.  It is a dreadful habit that should be stamped out.  Stop smoking hypnosis at the Harley Street Stop Smoking Clinic the nautural way to quit smoking.
