Zookeepers in Indonesia have moved a smoking orangutan away from visitors to a small island to help her quit the habit. Tori, an orangutan from a zoo in Solo in central Java, has been smoking cigarettes thrown into her cage for a decade. She was moved along with her male companion, Didik. Both are now on the island within the zoo, keepers said. She started smoking by mimicking humans, they said. Tori would reportedly pick up butts that were still lit, hold them between her fingers and begin puffing. Didik, on the other hand, would stamp on the butts to put them out, local media reports said. Here at the Smokers' Clinic we are wishing Tori the best of luck for a sucessful quit!
