Experts Shift Tori to an Island

Tori, 15, a big addict of smoking since a decade or so, has been recently sent to an island with a belief that it might help her quit her evil habit, a recent report has revealed.

She is an orang-utan from Indonesia, the report says, whose habit to smoke grew when she constantly used to receive lit cigarettes from visitors at a zoo. She was residing at the central Java zoo in Surakarta, an island within which has now become her residence.

According to sources, the small island has been declared as her permanent home. She would now live with her boyfriend Didik, 16, in the middle of a lake only. However, it is not for the first time that a primate has been found to be addicted to tobacco or cigarettes.

It has been found that Shirley, who is also an adult ape, was caught previously in Malaysia for her smoking habit that she developed in a same manner.

Investigating how Tori developed the habit, it was found that she had started to mimic what humans’ did in front of her at the zoo. She held the cigarettes exactly like humans, i. e. between her fingers, followed by flicking ash on the ground.
