Is the Most Absurd Attempt to Quit Smoking You Have Ever Seen?

Hurriyet Daily News:

In an unusual bid to quit smoking, a 42-year-old man in the western province of Kütahya has begun wearing a helmet-like wire cage on his head, locked on two sides.

İbrahim Yücel, who is trying to kick a 26-year habit of smoking two packets of cigarettes per day, gives the keys of his head cage to his wife and daughter when he leaves home every day. In this way, he is unable to open the cage to smoke during the day, even if he craves a smoke.

He says he was inspired to create the helmet-like head cage by observing motorcycle helmets, after trying without success to quit smoking several times in the past. His father died of lung cancer caused by smoking some years ago.

Since donning the head cage two days ago, Yücel has not smoked a single cigarette. 

At first shocked by the extraordinary contraption, his family now supports Yücel's determined bid to stop smoking.

First question that comes to mind, How does this guy eat? I'm sorry, but I'd rather smoke crack for the rest of my life then go without food all day long.  Absolutely not an option. Next questions (Man, so many questions), why does it have to be so obtrusive and wirery? Like couldn't this guy have created a simpler device that only blocked his mouth? I'll limit myself to one more question--a motorcycle helmet? Really? I'm not seeing the resemblance. Was that sentence supposed to read "He says he was inspired to create the helmet-like head cage by observing motorcycle helmets while tripping on acid, after trying without success to quit smoking several times in the past"?

PS--Why put yourself through this after 26 years of smoking 2 packs a day? I hate to tell you Ibrahim, but your damage is done bro. Might as well enjoy life at this point and smoke while you got em....
