Why did a man in Turkey walk around with a copper cage on his head

The world knows many ways to quit smoking. Various patches, pills, books suggesting that this is bad, various magical and not very interventions.

But there are times when none of the methods help. This happened to Ibrahim Yutsel, a Turkish citizen. He tried every “workable” method of quitting his bad habit, but nothing worked. His father, a heavy smoker, passed away from complications caused by smoking. And the family constantly insisted that he quit smoking. In the end, under this pressure, he gave up.

But quitting a smoker with 25 years of experience is not easy. And he decided that since traditional proven methods do not work, then it is necessary to act unconventionally. And he decided to make himself a cage of copper rods, which he would put on his head, wear all day and take off only before going to bed.

The cage was made by him with his own hands. It was shaped like a motorcycle helmet. It was large enough to fit over your head without any problems. It consisted of about 130 copper rods and a door, which was located in the center. The distance between the bars was large so that you could breathe and eat normally.

Every morning, leaving for work, Ibrahim gave the keys to the cage to his wife in case he was tempted to smoke. In this case, he would have nothing to open the cage and smoke a cigarette. He went to work in this helmet under the gaze of onlookers who looked at the strange man. But this strange method did its job and the man, according to him, quit smoking. But for how long, no one knows.
