According to a report, the drastic measure was his way of curbing the urge to smoke after several failed attempts to quit, including during significant moments like his children’s birthdays and wedding anniversaries. 

Ibrahim Yucel, a Turkish man battling a 26-year-old smoking addiction has gained attention for an unconventional approach to quitting cigarettes. Yucel, who reportedly smoked two packs a day for over two decades built a helmet-shaped metal cage to prevent himself from smoking. The unique utensil resembles a birdcage, which locks his head inside. Yucel then gives the keys to his wife to ensure he is not able to unlock the cage himself. The story surfaced around 11 years ago and was widely shared after images and videos of Yucel wearing the cage went viral. Recently a user on X reposted the pictures of the incident, which has again reignited the curisoity among the netizens. This gentleman, Ibrahim Yucel, a Turkish man who was 42 years old at the time of the events, decided in 2013 to have his head locked in a cage with the intention of quitting smoking; his wife was the only one who had the keys and she only opened it during meals. pic.twitter.com/1LupljbfYp — non aesthetic things (@PicturesFoIder) November 7, 2024 According to a report by NDTV, the drastic measure was his way of curbing the urge to smoke after several failed attempts to quit, including during significant moments like his children’s birthdays and wedding anniversaries. However, it remains unclear whether Yucel ultimately succeeded in overcoming his addiction through this method or not. Smoking a global public health problem Smoking continues to be a global public health problem. A report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that tobacco use causes over 8 million deaths annually, with a significant proportion occurring in low and middle income countries. Report also claimed that second-hand smoke also possessed severe health risks, contributing to 1.2 million deaths each year. Children are particularly vulnerable, with nearly half exposed to tobacco smoke worldwide. This exposure results in an estimated 65,000 childhood deaths annually and increases the risk of long-term health complications. Additionally, smoking during pregnancy can lead to lifelong health issues for newborns. Yucel’s extreme approach highlights the difficulty many smokers face in quitting. Despite various cessation methods available, nicotine addiction remains challenging to overcome, often requiring significant personal commitment and support.

‘Obama, Trump and Trump’: Google briefly omits Biden’s name from list of US presidents

<p>Axel Rudakubana, who brutally killed three young girls in a shocking knife attack last July on Thursday (Jan 23) was sentenced to life in prison. The five-decades-long sentence is set to be reviewed amid complaints that it was "unduly lenient". Here's why.</p>

<p>The British teenager will have to serve a minimum of 52 years in jail before being eligible for parole. The 18-year-old, who was 17 when he committed the horrific crimes, has received 13 life terms for three murders and 10 attempted murders.</p>

<p>Within seconds, he started attacking the girls, and in a 15-minute rampage, he killed six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar.

<p>Five 'majestic' elephants at a Colorado zoo do not have the legal right to pursue their release since they are not human, said the Colorado Supreme Court on Tuesday (Jan 21).</p>

<p>The group believed that after years in captivity, the elephants could no longer survive in the wild and was thus seeking their release into two elephant sanctuaries in the United States.

<p>Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron Trump, once again impressed the internet merely by his presence as he was cheered on by a massive crowd during the inaugural ceremony of the 47th US president.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Barron, who is known as "little Donald" by Trump's supporters and "the most watched bachelor of the world" by his elder brother Eric Trump, is just 18. A viral video from the event shows Barron standing calmly with a soft smile on his face. As Trump announced his name, the public went berserk and started cheering for him.

WATCH: Crowd goes berserk as Donald Trump praises son Barron at inaugural ceremony

<p>Donald Trump on Monday (Jan 20) officially became the 47th President of the United States. The Republican's inauguration ceremony was a star-studded affair that featured the likes of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, foreign dignitaries like Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, among others.</p>
<p>Trump, a controversial figure in his own right, had a pretty calm inauguration, in huge contrast to the last US presidential inauguration, which was overcast by the Jan 6 Capitol riots. However, the glamorous event had its fair share of viral moments. Let us have a look at six such instances from the Donald Trump inauguration.</p>

<p>Here are five key things to know about Trump&rsquo;s political journey:</p>
<h2><strong>1. Unexpected political start</strong></h2>
<p>In July 2015, businessman Donald Trump, with no political experience, surprised everyone by announcing his presidential run. Despite doubts, he won the Republican nomination in 2016. In the election, he defeated Hillary Clinton, which shocked the nation and marked the rise of populism in US politics.</p>
<h2><strong>2. Bold actions and controversies</strong></h2>
<p>When Trump became president on January 20, 2017, he quickly took bold steps. He reinstated the Mexico City Policy, pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and introduced travel bans on several Muslim-majority countries. These actions, part of his "America First" policy, were controversial but earned him strong support from many Americans who felt ignored by the political system.</p>

<h2><strong>&nbsp;3. Legal issues and impeachment</strong></h2>
<p>Trump faced growing legal and political challenges during his presidency. In 2018, he started a trade war with China. He was also investigated for his campaign&rsquo;s possible connections with Russia. In 2019, the House of Representatives impeached him for his actions related to Ukraine, but the Senate later acquitted him.</p>
<h2><strong>4. COVID-19 and the 2020 election</strong></h2>
<p>The COVID-19 pandemic became a major issue during Trump&rsquo;s final year in office. His response to the crisis was widely criticised. In the 2020 election, Trump lost to Joe Biden but continued to claim the election was &ldquo;stolen,&rdquo; despite no evidence. He launched several unsuccessful legal battles over the results.</p>

<h2><strong>&nbsp;5. Capitol riot and ongoing influence</strong></h2>
<p>Trump&rsquo;s presidency ended with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, where his supporters tried to stop the election results from being certified. Afterwards, the House impeached Trump for a second time, charging him with "inciting insurrection," but the Senate did not convict him. Trump skipped Biden&rsquo;s inauguration, breaking tradition. Even after leaving office, Trump has stayed a powerful political figure, facing legal challenges but still commanding significant support within the Republican Party. &nbsp;</p>
