AN ORANG-UTAN is to be forced to stub out its smoking habit.

Keepers plan to move 15-year-old Tori from her cage at Satwa Taru Jurug zoo in Solo, Java, to stop her smoking.

Tori learned to smoke a decade ago by imitating people and keepers want to move her away from visitors who throw her lit cigarettes so they can photograph her puffing away.
