For more than 20 years,
Ibrahim Yucel has been putting butts in his mouth. Finally, he decided a drastic measure needed to be taken to keep him from smoking another cigarette. Ibrahim has been a two-pack-a-day smoker since he was 16, but when he saw his father pass away from lung cancer, he realized something needed to change. Inspired by the helmets worn by bikers, Ibrahim took 130-feet of copper wire and fashioned into a helmet (think a birdcage on his head). Then, going one step further, he gave the key to unlock it to his family, only to be unlocked for “proper meals,” since only “water & crackers” can get through the wiring.
