Go to Jail to Quit Smoking?

I just heard on the news that an Iowa woman asked her local sheriff to put her in jail for a few day to help her quit smoking. She states that she has tried everything else without success. The sheriff turned her down, saying a warrant would have to be issued for her arrest before he could oblige her. She even offered to pay for the jail stay! That is really going to extremes, and shows just how addictive tobacco is to some people.

Well, in England we have a ban to smoke in restaurants and pubs now, from July. It arrived earlier in the rest of Europe, though! Thanks for leaving a message on my blog, can you please let me know which is your site on etsy?? Well done for quitting!
