SOLO, Indonesia - Indonesia’s famous 15-year-old orangutan known for its decade-old smoking habit has been moved.

For years, Tori's habit was fueled by tourists throwing cigarettes in her enclosure so keepers decided to move her to a less accessible enclosure.

Only accessible by boat, Tori will now have kick the habit.

Her island paradise is surrounded by nearly 50 feet of water making it impossible for visitors to throw cigarettes her way.
