Last March the China’s Xinhua news agency reported that a farmer in Jilin province had been found with a tortoise that is addicted to nicotine. How they know it’s addicted I don’t know …
The farmer is a smoker and he said that he was surprised that the tortoise puffed on the smoke that he stuck in it’s mouth one day as a joke.
Since that time the farmer occasionally shares a smoke with the tortoise.
I doubt the tortoise is enjoying the smoke. Talk about animal cruelty!

good thing the farmer isn’t a drunkard! 🙂
