British Man Moving to Deserted Island to Quit Smoking
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Smoker Geoff Spice is to spend a month on an uninhabited island in a desperate bid to quit cigarettes.
Geoff, 56 — who began smoking at 13 — will be dropped off with just a tent, food and water on tiny Sgarabhaigh in the Outer Hebrides, off the coast of Scotland.
The retired banker will have only sheep, seals and birds for company.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Geoff, who is returning to Britain after living in Montenegro, has used patches, nicotine gum and self-help books in previous attempts to quit his 30-a-day habit.
He said: "I'll miss my wife and children very much, but hope this will lead to many years of extra life with them."
