'I'll Miss My Wife and Children Very Much'

This is sure a novel approach to quitting smoking.

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.

I hope he at least brings along some reading material.

He said: "I'll miss my wife and children very much, but hope this will lead to many years of extra life with them."

Even money the guys lights up as soon as he gets back.
