Here's a stop-smoking aid that might be just a little drastic:
An Iowa woman who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day became so frustrated with her addiction that she called the sheriff's department last week and asked officers to jail her for several days — just to help her kick the nasty habit.
"I've tried everything," Jodi Perkins told ABC News' Law & Justice Unit. "I'm only 39 and I smoke two packs a day and I just can't breathe. I would do anything in the world to quit smoking. I would go to jail. I'm just so sick of it."
The jail wouldn't take her.
Maybe she should go out and actually try to get arrested, like the guy in the O'Henry story who wanted a warm place to stay for Christmas.
