By ABC7
July 27, 2012

Tori the 15-year-old orangutan has smoked cigarettes for a decade.

Visitors to the zoo toss her cigarettes to watch her puff away and flick ashes on the ground.

There are signs telling people to not give the animals food or tobacco.

Tori and her male partner have been relocated to an area away from zoo visitors in an effort to improve the welfare of the animals.
