Government authorities seized the adult ape named Shirley from a state-run zoo in Malaysia's southern Johor state last week after she and several other animals there were deemed to be living in poor conditions.
Shirley is now being quarantined at another zoo in a neighbouring state and is expected to be sent to a Malaysian wildlife center on Borneo Island within weeks.
Shirley is not being provided with any more cigarettes because smoking is not normal behaviour for orangutans. She is not addicted, but she might have formed a habit after mimicking human beings who were smoking around her.
