A 27-year-old man was sentenced to 5 months and a week in jail after he pleaded guilty in court for harming his girlfriend yesterday (July 8)

The man faced a total of 5 charges including 4 for voluntarily causing hurt and 1 other.

The defendant yelled at the victim and suddenly bit her nipple, causing the victim to cry in pain. The defendant was arrested by the police at 7:45 AM and he was subsequently released on bail.

He pressed the victim to the ground with his left hand. Seeing detergent powder scattered on the ground, he grabbed a handful and put it in her mouth.

The defendant tried to put washing powder into the victim’s mouth at least three times. She finally broke free and called the police with the help of a friend leading to his arrest.

A netizen shared a unique way of helping her boyfriend to quit smoking, by “smoking him” if you know what I mean. But she is seeking other ways rather than doing that all the time.

Here is the story:

I’m looking for advice or even your own experience on your helping your loved ones to quit smoking. I have been wanting my boyfriend to quit smoking for so long but he keeps telling me is hard to do it.

He said that he is struggling and finds himself needing something to distract him. I jokingly said that I will “smoke” him if he needed it as a distraction but it was just a joke. What started out as a joke has become real, I have to do it for him twice a day and he keeps saying that if he doesn’t get the distraction he needs he will smoke again.

But I did check and found out that he did not smoke for over a week, but I can’t do this much longer my lips are starting to hurt and a bit sore. Should I continue to encourage him this way or should I stop here?

Has anyone had similar experiences as me before?
