A man was recently arrested in Shanghai for allegedly murdering his wife because she objected to his smoking.

Hang and his wife frequently rowed after he became hooked on cigarettes last year.

He strangled his wife in a blind rage after she took all of his money to prevent him from buying any more cigarettes.
