Soner Tugetkin, 48 hours after the earthquake in Adyaman, Turkey, came out from under the rubble with a cigarette in his mouth and was saved.
Videos of Tugetkin smoking while lying on a stretcher went viral, with users saying he gave them a reason to smile amid the tragedy.
As paramedics urged him to put down his cigarette, Tugetkin, confident that he had escaped death, refused to do so.
He explained to the Turkish media: I only had cigarettes and 1.5 liters of water with me. I was screaming for help. When I heard the response from the paramedics, I started lighting cigarettes one after another. That's why I had a cigarette in my hand when I went out.
Tugetkin refused to go to the hospital for treatment after being pulled from the rubble.
Pointing to his wife who was stuck under the rubble with their daughter, he said: I didn't want to go to the hospital because I didn't want to leave them.
