Force creation of objects with new operator

I have a class where I want objects to commit suicide by calling

        delete this;

Therefore, I want to be sure that all objects are created only using
the new operator. I am thinking about making the constructor and
destructor private and adding a class function to call the constructor
like this:

        class Foo {
        public:
                static Foo *create(int foo) {
                        return new Foo(foo);
                }
                void destroy_yourself_when_done() {
                        delete this;
                }
        private:
                Foo(int foo) { ... }
                ~Foo() { ... }
        };

        void user()
        {
                Foo *f = Foo::create(0);
                // do something with f
                f->destroy_yourself_when_done();
        }

In the real code, the function destroy_yourself_when_done() is of
course more complex and commits suicide only when conditions are met
that the object is no longer needed.

Is this considered a clean approach? Are there better ways?
