break is only for iteration. What are you trying to do?
The example you've given is not a compelling use case,
since you can simply remove the line after break.

Also, Ruby's case/when doesn't fall through when clauses.

    case 1
    when 1
      puts "it's 1"
    when 2
      puts "this is not printed"
    end
