WTF... why did they supply the chimp with smokes. Surely that was a bad idea.

There was a story about that chimp on a documentary a while ago, it got hooked on cigarettes when the viewing public kept throwing cigarette butts into the enclosure.
The litte chimp would pick them up and smoke the remains, eventually becoming hooked.
A smoking chimp was also somewhat of a drawcard to the zoo so it was not a dicsouraged practise.....until now .

But the chimp is smarter and probably has greater will power than most people I know who smoke

Taking drugs makes more sense than smoking. (I do neither)
People atleast get something out of licking a tab. What do you get out of smoking? Besides wasting like $50 a week and getting fed through a drip when your older because you have throat/lung cancer.
Im pissed off because I refuse to date girls that smoke and thesedays thats literally 80% of the population.

Yep going through it for the 5th time at the moment.
After being in hospital for a week and not being able to spark up anyways I though why not. Unfortunately it seems it will mean the end of drinking beer,as a beer and a siggie is like meat pie and sause!

Music therapy, gives the chimp something to do and think about so it doesn't get cravings.
Also, how the hell does smoking help you 'relax' as I hear so many smokers put it? It's an agitant, not a depresant. It's more akin to speed than dope. It makes you more stressed, not more relaxed.
My point is music therapy helped. Who are you to question it?
