CBS Evening News: Chimp Can't Kick Cigs
It might be an obvious saying, but this is the perfect example of "monkey see, monkey do." When a chimpanzee started behaving in a uniquely human way, zookeepers knew they had a problem on their hands.
Charley, the smoking chimp picked smoking cigarettes after he picked up a pack of cigarettes thrown to him by the allegedly smarter humans who come to see him at a South African zoo.
Everybody gets a laugh watching Charley smoke, like a hairy scary star of an old tough guy film. But the people who care for him and care about him are not amused. Zookeepers have asked people to stop offering Charley cigarettes.

It's very sad that zoo visitors are providing the chimp with cigarettes. They will probably will end up putting the chimp on oxygen when he's older.

Well, it sounds like the zoo is not doing enough to prevent it either.

more study needs to be applied toward chimp behavior in secondary school if you ask me. this is no where near as 'creepy humanlike' these chimps are in every day activity.

I wonder if the other chimps do that stupid fake-coughing thing at him.

Proof that chimps aren't as smart as we thought they were. They're only as smart a smokers ...
