You left out the best part of the article!

MOSCOW - A Russian chimpanzee has been sent to rehab by zookeepers to cure the smoking and beer-drinking habits he has picked up, a popular daily reported on Friday. An ex-performer, Zhora became aggressive at his circus and was transferred to a zoo in the southern Russian city of Rostov, where he fathered several baby chimps, learned to draw with markers and picked up his two vices.

"The beer and cigarettes were ruining him. He would pester passers-by for booze," the Komsomolskaya Pravda paper said.

It added he has now been transferred to the city of Kazan, about 800 km (500 miles) east of Moscow, for rehabilitation treatment.

Now my question is how do you rehab an ape? Something tells me the 12 step aproach may not work?

I would think the only way would be to seperate him from his enablers, Russian zoo patrons.

He could be conditioned to fear the cigs and booze through negative reinforcement maybe. I cannot think of a way for him to return to his original situation and abstain in any humane way.

Poor chimp I'd wanna smoke and drink too if I was locked up in a cage all day

That is some pretty funny shit. o those asking about rehab for a monkey, I presume they would be using aversion therapy but I could be wrong.

It doesn't even look like he inhaled the smoke off that cigarette, I wonder why he finds it addictive? If I was the one paying for his smoking and drinking I would want him to quit too! haha

^He's an ape not a bitch, he inhaled it like at least 3x as hard as you without coughing.
