The reasons Skye’s article probably got a bad reaction is that
one , his reader ship audience is automatically going to be
made up of people who are wildly anti-smoking and were
so aghast at the suggestion and mention of smoking they
mentally tuned out and maybe even stopped reading and
two , Skye comes across as so dry and humorless , most of
the time , that people don’t expect sarcasm from him .
