What ever happened to those chimps in educational videos seen puffing away in cages?

I propose that major hotels purchase these chimps and relegate them to the bathrooms of hotels. When a business traveller wakes up in the morning and feels groggy, a chimp could be summoned and in exchange for a cigarette (the non-smoking guest could arrange to buy a cigarette from the front desk), the chimp would shave, comb the hair, brush the teeth and draw a bath for said business traveller. Chimps are pretty smart primates, maybe they could even be taught to brew a pot of coffee. No animal need suffer a nicotine withdrawal fit ever again!

       What happened to them? Typically, after a set period of heavy smoking, they were euthanized and autopsied.
