#3Is this a joke? It talks about how to help children smoke cigarettes.

The intro paragraph makes it pretty clear IMO:
“The review paper is a staple of medical literature and, when well executed by an expert in the field, can provide a summary of literature that generates useful recommendations and new conceptualizations of a topic. However, if research results are selectively chosen, a review has the potential to create a convincing argument for a faulty hypothesis. Improper correlation or extrapolation of data can result in dangerously flawed conclusions. The following paper seeks to illustrate this point, using existing research to argue the hypothesis that cigarette smoking enhances endurance performance and should be incorporated into high-level training programs.”

It’s important to read the article in this case, as the first paragraph of the abstract points out that this is not a “real” paper, but a satirical one using scientific methods to point out how science can be twisted to draw outrageous conclusions

To be fair, I skimmed past that the first time as well and that's probably related to the author's point. The section about children is high comedy.

Since we’re doing hot takes for a satirical article, the article heavily focuses of Hgb increases related to smoking.
However, the author fails to mention that smoking significantly affects ventilation/perfusion, which would be more important in high-intensity activity.

In there next paper they recommend highly processed foods microwaved in plastic containers to mitigate and even improve ventilation, perfusion.
With the additional benefit of catabolism suppression by reducing overall human anatomical biodegradability.

#10Many years ago I heard of a fire in a restaurant (in France maybe?) where most people died of smoke inhalation. The only survivors were cigarette smokers.
