I did read it, at no point did I see them proposing smoking as treatment. Rather, they're proposing nicotine patches.

Even if it was administered by smoking, nicotine would be about as safe a drug as you can find at that dose. You'd be hard pressed to find a case where somebody died upon smoking their first cigarette. Aspirin, Paracetamol or Ibuprofin are way more dangerous than that.
It would be undue diligence not to investigate this potential treatment vector, even if it turns out to be some weird statistical artifact.
