What's ridiculous about it?  

That "Boyle smokes like a chimney and apparently would go bananas during
shoots when she wasn't able to have a drag while doing a scene"?

Well I can buy this.  Being an ex-heavy-smoker I can see how Boyle would
be bothered by not being allowed to smoke during a scene.  I'm certain
that acting is stressful, particularly TV acting with all of its' time
and budget constraints (few retakes).  Boyle probably was going nuts.

Or "Donna's cigarette smoking was done to accomodate her [Boyle], on top
of showing something weird happening with Donna"?

What's the problem with accomadating the actress since it fits so well
with Donna's weirdness?  Even if the writers hadn't originally intended
that smoking being evidence of Donna's personality change it works so why
not accomidate Boyle?
