 From the title of this article, I think this article is good to be read. It is  because it gives us an ideas to become a cool person in this new era. The author also tried to give advice about how to become a cool person just because he is an adult and ‘The Guru of Cool’. This is an example of inappropriate authority that have been found in this article. It is because the author used his own authorities to support the article. For my opinion the author is just a show-off and is very confident with his own opinion. Another fallacy that can be found in this article is slippery slope. It can be found in that article that smoking is bad for health. “it makes your teeth go yellow and give a pungent stench to your sweat”. This sentence really show the bad effect of smoking. There is also lack of evidences about what he had stated. For example in point 7, he states that clubbing is okay for some. In paragraph the author just gives an opinion without any evidence. As a conclusion, even though the article is good to read but it has few fallacies and also it contradicts our religion. As we know our religion tells us to not do anything are against our syariah as a muslim. We cannot simply do anything to become a cool person without care about our religion. Just be careful while read because it may effect our life.
