Poisoning a kid and having Jesse almost kill you as a result isn't that ninja-like. It may almost be the opposite. It seems like the kind of play that's beneath somebody like Gus, as well.

The whole concept of the kid being deliberately poisoned seems somewhat far-fetched to me. Culprit would have to know Jesse has the cigarette, would have to know what that cigarette contains, would have to somehow successfully poison only the kid. Seems like a lot of moving parts. Easier to just shoot him.

A desperate plan from a desperate man perhaps. Which is what Walt was at that point.
