I apologize if that was confusing (though it clearly makes a comparison using the words: ...any more than...). If someone reads "all the words" in the post, it does compare "a person" that may smoke a pipe once a week with "me," whom my doctor allows 1 desert per week (pipe and desert are clearly spelled differently) ..... Of course, I am still looking for the post where it says I smoke, that Gerry seems so sure of.....Maybe this is the thread he is speaking of? Of course, there is one of our members here that smokes a pipe. Maybe he will decide to pipe in as well and shed some light on the matter.

Gerry I understand your occupational/environmental health experience, but you cannot take this and become legalistic about it. You yourself have said, "I wasn't going to post anything on smoking because I figured everyone would just take it as another legalistic or self righteous post, a label I no doubt deserve."
