This is in reply to the question below by the Asker:
The quantity of 100 cigarettes in a life time represents the technical demarcation line between above which a person is considered to have smoked at all. Anything less, based on the definition given, is considered negligible. Remember, it is all a metter of definition. Common sense has nothing to do with it. |
