That is fair but you can't pretend all food is bad when that's not true. That is what I took issue with. You can eat as many greens and lentils as you want. No such thing with cigs


The fact you can’t pretend _is the point_. A blanket policy of “no and never” that works well for other addictions or compulsions can’t be applied to food. :)

As a counter-factual, imagine if every time you wanted to smoke you had to decide if one particular type or brand of cigarette was good for you.
