LOL, I guess you assume all those who eat at a buffet do so to excess? All so you don't need to justify your smoking by pointing out other health issues. I know people who smoke right after church and drive to that same buffet, your point is what>?
What's the point of a buffet if you aren't going to gorge yourself? Just order a regular meal. I don't think he is justifying smoking, just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy. How about just don't judge anyone for what they eat, drink or smoke. It is not your concern.
