[quote=danthedart]
Yes we have different ethical standards and ethics is different for each person… but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a discussion about what is ethical or not. It doesn’t mean we can’t debate ethics does it? Isn’t that the point of this conversation?
Somehow you turned it into a “You’re a hypocrite” thing. [/quote]
Ethics can absolutely be discussed here. Which is exactly what we’ve been doing. And within the context of discussing ethics I have noted that I think you’re a hypocrite and explained my rationale for such belief quite clearly. I’m hopeful that we possess the mental agility to discuss two related issues at once. Perhaps I’m wrong.

[/quote]We can talk about two issues at once, but like I’ve said before, these two “issues” are absolutely unrelated.
Whether or not a chain smoker is a hypocrite has nothing to do with whether or not smoking is healthy.

“Absolutely unrelated”? Are you sure? The chain smoker is (obviously) a smoker. Discussion of smoking as unhealthy is (obviously) about smoking. In each case, smoking is present. Is it possible that someone’s chain smoking affects their views on whether or not smoking is healthy? I think it’s reasonably likely. Consequently, a side bar discussion as to whether or not the chain smoker is a hypocrite, within the context of discussing the degree to which smoking may or may not be unhealthy, doesn’t seem too far fetched.
