Moralistic-puritanical, righteous: "You should not smoke cigarettes. Smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, and a number of other ailments, which you must avoid at all cost."
Obscure-unclear: " Well, I only smoke a pack a day- actually, sometimes I smoke 2 to 2 1/2 packs a day. Last month, I smoked anywhere from under 15 to over 82 cigarettes per day."
Obtuse-dull-witted, undiscerning: "How could a plant cause cancer? I don't understand why smoking is bad; millions of people do it."
Ordinary-everyday, common: "I used to be a heavy smoker. Since I quit last year, I feel better than ever."
Pedantic-didactic, scholastic, bookish: "Smoking is a practice that has been performed since 2000 B.C. by Native Americans in North and South America. Christopher Columbus propagated this custom in Europe after he returned from his travels in the 15th century."
