All I'm saying is that it's fine to say that everything is subjective, but there is an objective reality and the choices made effect that objective reality. I don't think you're disagreeing with that, I just think it's important to say it while we're saying that everything is subjective.
Yep, you're right. But we're still pretty much dealing in the subjectivity area, sort of Objectively, if you want healthy lungs, it's better to not smoke. But it is not objectively better to not smoke (period). But I know what you're saying
