Hi Jerry,
I started a new thread in Symptoms and Diagnosis.
As far as the smoking, his version of reality is:
Yes, he quit.
"Except for when he goes out at night with friends." "But not all the time." Oh, and "except for when he switched to cigars temporarily."

I think he has quit now though.

Thank you
