Kannapell Page: A13 ALL FORMS OF SMOKING ARE BAD The April 21 anti-smoking editorial, "Kicking the habit," seemed to be contradicted by The Post's Page A3 photo of a man apparently enjoying a marijuana cigarette ["Thousands celebrate annual pot holiday," Politics & the Nation Digest]. This casual depiction appeared with no caution or warning that marijuana may be harmful. On the one hand, The Post is dulling our senses to a substance that has been hurtful to so many, while, later in the paper, it continues its long advocacy against tobacco use. Please be consistent and advocate against all forms of smoking, which are always a health threat, even if a "feel-good" health threat. Raymond J. Kannapell, Charlottesville - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
