FWIW, the second part of the sentence is a direct contradiction of the first part.
- benj111 8y agoYes I could have worded it better :) How about: I don't want to make any claims about the upper bounds of smoking in the mid 19th century and earlier, but the lower bound is at least above what a layman would describe as 'niche'. Or is that too wordy?
- majewsky 8y agoQuite. :) The initial wording is alright, but I couldn't help but notice the ironic internal contradiction.
