Re[2]: Master Morya's pipe

It was common in past decades to think there was lots of ozone near the sea, despite scientists knowing what ozone was. We know now that the bracing smell of the sea is a whole bunch of things, probably including oxides of nitrogen, which incidentally are present in pipe smoke.

Look at the associations the word had when it was used.

O3 as we know it, but something else. One of her sons was a pharmacist
and should have known features of ozone for sure.
