I think the point of this conversation thread was to split hairs. :)
> "Smoking" is the noun form of the verb "to smoke", also known as a gerund.
Yes.
> "No" is an adjective (quantity) modifying "smoking".
Yes.
> "no smoking" is an action
That does not fit with my understanding. "Uncle Bob is no smoking." is not valid English. "No" is a word used when talking about sets of things/actions. To make an action that is the opposite of smoking, you have to use "not".
