UK bans sale of cigarettes to future generations.

They don't need to be told how to live their lives. They're grown ass adults who make choices just like you do every day. Don't need to be nagged about it.

My brother didn't mind that I tried to help him, but he wanted to stop himself. It helped me. If someone doesn't want to stop then it's indeed better to not say anything.

Smokers know that cigarettes aren't good for them. Some people feel the need to tell them this like they are clueless. They choose to do it just like someone chooses to drink or eat too much or eat things that are unhealthy. Nobody needs to be schooled in the facts about how these things are bad for you. And generally if they wanna quit they will do it on their own. It's their life. It's good that you see that though.

I honestly can't say why I smoked. I just did. Maybe it was because it was something to do. I don't miss it now. Wish I had never started. But it was my choice. It wouldn't have mattered if someone told me how bad they were. I can read and see the warnings on the package.

Did your brother manage to stop?
 
My aunt started smoking as a teen and was still smoking when she died of lung cancer at age 85. Her daughter (my cousin) smoked 2 packs a day until age 65, when she abruptly stopped completely. She died of lung cancer 13 years later at age 78.

He stopped but he started again. He started when he was 16 though. That's way harder. I only really smoked 2 years and then I got addicted to nicotin chewing gum. Got rid of that with nicotin patches. Wish I had done that 10 years earlier. It only annoyed me when people who had never smoked and had no idea, would say: Just stop. Thanks mate. Really helpful.
 
Although I don't smoke and don't care who does, This law is wrong, they shouldn't be able to completely ban people from smoking. Other people there smoke so evidently it's not illegal. That is really over reach.
