its ok to decide to abstain from smoking, but be careful about how you express your distaste for the habit. smokers are stigmatized in this country and the key to voicing your opinion on the subject is to make clear your respect for the smokers themselves and not base your opinions of them on their smoking. i understand you're friends with this fellow, but alot of smokers dont quite as an act of defiance towards the way they are regarded by non-smokers.
This is a good warning about the dangers of smoking. If this scene is true to life, I hope that Ben will take good care of himself, and try to overcome his smoking habit, getting professional help with that if necessary.
