“You can tell people not to smoke but you’d be a hypocrite then. If a hypocrite is telling you not to do something they’re doing - that’s worthless.”
I couldn’t disagree with the “worthless” thing more, even if I tried.
Yes, I would be a hypocrite, but calling someone a “hypocrite” is merely a personal attack on their character. Someone’s character, ultimately, does not change the fact of the matter, which is that, in this case, smoking is harmful and you shouldn’t smoke if you want to be in good health. The person telling you this being a hypocrite has no bearing on that whatsoever—it’s intellectually fallacious to even suggest such a thing.
