In Ryan's slight defence, smoking does kill and there are mountains of scientific evidence directly linking it to multiple types of cancer, C.O.P.D., etc. So it's not really something to be "open minded about," and in my opinion, that doesn't make him a hypocrite

What I will say though is that the vast majority of smokers I've talked to are well aware of the health risks of smoking (because they're posted everywhere, even on the packs of cigarettes themselves here in Canada). It's just that these people are unfortunately so addicted and they just don't have it in them to quit, as much as they want to. So for Ryan to be telling people that smoking kills, to me, it comes off as quite snotty and pretentious. The "Nah, it's fine" responses he gets are likely people that are just trying to shoo this pretentious fly away from them because they've heard that shit so many times.

If Ryan is that pretentious, I presume he is socially unaware as well, and I'd agree late pre-merge or finals goat for him.
