Everyone is on his own mind. Perhaps people were originally created to have their own views on life and opinions about the world around them. People with a similar outlook become friends, with different ones - opponents. And this is natural, otherwise life would turn into utopian boredom.
However, people often refuse to accept the possibility of the existence of other points of view, accepting them a priori false. They are stubborn and try to prove that only their opinion is true and has the right to exist, which causes outrage among the interlocutors and others.
It makes no sense to say that this situation did not affect anyone. Egocentric manifestations are inherent in everyone, especially perfectionists.
However, you should not blame a person just for his craving for smoking, for the fact that smoking brings him comfort and satisfaction. You can resort to pictures of burnt lungs in order to intimidate the smoker, but you should not seriously assume that he will accept it and correct it. The only conclusion for him will be that it is worth spending much less time with the propagandist, otherwise it will be repeated from time to time.
When people speak up, don't expect the other person to readily accept and follow their advice. This is stupid to say the least. If, for some reason, such a situation nevertheless happened, one can only draw one conclusion: the opponent has not yet matured to a personality.
An interesting fact is that often extreme views regarding the situation can teach us and, more importantly, save us in life. An example of this is surrogacy.
Purely hypothetically, it can be assumed that the overwhelming majority will see in him a world evil. However, many childless mothers who, for whatever reason, have lost the ability to bear children, will see this opportunity as the last chance for a happy life and family happiness.
From all of the above, the thesis follows: you should not try to change the opinion of another person in accordance with your own. You should be more tolerant of others. Perhaps then there will be a grain of goodness in the world.
