And yet he has started to smoke again on a regularly basis.

I ‘saved’ his life once, back in 2002, when I blackmailed him into going to hospital.  He could have died then.

I only allowed him home on the promise that he would give up smoking.  Even I gave up to help him back then.  But now he’s scrounging fags off friends and smoking again.  I’m not sure what route to take:

kick him and his fags out?

give him a second, third or even fourth chance?

There are so many complications that I really don’t know.

Happily die here – or go home and die.

Whatever he does, he is going to kill himself.
