so my brother was over last night for a visit and he's a smoker....

@beermeplease i actually remember you saying you quit cold turkery. This new info changes everthing.

i would like to resubmit my answer changing it to [i]give it back to him[/i].

You need to give him back the cigarette and as you pass it to him talk about how your mother died and how painful it was to see that for the both of you .

hand him that stupid cancer stick as a symbol of him owning the process of smoking until he dies like your mom did (sorry for your loss) or makes a drastic change (which may be too late) to attempt to thwart that ending.

Flush it, man. You know it’s the only thing you can really do!!

@beermeplease this is rather a bad temptation it is up to you to have the courage too stick too you guns and say no i do not or do not want or even need this cigarette

No and main point its not your property tbh

If there’s any chance that you’ll be tempted to get another pack afterward, just get rid of it

Don't do it.

how did you quit and why did you quit? Being as you quit and he did not do you think he wants to quit and what is his barrier?

oh i took flush it because you seem a bit tempted and I understand quitting is really hard..

Throw it away? Yes you do

Sixteen years is a great achievement ! I’m amazed you could have someone smoking in your home. Above all, don’t smoke it. If it’s just one cigarette, I would toss it.
