Hey buddy,
Look regarding smoking and alcohol you have to ask if he smoke or drink or not in all cases right? well, depending on the answer you wether proceed asking cage or counseling or not.
I mean if he is smoker or alcoholic so counsel if he just drink occasionally, like a beer every week so don't counsel.
That's it nice and easy Smile
