Morality as a friend
I [26M] have a friend that without a doubt is addicted to cigarettes, I'm pretty sure he tried to quit before or lower the consumption but last time I knew how much he smoked was about a whole box daily
Now, I travel from time to time and since I went to Japan I bought him Japanese cigarettes as a gift
Now since I'm going to see him again in a few months he asked (or I suggested I don't remember) to bring him American brands that don't sell in Mexico, or at least in my city that I've seen (American Spirit, Newport)
The dilemma came when some of my friends from the same group started pointing me out as a bad friend or a devil's advocate
The way I see is: I know my friend will smoke and will continue to smoke, independently of if I bring him foreign brands or not, at the end the only thing I'm doing is saving him some weekly money not adding quantity of cigarettes/month per se
