Are you serious?

Because she knew smoking was bad for her health, she knew it would
kill her, that she really wanted to quit and would if she could, but
she couldn't. And now, her grandson was pointing out to her that she
was a failure and a bad example. Essentially her grandson had just
told her that she was doing something really stupid, and she knew it
was true but couldn't change.
