Abstract
Thinking about this case, initially in a legalistic way (and using the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA), which governs England and Wales), the first question is whether Bill has capacity to make decisions about his smoking. He certainly has a disorder of his brain that puts his decision-making abilities in jeopardy, which is the first stage required under the MCA in order to say someone lacks capacity.
