Those are a couple of bad examples. Smokers know smoking is bad for you, and will often tell other people they shouldn't start smoking as they regret it themselves.

As such, disliking smoking is common amongst smokers, so the irony example doesn't really work. Even if you changed it to "people that have never smoked" it's actually fairly common for people to get lung cancer even if they've never smoked - passive smoking. It's why there are smoking bans all over the place.

Irony would be a man going to a meeting about road congestion in order to argue that it isn't a problem, but being late because of traffic. Hypocrisy would be a priest laying into modern society's loose morals, and then fucking the choirboy later on.

Yeah, I guess I used a bad example. I'm not too good with them at times.

It's not irony, it's HYPOCRISY.

Hypocrisy is someone known for doing something decrying that same thing they're known for doing (a chain-smoker saying "Smoking is bad for you!"

Irony is someone saying they dislike smoking, and through some sequence of events, dies BECAUSE of smoking.

Yes, you could say it's actually happened to her based on what it looks like, but seriously, this is hypocritical, not ironic.

Translated. Is Aya really one to talk, taking photos of other people in embarrassing situations?
