Ruling on not forbidding the evils that people have become accustomed to

Some people see certain evils but do not forbid them. For example, they may see someone smoking or listening to singing, and their hearts grieve over it with pain, but despite this, they do not dare to act—may Allah forgive us and them—That he should say to the smoker: to fear Allah, and to speak to them with wisdom and good exhortation. Instead, they remain silent and keep quiet. Is there any guidance for such brothers? And unfortunately, they are a considerable number. We ask Allah for guidance and success for us and for them?
In any case, he is falling short because he does not forbid what is wrong. However, sometimes this wrong is widespread,Meaning: such that everyone around him is smoking. Should he stand up to every single person? First, this would cause him some distress. Second, they might mock him, gather against him, and reject his words. Also, it may cause him to miss out on benefits. But he must, if he finds a person in the market, take him by the arm and say: "My brother! This is not permissible." However, sometimes if the smoker sees you, he knows that he has fallen into a wrong, respects you, and hides it.Do we say: Is that sufficient for your advice to him?Perhaps we would say: It is sufficient; because the man knew that you disapprove of this thing, and for this reason he felt shy of you and hid it.And it may be said: Now is the opportunity to guide him and say: "My brother! If you are now shy of me, then your shyness of Allah is more worthy. Allah is more deserving of being feared." And this becomes an opportunity for you to call him to Allah.

The important thing is that it is obligatory for a person to enjoin good and forbid evil to the extent of his ability: [al-Taghabun: 16] .
