'tu quoque' am I iwrong?

RE: 'tu quoque' am I iwrong?
I think your communication partner is suffering from QUphobia. QUphobia is the fear of meanings of words that contain two Qs and two Us. I digress.

The appearance of hypocrisy 'must' be true in at least one instance for tu quoque. The fallacy exists when the hypocrisy is used as a means of refuting the proposition. Example:

Me: Smoking has been proven to have adverse affects on health.
Them: Do you smoke?
Me: Yes
Them: Then smoking isn't bad for you.

This is an example of the tu quoque fallacy.
