Let's say you have a friend who can't stop smoking cigarette, and you don't believe him saying that he is concern about his health. And you say:

"If you were really concern about your health, basically, you already have stopped smoking by now."

I think this is ungrammatical, is there any correct phrase to express what I am trying to say?
