A: "Smoking is not allowed inside the hospital or in/on the parking lot. Patients should not consume alcohol."

A: It really depends on your context.
"You're better to stop smoking" implies someone has done a good thing for themselves by not smoking. You could also say, "It's good that you quit/stop smoking."
"You're better to go to bed now" sounds weird. You wouldn't really say this unless the person was being a lot more responsible than the rest of the group. You'd more likely hear it as a command, "You'd better go to bed now". [you+had= you'd]
"You're better to speak English." technically isn't unnatural, it's just a kind of pretentious thing to be told I think. Try instead something like, "It's cool that you speak English", "You're better to learn another language", "It's good of you to learn English" or "You're better at speaking English." which is a different answer than the other prior three..
