I'm really worried about her. What should I tell her to convince her not to smoke?

well its kinda hard to convice a heavy smoker to stop but sometimes they see themselves that its better if they stop. i for one am quiting after i finish my current pack cause i'm gonna take up cycling. i guess u could try talk to her about it. even if u cant get her to stop try get her to cut back on them

Unless the person themselves want to stop, there isn't much you can do to make them stop. If I were you I wouldn't push the concept of quitting, you could cause arguments and even break the friendship.You should ask subtly,"Have you ever thought about quitting?"if she says she wants to quit, you should tell her your 100% behind her on it. If she doesn't want to quit, unfortunatly there isn't much you can do.Hope this helps!

smoking is a dissociation patternyou get away from the sadness which the lungs deal withby abusing the Kingdom of the PlantsGet to the grief and fear and the smoking will be done with easilySmoking is selfdenial, but it gives someone peace of mind for at least 10 minutes.

you neeed to tell her that you really care about her and you dont want to see her suffer from the effects of smoking. and you also dont want to lose her..
