This is advice from a ex smoker.. I've been cigarette free since October 2006.. I smoked for 4 years.. The only way she is ever going to quit is for her to WANT to quit badly enough.. My biggest problem quitting was that I didn't want to.. I enjoyed smoking too much but was getting tons of pressure to quit.. I ended up smoking in secret.. What finally did it for me is realizing that I was slowly killing myself with every cigarette I smoked.. I didn't want to die and having a family history of cancer I quit cold turkey.. Gum, Sunflower seeds, rolled up paper, alcohol and food are not the answer.. it's just a way to transfer your addiction to some new addiction.. I would highly recommend staying away from your friends who smoke, at least for the first month or so.. With a lot of help from God (if you believe) and focusing on other things like taking up Journaling or Singing whatever healthy activity that helps you unwind!
