Yesterday I saw my friend smoking, so today I hoped to stop her from getting addicted or doing it again. I asked her if she tried smoking yesterday (rumours were going round she had too) and she acted as if it was a joke, said no and kept trying to change the conversation. I know she has told other friends. However, she does know I am strongly against smoking and she has in the past told me that she was too. How will I get her to terms with what she has done and stop her from ever doing it again? She seems to ruin her life at any opportunity- in the past she has been a cutter, anorexic and bullimic. Please help! (link)
As a smoker myself (definately not a t 12, though), I must say, I wish that I didn't smoke! Let her know that it is very unattractive! Many guys are turned off by smokers, especially as you get older. Also, the longer you smoke, the harder it is to quite! I quit for almost a year (when I found out I was pregnant I stopped right away), but when I went back to work after having him, I started again. Tell her you care about her and she only making her life shorter by smoking. Don't give up on her, though, that's the worst thing to do!!
