Q: 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!
If she really just tried it that once, she's not likely to be addicted. She may be lying to you about it just because she's embarrassed that she did it at all. I would just keep an eye on her because, if that's the case, she probably won't do it again. In the end, you really can't keep her from doing something - she'll have to do it for herself - unless you want to try bringing her parents into it.

Thanks- Zoin.
