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)

Alright, here we go. If you see that your friend is smoking again, I would confront her about it later, actually telling her that you saw her. If you wish you may want to tell her that it hurt you that she lied to you about it in the past. However, you cannot make someone stop doing something. It is alright for you to voice your concern for her and let her know that you think what she is doing is wrong, but constantly telling her this will drive her away. She has to be willing in order to actually change.
