Tell her she's scaring you and that you don't want anything bad to happen to her. Tell her she's very important in your life and you're afraid to loose her. Tell her you need her. Shell understand. Also tell her that you'll help her with whatever she needs to stop her habit. I know she loves you and will do anything for you. Its not easy to stop a smoking habit but if you two work together side by side it'll make things a whole lot easier!
Hope I helped!:o) good luck! [ blackluna7111's advice column | Ask blackluna7111 A Question ]

But please don't nag her about it everyday. A smoker will not stop unless they want to...and they have to REALLY want to. It is a very hard habit to break.
They also get a real stubborn streak when it comes to someone telling them to stop. I know this firsthand! So don't count her smokes and get on her
she will just get an attitude. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
