Additional info, added Thursday June 14 2007, 8:59 pm: My friend just called one day and said, hey i have a secret. I smoke. I got really scared at started yelling at her. See, i had a health class in 7th grade, the prob, i got a failing grade cuz i was too imature to pay attention. Now, my friend smokes. I didn't offer. But i thought it looked kinda weird. So, i asked. She said no. i kept asking to try when finally she said ok. i tried it. it was gross. But she still does, i don't no how to help. any advice on how? O and i'm 13 so keep it PG-13 or PG..

you clearly care about this person very much to be blameful on yourself, so i'd suggest talking to him/her about it and tell them how you feel. also, if you smoke as well try to quit, too. it's extremely unhealty. hope i helped
