My friend has a cigarette problem what should I do?

[Elisew123]

My friend is a 25 year old tall beautiful woman with curves in all the right places and she models professionally.

However in the culture with her other friends she started smoking socially four years ago. And it progressively escalated.

This last year and a half since she turned 24 has been really rough though and it's hard to watch. She's been smoking a pack plus a day then smoking hookah in the evenings. And she's looking terrible her hair lost is loosing it's luster, she looks tired and sick, her teeth are yellowing, and it's really horrible.

I'm not sure what caused this addiction she never drank or did drugs. And as her friend I'm just not sure what to do. I'm really scared she's going to die young from this or ruin everything she's worked towards.

I don't know if you've ever bothered to find out why people like/need to smoke cigarettes. Why should she quit smoking just because YOU don't like it?
I was a life long smoker. Started in junior high school. All the cool kids did it to look cool.
But for me, I had bad anxiety all my life, and cigarettes were my best friend to calm me down. They got me through my divorce. They are like a friend that is always there for you to make you feel better I think there is something in them that helps get a person 's physical pain.
Now, all my life all we ever heard was that you'll get lung cancer if you smoke.
Well, I wished they had also informed us of other health risks that come with smoking cigarettes. Last year during an ultrasound, they found I have an aortic aneurysm that could burst open at any time and I'll bleed to death. It was caused strictly from smoking cigarettes. That did it for me. Last fall I smoked one part way until I didn't want them anymore.
Don't get me wrong, even though I no longer smoky, I'd give anything to have a few. I am grieving over someone and smoking would help me get through it, but I have a son, and he needs his Mama. So, bye bye to them forever.
I don't drink it take drugs either. Just ma smokes, and now that's gone.

That's not your problem. Stop worrying about other peoples problems and focus on yourself. If they are going to destroy themselves just leave it be. Don't let them drag you into their mess.

A lot of people just like to smoke. I knew a lot of people who said that they didn't care that it was bad for them, they liked it too much to give it up.

You tell her what you feel and if she doesn't listen then she will surely notice the difference in the change of men and how she doesn't get much attention when she gets worse.

Have her watch the documentary about the end of several Marlboro Men.

Nicotine caused the addiction obviously. She won't quit unless she wants to.

This is just a drug addiction and there's nothing you can do about it. It's not your problem.
