My guy buddy wants his girlfriend to stop smoking... and asks me for advice. Help.

So my friend's girlfriend is an avid smoker, she smokes a couple packs a day and is quite addicted. She has no plans on quitting and no matter how much my buddy wants her to quit she refuses to. I totally understand why he wants her to quit for the health benefits but at the same time it's her choice to do it. Y'know? Anyways, I have no idea what to tell him and he goes to me for advice all the time. I tried looking at google and this site for previous answers to this question and I didn't find any surprisingly! So gag, what do you think? Don't even think about what I should say, what should he do?

personaly when I see a girls smokeing it's a huge turn off (I'm a non smoker because it's a waste of money and cigerates stink)

if I'm dateing someone and I see them smokeing I'll just break up with them (if it's very early in the relationship) if he's been with her for a while he might have to get use to her smokeing. he could just print off anti smokeing pictures and tape them around the house. he could also say his apartment/room is a smokeing free room.

there is nothing he can say to get her to stop smoking. she will only stop when/if she is ready. I smoked for 6 years quit about 6 months ago. every time my family would talk to me about quitting it just feel like I needed a smoke more. he can tell her he is concerned for her or wishes she would quit or cut back even but in the end its up to her.
