How do i stop my best friend from smoking? -
My Friend, Best friend actually, has started smoking. Believe it or not, but shes only 12, i really don-t want her to smoke she even got my other friends to smoke too! EVEN my friend i have known forever and i know she knows shes gonna get in so much trouble when (if) her mum finds out. since all my friends pretty much smoke i feel left out, they now are wagging classes at school and SMOKING at school. a teacher nearly caught them. i thought my friend had stopped smoking and she promist me she would stop but she broke that promis TWISE!! i caught her everytime, my friends always ask me why do i care so much but the don-t realise thats what friends do THEY CARE FOR EACH OTHER!!!I-m like totally agenst underage smoking because it so bad for you! especially at the age of 12!! my Nana has been smoking for 52 years and i can see the damage its doing to her and i don-t want my friend to turn out like that!
can you guys help me! i need to tell her something that will actually make her stop for ever! not for 2 weeks.tell her that if she really was your best friend and if she really loved you she would stop for you, tell her that it could ruin her life and she will have yellow nails and teeth. tell her that you want her to stop for her own sake because you are worried about her because she is you best friend! if she doesn-t listen and carries on then she will find out on her own, this will definatly be the hard way out but she will be regretting smoking even if she doesn-t show it. but please don-t start yourself.
xTell her that smoking doesn-t make her look cool, it makes her look ugly! No girl wants to be called ugly lol so that will get her attention. Then print out these pictures here, and show them to her!!!

Here-s what it SHOULD look like:

Tell her how bad she smells and tell her you notice certain things in her appearance that are deteriorating (like bad skin, gross hair). Break it to her kindly of course, unfortunately vanity is a very good motivator for getting some smokers to break the habityou can-t make your friend do anything
although your trying to help her she needs to want to aswell
you can only be there for her
dnt condone what she does, but dnt loose a friend over a decision she makes herselfthis may seem harsh but idk, go and talk to her and tell her statistics and gros pictures of teeth and fingernails and diseases and make an example of your grandmother. If she tries to reason with you or say that she will quit and you know its just to get you to not stop being friends like before when she told you she would then just tell her that its either her lousy cigarettes or your friendship, if she tries to argue for smoking or giving excuses just walk away and leave from the conversation and do not talk to her unless she comes to you saying that she will quit her bad habit and you can actually see it in how she talks to you or just tell her shes gotta be done with them before you guys can be friends again. if it still doesn-t work your gunna have to tell someone if you truly care for her health.do not feel pressured to smoke. im in high school and so many people smoke but none of my friends do so i dont care about them they can go drink their beer and get run over by a car for all i care. but a friend is a serious matter do whateer it takes
