spend time with your friend by hanging out with them,keep feeding him or her gum as a substitute for smoking, a nice day at the spa if not that you can always steal their cigarettes take them away or just try to get a bunch of your friends together and stage an ambush to take your friend on a intervention trip to help get rid of the need to smoke

If your friend wishes to quit, then she'll quit and come looking to you for support...but to try to force or "scare"(as a smoker myself, I know the reasons not to smoke...but I do it because I like it, and if and when the time comes, I'll pay the consequences for it)her...that won't do any good. We all know the risks of smoking, we all know what can happen if you do it...if you're friend still considers to do it...then let it alone.

About the only thing a person can do is not smoke in front of the person trying to quit or get them drunk. Be supportive, not nagging. It's really up to the individual.

I guess the first question is: does your friend want to quit smoking? If yes, then be supportive of his/her choice...go to places where smoking isn't allowed, help them go through their house and get rid of all ash trays, lighters, and hidden stashes of cigarettes, for many just having a friend be there and wanting to help them quit is enough.

Buy her those patches that you put on your arm. My brother tried it and he really didn't feel like smoking, Also, find those pictures online that show how the insides of a smoker look. That should scare her, him away.

It's hard to get them to quite unless THEY want to. I tried for many years to quit because some of my family and friends didn't like it, but it was only until I realized I wanted to quit for ME, that I actually did.
Don't preach to them, that'll only make them want to light up another one. Just be supportive, etc.

Lock him/her in a room for a month and make them fight it out.
I dunno, maybe that isn't so nice... lol ; )
If you know they'd be honest, maybe promise to treat him/her to an ice cream, a coffee, a something, after each week they get through without smoking at all. Make it a fun get together incentive.

When she's passed out on 6 sleeping pills, sew up her mouth.

I think you can suggest your friend to eat a fish (edible ones) raw.
Maybe he/she will quit.It doesnt really work on everyone.
