i hate the smell and being around her when she does it. + its bad for her! what can i do to convince her to stop without seeming like an overbearing *****? i found an article in Seventeen about how you gain weight & various other things and thought about ripping it out and giving it to her... but I just know I'd feel like a little ***** ughh

What a great, concerned friend you are, first of all!
But you need to remember that you cannot change anyone but yourself. Just let her know how worried you are about her habit. Tell her you want her to be around and healthy for years to come so you two can be friends!!
That's about all you can reasonably do. When she is ready to quit, she will. It's not something you can really cause her to do.

You should talk to her about what can happen in the future and if that doesnt work buy her like drug-free smoking gum. Like it helps make the person stop, i think it was nicorette or something...

show her a picture of her lungs in ten years,or if shes really preppy and is concerned about her appearance,smell,ect. put your shirt over your nose when your around her and when she asks why tell her her breath smells like sewage.... or anything like that.... it'll get in her head after awhile.

you can't get anyone to do anything they really don't want to. So, you could just tell her of the risks and health issues that may arise, but you can't really help someone that doesn't want to be helped.
Good luck!
