Stay out of her business and leave her alone if it bothers you so much. It's not that big a deal. Hmmmm hold on, I'm not from the States, what age are kids in 8th grade?

Tell her u know. She probably hid it from u because she doesn't want u to think bad of her. Then don't be prechie just say u might think that u will be able to quit but before u know it you will smoke to ease stress and by then u will be addicted. Tell her u care about her and u know she knows the dangers of smoking. Why start something u will want to quit for the rest of your life. Also with girls its a good idea to bring up the aging process smoking doesn't just give you wrinkles it decreases circulation which causes cellulite sagging skin dull skin and that she can expect to see these things as early as 19 year old if she is in the eigth grade now it happens way faster than you think.

Ask her if she is smoking. If you are best friends it shouldn't make you mad. Best friends accept each other as they are. If she kept it a secret it has to be because you disapprove.
Tell her your feelings about smoking and then just let it go. You cannot live her life. Love her for who she is.

You do what almost every person does...you do what feels right. Your friend could be destroying his or her life as we speak, it's gonna hurt but you'll have to confront it almost immediately, or you can let it become something that's bigger than both you and your friends. Help your friend overcome this problem. Now it can either be this or a nasty rumour, if so your friend needs to know.

You must ASK her if she wants help to quit smoking ... if she doesn't then all you can to is tell her that you are still friends, but that you would prefer it if she doesn't smoke when she's with you. That is ALL you can do.

Have you tried talking to her? If not, tell her mother. I wouldn't consider it tattling. It's called doing whats right. You could be saving a life. But first and foremost: Get proof first. Look b4 u leap, or it could get ugly.

I know you are upset but you like her. So get all your courage and talk her out of this. My teacher helper said if you leave them and they come back for you they like you. So say like if you don't stop i might not like you. Just talk to her like a best friend she is. BOL(best of luck)
