It is a rare type of Cancer and no one will voluntarily come and tell you. Please add as additional information to your question whatever you want so that it can be answered properly. Please be specific about what you want to know. However I give below certain details on Vulvar Cancer-
The exact cause of vulvar cancer isn't known. Most vulvar cancers occur in women between the ages of 55 and 85 who have a mutation or defect in the p53 tumor suppressor gene — a gene that plays a role in keeping cells from becoming cancerous. These women also often have lichen sclerosus — a condition that causes the vulvar skin to become thin and itchy.
The remaining 30 percent to 50 percent of vulvar cancers occur in younger women who have the sexually transmitted infection HPV, which appears to play a key role. It may take years or decades for vulvar cancer to develop after infection with HPV. Many times these women have a precancerous skin condition called vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia in multiple areas of the vulva, and they typically are smokers.-

Yes, I do have experience with Vulvar Cancer. In fact, I have had two surgeries to remove the disease. I help run a support group for women looking for other women to talk to about this "rare" cancer. I am willing to answer any questions you may have or feel free to join the group.

Well her case seems difficult, especially when she won't quit smoking. How about you do something exciting and adventurous with her... by that I mean that you should try a series of exciting events that may change her perspective about wanting to live with you, rather than having to die because of smoking. Specially when she's just 26; there's so much to life than just a piece of cigarette that controls your life. Hope I helped :D
