What do you recommend if i had a long-term addiction with nicotine. she used to smokecan i help her to stop this addiction?

Don't understand ?: You say "she used to smoke" then you ask if you can help her "stop this addiction." But you say she already has. Nobody can stop someone else's destructive behavior. However, friends and family can help improve motivation, and provide love and concern for the affected individual. They CANNOT however motivate that person.
