Plan: Planning the right actions to help you quit smoking is more important than will power. Start cutting back, set a quit date, get rid of all triggers, don't hang around smokers, do not drink alcohol, exercise, start new hobbies, support groups, are some effective methods. Nicotine replacement therapy can be tried if non-medicinal modalities fail.

Smoking: The best is a strong "will power" - stop buying them and try to not be around smokers or cigarette smoke. Try to focus on other positive things to keep the urge away. Having a strong family support to coax you is always a plus.

You can't: It has to come from her. You can't change other people's addiction, however close you are.

Could I get some advice and tips on how to quit smoking?

Everyone is: different but setting target date to stop and then stopping completely on that day can be effective. Learning some self-hypnosis can support this plan of action. Chewing gum or eating mints is useful, especially at high risk times like coffee breaks. Peace and good health.
