She may think that she is behaving in a grownup way but you are the one with sense on your side. Here is some advice that I think you might give her: 1.Smoking cigarettes is addictive and expensive. 2.It can make you ill later in life. Even breathing in other people’s smoke can make you ill. 3.It is a dirty habit. 4.It is more difficult to stop then it is to start.

Second, talk to your friend gently and explain that you are still good friends and don’t want to break this friendship. However, you will not begin smoking to suit her. Give her the information above and then explain that whatever she chooses to do you will remain her friend. Don’t be disappointed Xiaolei. Good luck and best wishes. Sun Gao
