It's a lifestyle choice someone has made. If you're really sincere about your interest in the person, you will take the person as they are - faults/flaws (in your opinion) along with the good. If you think "oh they will quit if they want to stay with me" or "I will get them to quit if it's the last thing I do" you'll save everyone time and grief to just step out of it.

in my case, I've voiced my personal choice regarding smoking, and have accepted the other's. They know that if they choose to quit, they will have my full support in whatever way they ask. In the meantime, we are who we are, and focus on the bigger things in life.
