Get her drunk (ie, go out, have a nice meal, plenty of wine). Then when she lights up ask her to stop.
She'll probably say why.
Then you say because you'll die young and horribly.
She (being pissed) will say "So what - I'll enjoy it while it lasts"
Ask her to think about that - no, really think. Ask her to really think if smoking is worth having a shite quality of life during the last 5 years. Ask her what will happen after she dies. Ask her if she wants to see X-rays showing the cancer spreading - knowing that she's going to die.
Smoking is not like driving fast cars (where if something goes wrong you've only got seconds to worry about it). Dieing from smoking can take months if not years. Make her think what living her life will be like in those final months.
Ask her to think about this each time she lights up.
Er, job done.
BTW - I smoked, and I stopped. Be harsh - it's the only way. Only seems to work when pissed, being ineberated (sic?) seems to make the mind think deeper and longer and hopefully that's what sticks the next day.
