my girlfriend smokes cigs, i dont. she has for a long while, im not sure how long. a couple times, especially when we first started dating, 11 months ago, she told me she had stopped, when really, she hadnt. then finally, she told me she stopped for good, and a couple months back, she told me that she had been smoking, on a pretty regular basis. this crushed me, but didnt do anything to hurt our relationship. since then, i asked her to slow down, and she has, but its been down to 1-3 cigarettes most days. i dont think she was ever a heavy smoker, but still. having said this, she respects my wishes, and has never smoked around me, and doesnt smoke if she is going to see me that day.
i just hate the fact that its hurting her, and we both know it, and theres nothing i can do about it. ive talked it over with her so many times, its crazy, but it doesnt work. i cant think of anything else to get her to stop. she says she's tried, but cant.
its just killing me that she keeps hurting herself, and i cant do anything about it. anyone got any advice?
