B. Celebrate smoke-free days with her and give her small gifts for not smoking. When trying to quit a habit like smoking its not only hard for the quitter but also for others around them. With the help of Jessica's friend giving her some encouragement with a small reward will give Jessica a goal of not smoking for one day, or two days; instead of seeing herself quitting cold turkey. Its the small feat that will keep her from not smoking because one day will turn into one week and one week into one month and so on. If you scold some one who is trying to quit a habit like smoking then Jessica will continue to smoke.
