The therapist said basically the same thing, she won't quit until she's ready but you can set terms that may make her uncomfortable about her decision to smoke..
I reiterate that he thought any threat of sanction would most likely be met with belligerence.

Totally agree with both of the above. Trying to push them to do anything they do not want to do will only make them dig their heels in.
The only thing that helped in my case was finally saying "your smoking is going to make you lose me" and with that she tried one time to stop but the time was not right.
Its a drug, a very powerful drug and available everywhere. Not easy to stop and they will not stop until THEY want to...
