Im a former smoker so I know quitting is not easy. Do your girlfriend a huge favor and tell her if she continues to smoke she is tempting the inevitable. Wish you could see what I look like, I used to be very pretty and now I am disfigured. She too can look like me if she continues to smoke. Hope she makes up her mind to quit. Best wishes.
