Both my parents were long time smokers. My dad quit when I was in high school, and my mother quit a number of times, but "needed" them and would start again. She had her wakeup call 10+ years ago after her second heart attack and hasn't smoked since. I know it is hard, but I hope your situation and her scare may make the difference.
Perhaps you can tell her that all you want for Christmas is for her to quit smoking!
