A friend of mine

[TacoRocco]

Well, I have a friend, and she has done drugs and stuff in her past. Anyways, her parents really trust me because I don't do drugs and blah blah, basically they think I'm a good influence. Well, I recently found out that my friend still smokes. I don't know what I should do.
If I keep it to myself, her parents may not trust me as much, and I won't be able to hang out with her.
If I tell her parents, I'm not sure if she will trust me anymore.
Should I get her to quit? How would I do that without her parents finding out?
In any situation, I feel like I'm breaking someone's trust, so I'm stuck on what to do.

If I were you, I wouldn't tell her parents. In my opinion it's up to every single person to decide whether to smoke or not. I believe that you have no right to insist on her quitting smoking either. If you're friends you can tell her what smoking causes but I think you can't tell her what to do. She may listen to your advice or may not, I have no idea about her age but sooner or later she will make up her mind what is good for her and what is not if she hasn't made it yet.

That is another reason I didn't want to get her to quit, I don't want to force it on her, but also I am her only friend that her parents that she really hangs out with, and we are like always hanging out, so I might get blamed for her smoking. I didn't plan on telling her parents, and she knows the dangers of smoking. She says shes trying to quit, but she hasn't been.

In all honesty, never tell the parents. Just because they think you're a good influence is by no means a good reason to tell on her. It's her own nasty habit, and not yours. You can casually mention to her that smoking is bad, and you'd rather not see her die from in, but do not force her to quit, and do not tell her parents.
