The smell of other people's cigarette smoke can be alluring, but if she waits a year and then has a single cigarette it will be a great reminder that a) the only good thing about them is that they take away the craving for a cigarette, b) cigarettes taste like shit, and c) they'll make you feel queasy and heart-racey when you're not used to them. The first time I had one after giving up (and I'm not proud to say I've probably had 20-30 since I gave up about 5 years ago) I felt sick and like my heart was going to explode. I had to wonder why I'd persisted through that feeling long enough to become hooked in the first place.
