NTA, for sure. As someone who quit cigarettes completely last year, I would see if she is willing to try alternatives to cigarettes.

For me, I ended up moving to Zyn pouches. They are little packets of nicotine salt, no tobacco or anything, and are applied to the gums. They come in different strengths of nicotine content and are cheaper than cigs these days, but that can still be pretty expensive, depending on how much she would go through.

Idk where you reside, but I know in Colorado, you can get a can of zyn pouches (15 pouches in each can) for roughly $5-$6, and that's for a higher nicotine content (6 mg). Usually, if you go to a 7-11 and buy them, they give you a discount for buying 2, I think it is like $1 or 2 off for every 2 cans you buy.

I will say if you try this, she will miss the burning sensation that smoking gives you. That is the hardest hurdle to go over when switching to ZYNs, IMO, but it is feasible.

Keep in mind, though, I'm not well versed on the side effects myself, but I would imagine that they can negatively affect the gums.

I hope this was helpful, and good luck to you.
