My daughter has been clean since May. She also has bad asthma and started smoking about a year ago. She takes the same meds your daughter does and has had to have prednisone twice since she came back from rehab due to the smoking. Since I am a smoker I know how hard it is to quit and so I just leave my daughter alone and let her figure it out. The one thing that my daughter did do was get rid of the older addict boyfriend who supplied her drugs. She has since picked up a new one who is one big codie. Mine lived with me when she got out of the halfway house but has sinced moved in with her boyfriend. It really does make it easier not to get involved. If your daughter wants to stay clean she will continue to do the next right thing. And she will decide when it is time to quit smoking. It is hard to give up two addictions and although cigarettes smoking is extremely unhealthy, it is still better than drugs. Hugs, Marle
