E cigs are very bad for you they have a lot of chemicals and formaldehyde in them. They are not better than smoking cigs. Both can cause birth defects. I would recommend quitting cold turkey. The first 2 weeks are the hardest but once you are past then your body won't crave the nicotine. I would say try chewing gum when ever your friend wants to smoke to try to get her mind off of it.
