    If she doesn't want to quit, leave her alone.

    Freedom of choice is good for your soul. Don't smother her with your rules.

    But an Orangutan won't know if it bad for her or not, she's just addicted to it.

    As incredibly strong as they are, I would not want to be a handler for a pissed-off orang suffering nicotine withdrawals.

    Well no, but nicotine isn't good for you either, and I doubt the orangs would want to start smoking if they knew they could die from doing so.
