We as smokers didnt appreciate being preached to so I don't think we should do it to others. But, explaining that you didn't think you could do it and telling someone about the patch or this site, and then letting them make the decision is different I think. I tell many people about how I quit but I try to do it in a nice way and I always tell them when your ready you will know. Preaching and badgering will not get you anywhere, when my husband bugged me I went and smoked even more lol.
I think you did well by not preaching to her and it sounds as if you where thinking of her feelings as well and I think thats important.
