You mean besides telling her they kill you? Talking about sudden death? Pointing out that there's no good reason to take it, since it isn't guaranteed to kill you right away, so it doesn't work for suicide, and it doesn't give you any benefit, so there's no reason to take it for any life affirming purpose?
Good luck. That's a hard one, and I do wish you the best of luck. You might also tell her that the cardiac effects it can have might leave her fat and virtually immobile in the not long term. Think about having to sit in one place, while everyone around you is off having fun? Having to watch, instead of do? And let her know that that sort of effect can happen faster than she would believe.
Best luck to you.
