<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

My GF, we'll call her Jade, suffers from depression and gets stressed often when things get hard. She is having a hard time at the moment coping, due to college work, money, and other issues. In the past she has smoked on occasion to help relieve the stress and get away from it all, but she has never been a heavy smoker.

Since me and Jade became official, she has tried to stop the habit completely, as I voiced my concern for her health as well as the fact that I dislike smoking altogether. For the past few months, she has completely avoided using them, and just sent me a message or tried to do other things anytime she felt a craving for a cigarette. However, more recently she admitted to having a cigarette or two due to the stress building up on her, and she felt as though she couldn't cope. I've tried to be there for her as much as possible, but I work a full time job through the week so I'm not always available to talk with her.

She is currently on a waiting list for Therapy sessions for other unrelated issues (in the past) so I have suggested speaking with them about an alternative coping method to smoking, for when she feels stressed.

My question is, how can I help her deal with this and avoid smoking in the meantime, until Therapy sessions are available for her? I have never been a person to get stressed, nor have I suffered from depression, so I have no experience on this. Our relationship has been perfect so far with no issues between us, and I want to do as much as possible to help her get through these hard times without resorting to smoking cigarettes.
<bot>: My GF resorts to smoking cigarettes when under a lot of stress. What alternative methods are there to smoking cigarettes, besides Therapy which has a waiting list?
