I get that it's not my place to judge them or whatever, but they could at least have the decency to do it somewhere else.
She probably doesn't realize that it's affecting other people when she does that. I used to smoke outside in front of my dorm until an RA told me it was going into people's windows and there were complaints (used to smoke quite a bit). I had no idea I was doing this, I was just being lazy and not going too far out from my dorm. So I walked twenty feet away to a bench nearby and I could smoke in peace without bothering anyone but passersby. Bam, new smoking spot. So I'd talk to her about it (politely I might add. Probably didn't need to tell you that but it makes a huge difference) and it's likely she'll find a new spot, especially since you two seem to already know and like each other.
