Can one smoke a Vicodin to get high?

I have reason to believe my niece may be smoking Vicodin to get high. This morning she sent out a chain letter for thanksgiving to various people in her phone, our iPhones for some reason send whatever people reply to her back to a chain letter to everyone that received the chain letter. So at work I received an entire conversation of her and a friend were my niece was telling her she is "smoking a vikie." When asked where she got it, she replied "stole it from my brother." It clicked in my mind that my nephew just recently had his wisdom teeth out and was prescribed a generic Vicodin for pain. I've never heard of smoking a Vicodin, and can't seem to find a direct answer online.Id like to have much info before giving my brother a heart attack.

Well to be honest man, unless you can think of an explanation for those events, I'd suggest confronting her about it. I mean worst case, you'll just hear what it really meant, and you'll both just have a good laugh out of it. There's no harm in asking, but if you don't, you may be avoiding helping her with a serious problem.
