Eating ice cubes may be a sign of anemia (not enough iron in the blood.) Iron is needed to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.

I would try switching it with something else like maybe a ice popsicle or something like that
I eat a lot of ice in the summer, too. It really helps a person cool down, because there are a lot of blood vessels close to the surface in your mouth. Why is it a problem? Not like she's smoking crack!
Well, if she is sucking on the ice, no problem. But trying to eat a frozen cube might cause some tooth breakage. Get her to crush the ice. Less chance of damage. Put cubes in a plastic bag, beat with a hammer and you have crushed ice.
Advise her to purchase an ice crusher to the pieces are smaller, because she can very well break a tooth.
Ice cubes are fine, BUT if its the ice from the surrounds of the freezer that could make a person ill, bacteria etc.
I chewed ice the whole time I was pregnant for my daughter, even in the winter.
