What do I do in this situation?
I've got these new friends in this new college I've just joined. These guys have been friends for a long time and they all joined the same college to be together. Somehow I befriended one of them and got into their group. Now they take me to be part of their group. The problem is these guys are big time smokers. Like yeah,I've got a lot of friends in the college,but being in a group is what defines you. Everyone sees me along with these guys,...you know the rest. So I don't smoke and every time I hang out with them,I'm forced to passive smoke. I can't even move away from them because I would be missing the gossip and the whole point of being with them will be lost. As far as we are in college(where smoking is banned) its all cool,we eat lunch together,hang out together during the breaks and stuff but once we're out they go to their joint and I also have to sit with them there as its a nice way to chill out after/before college and I'm forced to inhale the smoke. What do I do now?. We even stay in the same area ,we go to college together in our respective vehicles,we bunk classes together. Someone please help.

Alright, My closest friends ever has been in the same situation as you. He doesnt smoke or drink..and He doesnt have to just cuz his friends do it. When they go smoking he goes with them but then he doesnt smoke with em.. He buys a bottle of thum's up or whatever he likes..! The point is, You dont always have to do what your friends do knowing that it wrong. In this case, dont let ur feelings overpower ur brain. U know whats right.. and As far as chillin out is concerned u DEFINATELY DONT NEED SMOKE to chill out. U be with them, get urself a drink or maybe somethin to eat.. and sit with em.. Talk..and have fun! Thats what my friend does.. and trust me m proud of him..! :)

Tell them how you feel if that doesnt work out move on man there are thousands of other groups that would define you as a better person if you cant say no to a bad thing then you are one of its causes by not discouraging them you end up encouraging them and making yourself feel bad do you want to live all your life in guilt when you hear that one of them has died of lung cancer...?

you just be friendly with them as they are addicted to smoking tell them the bad causes to health.for example tell them that smoking can lead to cancer and they should not smoke.45million people are suffering from smoking and they also smoke they will also be included
