Can hanging out with Anti-Smokers give you OCD?
Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions.

"OCD is a common debilitating condition affecting individuals from childhood through adult life. There is good evidence of genetic contribution to its etiology, but environmental risk factors also are likely to be involved. The condition probably has a complex pattern of inheritance. Molecular studies have identified several potentially relevant genes, but much additional research is needed to establish definitive causes of the condition."
I highly doubt hanging out with Anti-smokers can give you OCD. OCD is not easily obtained, it can be from traumatizing events, genes, etc.

No, why would it? OCD is usually related to a predisposition for anxiety disorders and may be a manifestation of otherwise generalized anxiety
