Okay, so I have this friend in my class who is probably my closest friend at the moment. We're both thirteen, but she's a lot more sociable than I am, and has recently been hanging out with other people (which I would normally be fine with). The thing is, many of them smoke, and my friend has been doing it too. It's not really my business, but I've talked to her about it, and so have a few of our other friends, and she isn't smoking regularly any more.
I'm really worried about her, because it's started to go a lot further than smoking. She's been going to shisha / hooka bars with her friends, even though I've warned her that smoking shisha can be a hundred times worse than smoking a cigarette, she says she likes it and has no intention of stopping. Today, she told me that she had smoked pot.
I'm really, really, worried that she'll become a drug addict or something, and I want her to stop before she messes up her life. She's an amazing friend, but I don't know how to help her.
Suggestion:
Unfortunately, the only person who can make your friend stop smoking is your friend herself. Not you. You are not responsible for her actions, and you should not try to be, although I can see that your heart is in the right place.
What you can do is encourage her to hang out with people who are a better influence, i.e. people who don't smoke pot Is there an adult that you trust who might be able to speak with her and maybe confront her about her behavior?
Whatever you do, just keep on being the loving, caring friend that you are. I have the feeling that she's going to really need you in the near future! I hope she realizes how lucky she is to have a friend like you!

Probably talk about her parents who love her so much. Send her creepy mails about smoking n how injurious it is. Talk to her about it. Tell her its not good and that u r wrried coz of it. Tell her tat she is spoiling her own life and if she wants to leave all u loving guys so soon..
There are many dis-advantages of smoking so teach gently about that…..
