Im in fainal year in engineering college.I have a feww very nice friend.They came in contact with bad guys and started smoking.Now they are the chain smokers.For a long time thay are percieving me to start smoking but i dont like smoking.There was a time they were my nice friend,they always used to think only good things abt me,now they want me to smoke.This is not the matter of ones or twice,daily they try to convince me.Many time i told them that i dont like it but they are not giving up.Is this called friendship? should i break my friendship with them?

no you should not break the friendship with them. but instead try to change them. what ever happens never change from your stand that you will not smoke. they may compel you to take a puff or two tell them at face that you are not interested . try to change them also.

Certainly, this is not friendship... Your friends will never force you to adopt bad things... they will always think for your happiness and joy. Good friends never want their friends to adopt their bad habits... Rest is up to you...

Yes, definately break frindship with them,noway in this earth u can call them friends. I'm smoking from last 14 years now and am thinking of the first day when i started smoking and curse the day and those friends. Move back ,stop ,think you don't deserve to be with them .
