If you care about what he's doing, ask him about, but don't be all angry and disapproving of it; ask why he does it and doesn't talk you (all) anymore.

thats the easiest way, you don't have to intervene though, most people grow out of it, after their trial phase, if you feel its getting out of control try to help him, but intervening could me ruining the friendship, and if that happens let him make his own mistakes.

Don't try talking him out of that, that will most likely make things worse (trust me, I know what I'm talking about).
Either you let him go, it's his life and he can do whatever he wants with it, or you talk to him like Jake said.

Talk to him (when other people arent around) and ask him why he does some of the things you are concerned about. And try to get him to stop smoking, tell him you worry about him and that you dont want to see him hurting himself.

You can definitely talk to him about it and caution him about his behaviour but remember that he will likely continue to do what he is doing if he wants to. People change as they grow up. They realize what they want to do as they get older and hopefully he will grow out of it.

If he is in serious danger when they make him do stuff, I'd tell someone but... more and more younger kids smoke these days. They learn and grow out of it. It may just be a phase to fit in more. If you want to intervene, remember that that comes with its own risks.

Keep showing concern for your friend though. If he knows you're there he may change his ways on his own.

Definitely try to talk to him. Like the others said don't be judgemental but just let him know that you are there and he can come to you if he does get into trouble.

Maybe you should talk to him about
