Just tell them you choose not to smoke. If they are actually friends they will respect that. If they don't respect it, find new friends.

Find a new friend, they won't stop till you do it or until you get mad at them and they kick you out of their home.

Be the smarter person and a good example for your friends and family. Do not smoke. It's almost impossible to stop. I know.

Ask your family members if they love you. Hopefully they do. Ask them why they want to shorten your life. If they love, respect & care about your well being, ask them to smoke in another room or better outside. Friends,should also be understanding, & you have the right to ask them not to smoke around you. If they love you, they'll respect your wishes.

my biggest fear is being like my mom and becoming addicted and choosing drugs over my family like she did.

No you should not! And do not stay around people when they are smoking. Second hand smoke is worse on you than smoking yourself.

If your friends don't care about you enough to respect your decision then find new friends who will. As for your family; you can't replace your true family so you need to sit down and talk with them about why you don't want to start and that you'd appreciate it if they respected that.

I would tell them no, and also tell them if they continue to try to pressure you into doing something you a) do not want to do, b) is not good for me that you will be forced to have to not only chose not to smoke but also exclude them from your life. If they are friends and care they will get the message and should respect your decision.
