I think that if it bothers you this much, you should tell her how you feel.
Let her know that her old friend isn't exactly the best influence, and you're worried she might start rubbing off on her. Don't be mean about it, but be honest with her, and let her know how you're really feeling.
But definitely confront her. I once had a friend who started hanging with the wrong crowd, but I was too shy to say anything about it. To put it nicely- she's now kind of a loser =X

I'd be sure to remind her not to allow herself to be influenced by her friend's actions. Remind her of the dangers of smoking, drugs, and sex.
Make sure you remind her of the FACTS, not school yard myths. Do that buy studying the risks of those things yourself. You have to admit, such risks are good for you to remind yourself about, too. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes.
Other than that, you can't stop her from making her own choices in this life. If she wants to be friends with the other girl, you can't stop that.
You can, however, look out for her.

Wow, is this ever a dangerous situation. You are absolutely right to be worried about your friend. If a person starts hanging out with someone who is a bad influence, it's a sign that they don't care about their own well being as much as they should. Let your friend know what you that you are concerned, and do not hang out with them when they are together. You cannot control what your friend does, but you can voice your opinion and keep your own friendships clean.
