Smoking is NOT legal for those under the age of 18.
My advise is to just tell them not to smoke around you. Keep out of it as much as possible. If you are older than they are, someone could get the idea that you are buying smokes for them.
You can try to make them see that it is a nasty habit to have. However, if they are smoking they already know that.

Smoking isn't illegal or a crime, you know, meaning that you can't for example tell an older person like a counseller or their parents, cause this isn't something completely wrong ,it's just a habit, and even if the whole world tries to make you quit it, only you can quit it by yourself, because usually in smoking, people quit and then pick up the habit again a while later. The only thing you can do is to talk to them about it, tell them its wrong, tell them its unhealthy, how it causes cancer in the future when they are older, how it makes teeth yellow and it makes you cough and makes your voice thicker, basically just tell them the disadvantages, and that they should consider quitting and that you can help them. But if they are not convinced, then i don't think there is anything that you can do, because when they told you about this secret, they didn't tell you because they wanted help, they told you cause they wanted to share something with you, so see, there is a difference. This is someone telling you something, but not asking for help, they like it and they are not looking to change. And maybe if you stay clean and do not smoke, you'd be making some kind of statement, and they'd follow you.
