The best thing to do is perhaps drop hints about the dangers of what she's doing, but don't be too pushy or condescending, as that will probably only drive her further away from you. Instead show her that you're fun to be around, too, and perhaps she'll realise that she doesn't need alcohol and cigarettes to have a good time.
Teenagers can be such fickle creatures at times, but believe me, even if she does get taken in by this crowd, she can't possibly stay with them forever.
