Just spend some time talking to her, and if she seeems like a nice person, someone you could be friends with, be a friend to her - tell her she doesn't need to smoke to be friends, but if she want's to that's cool too.
Explain to her both the positive and neagtive things you've experienced with smoking, especially make sure she understands that she'll get addicted, and that it's her decision, and then if you want to be friends with her be helpful and supportive whichever way she decides.
