Is it normal that my friends do opposite of peer pressure?

A couple of my friends smokeed some cigarettes once, and when they were they said, "Hey, you want one?", so I said, "No" because I don't know why I would, but then they say, "Oh, probably a good thing, you don't want to get addicted". I was confused, I said, "I thought your supposed to say something like, "Come on it's fun"!
And they said, "No, why would I want you to be addicted to one of the most expensive and harmful habits of them all?"

It was like the opposite of peer pressure, I guess it was good after all, but is this normal?

    He probably regrets his habit. So he doesn't want you to start.

    because it is fun for a while but then your brain adapt and you have to smoke to be normal, which is a waste of time.

    There is no such thing as peer pressure. Unless someone puts a gun to your head, or is seriously going to harm or kill you if you don't do drugs. Every decision you make in life is always your choice. Don't believe that stupid bullshit. Everyone is responsible for what they choose to do, just own up to it. But be grateful you have friends that care about you, just do what you want to do though. It's your life and if they are truly your friends they will accept you.

    The school system teaches you that this is what people will do and to watch out for them. In reality its true, some people are like that. But not everyone, its not so extreme. Its very normal for people not to peer pressure, I never try not to myself. Be happy you have good friends :]

    Reverse psychology, maybe?

    I'm like this too. I had this friend that had an obsession with smoking weed for the first time, she'd always beg me to smoke with her. I always said no. She does meth now. Smh.
