Explanation:

• The first option is inappropriate as it promotes another drug.
• The second option is confrontational and may damage relationships.
• The third option still keeps him in the smoking - prone environment.
• The fourth option ("No, I am going to the library. Want to join me?") firmly refuses smoking and offers an alternative activity, removing the temptation by leaving the situation and suggesting a positive alternative.
