Eh I think it's a coping mechanism. I mean by this point in time everybody knows how dangerous smoking is for you, so people try to convince themselves that it's not as bad if they do it with friends. If it's a large group then you can't be ostracized, plus it gives you someone to talk to.
Anyways I have to agree with Tore, I've never found quitting to be that particularly hard, but resisting temptation is a whole other story. Then again even at the height of my smoking I was never more than 3-4 a day, so I don't know how much my opinion counts for on that subject.
