No. Peer pressure makes it sounds like they are "actively" pressured to smoke. And that, frankly, is not the case. I started smoking, not because of an active pressure from friends, but a passive one. It was to gain entrance in a community of friends. All of them would go outside to smoke, and you don't want to stay inside...so you also go outside...then you begin slowly, etc, etc, etc....
