Sorry, I don't have biblical references to this.
But the first question is are they harming themselves? Does their viewing Porn affect their jobs, personal finances, personal relationships, or intimate relationships? If so, then you probably need to suggest a twelve step program.
If the Porn is not troubling them, you could suggest they pray for the men and women they are viewing. Some of them have severe problems.
On the other hand, you might consider why you have such a problem with their porn use. Porn might not be for you, but that is your choice. You should probably trust your friends and church-mates to make decisions for themselves.

Don't worry. My boyfriend who is the nicest and greatest person in the world is addicted to porn. He said he used to watch porn up to 8 hours a day, but is now down to 2 hours when he does watch because he didn't want to waste so much of his time on TV. Now, he buys porn movies once every two weeks. It's perfectly normal for men to be addicted to porn. It's in your DNA!

Unfortunately the bible doesn't really give us insight into 'how' to combat pornography and other related sins. BUT, I have read a book atleast 3 times that is Christian based and very helpful. It's called 'Every Young Man's Battle' by Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with this kinda thing.

I think you need to look around for other friends, people who aren't hypocrites. The people you describe are pretending to be Christians, but are into something which is definitely not a part of traditional Christianity.
I don't know that you can change the people you describe. I'm not entirely sure that trying to change people is either possible, or desirable. They must have heard the quote that "any man who looks at a woman lustfully is committing adultery", and yet they are continuing to do so. So, try to find people whose interests and inclinations match yours better.

Pornography is extremely addictive. Many, many people (Christian or otherwise) struggle with viewing pornographic media.
It is addictive because it appeals to man's baser instincts. We get pleasure from masturbation, and viewing nudity or explicit sexual acts is a stimulus for this pleasure.
Pornography has ruined lives. Like marijuana, at first it seems "fun" but ultimately leads to craving for more, hardcore experiences. Soon, looking at pictures isn't enough, so you watch movies. Then that gets boring, and you start seeking extra-marital affairs (either fornication or adultery).
It is a shame that so many people handle such dangerous material with such lightheartedness. I, myself, have struggled with this issue for years upon years and speak from vicious experiences.
The bible instructs us that everything we do should give glory to God. Professing Christians cannot possibly justify pornography in any manner - our scriptures are clear that even looking at someone with lust is fornication or adultery.
Unfortunately, we live in a world of consumer Christianity. People just pick and choose what to believe and what to discard. They want a savior, but not salvation. The want a cross, but no Christ.
Many people will be saddened on that day when Jesus looks upon them. The will say "Lord we did all these things in your name." And He will tell them "Depart from me, you workers of iniquity. I never knew you."

I'm not making this up and it isn't in jest. There's a website called xxxchurch, which is a real evangelical website, that deals with that.

Hope this helps!

If you like looking at porn or if your friends like looking at porn, and the porn use isn't getting in the way of work or family obligations, you ought to set aside any ideology that makes you feel guilty about it.

Are they really Christians, or do they just call themselves that? If they go to church with you, you can talk to your preacher about it but just don't tell him who they are.. A whole lot of people have never been to church, don't ever read the bible but claim to be Christian because they say they beleive in Jesus. There is more to being a Christian than that.
Many people claim to beleive in Jesus but like I said above they have never been to church nor read the bible, so they just make up their own beleif system and call it Christian. a lot of people who do read the bible and do go to church three times a week do this also.
Bottom line, is you cannot control others, but if they really are Christian and do go to church you can try and talk to them and tell them they are sinning and setting a bad example. You might try and use me as an example and tell them if they met me and tried to "witness" to me their testimony would be null and void due to their behaviour.
I was Christian and even a preacher, but left Christianity and I have no tolerance for someone who tries to "witness" to me when they willfully sin. If however I know the person and know they have a good heart, I will kindly and gently tell them I am not interested, but do it with kindness, but to the hypocrits who sin more than I do but claim to be christian, I am very hard on them because I still know scripture even though I no longer beleive it.
If a person is truly trying I try to encourage them and will let them talk about their faith.
Non christians will do anything they want to because they are not bound by the bible.
I do however commend on your desire to show them the error of their ways since they claim to be Christian. One reason people like myself and many athiests are so hard on Christians is because of christians like your friends. Too many times we have people telling us we need Jesus when their lives are a mess and full of sin, but when we point that sin out, they get mad tell us we can't judge them because they are only human and are saved sinners and Jesus is working on them. That is the biggest copout of all.

Song of Solomon Chapter 4 vs 3-5
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
