bajar los humos is similar to the English "...take the wind out of his sails..." "take you down a peg" and so on so...
Los amigos te bajan los humos cuando te pasas de santurron
Your friends take you down a peg(literally: "turn down the smoke") when you pass yourself off as being sanctimonious/ being better than others/in the right/, that kind of thing.
