The smoker is contributorily negligent or has assumed the risk of smoking (Well known throughout my rather long life). When we smoked at the corner of the schoolyard we called them "coffin nails". There should be no punitive damages in any such case. Perhaps there should be no punitive damages, period. In the early development of tort law there were none. The concept evolved as judges began to play robin hood.
