Smoking in the cockpit is not unusual in some countries. If you don't want to see it, then you could stick to western European carriers, US carriers and Australian carriers. It's not that I agree with smoking in the cockpit, but just saying it happens in some countries.
By the way smoking does have some (admittedly probably fairly minor) flight safety implications.

At least, when they use it and have an interference problem, they have an idea of what it might be causing it.
