All passengers entering the US even if only in transit Must go thru Customs and Immigration. Which means if a person is transiting the US as you are and are from a country which requires them to have a VISA to enter the US then even for a simple transit they will need to have gotten a VISA otherwise they will be denied entrance into the US and sent back to country of origin
dont know about smoking, food is usually a so so meal but you would hav ejust eaten on your EWR inbound anyway.
