Like what Asian airline, just out of curiosity? SQ, CX, NH, OZ, TG, MH? I must be extremely lucky not to have encountered it all these years.
First time I've heard of the airplane smoking thing in Asia, outside of China...

Really, "ALL"? That's quite a huge huge net there...

CZ flight crew smoking on board?
So this is obviously not the novelty I thought it was!
The last time I had to breathe in other people's smoke on an aircraft was in 1996 on a JAT flight from LHR-BEG. I was asked at check in whether I wanted smoking or non-smoking, and was given a non-smoking aisle seat on the DEF side. As soon as we left the ground, just about everyone on the ABC side lit up... :-D
Seriously, I've never encountered crew smoking on any other Asian carrier, and I'm surprised that it seems to be so common.

That said I've never personally tested it myself since I don't smoke.

I think it's an ingrained part of Chinese culture that smoking is readily accepted even in places it is supposedly banned.
I was in Shenzhen on the weekend (so hardly a third-tier city in the middle of nowhere) and people were smoking everywhere. That included two police officers at Lo Wu Immigration Centre whose desk had a very large 'No Smoking' sign on it.

I don't want to seem unkind, but this is obviously a really big deal for you. If you really cannot be in the presence of cigarette smoke, then perhaps you should consider alternative modes of transport.
