The POINT was not THAT he smokes, dear. 
It is that he continues to smoke in his office even when he has been WARNED that it is illegal, and he is to stop. (Maybe he needs to be arrested?)
RIGHT THERE is his attitude in a nutshell:
"The rules do not apply to me."
So, when he is ALSO WARNED to stop touching the women at work...
He cops that same attitude... "The rules do not apply to ME! I am ABOVE the law."
It follows a pattern of DOING and NOT LISTENING.
"Don't touch women!"    
"Well, it was a SIDE HUG so it doesn't count because I am ABOVE reproach!"
All the while it puts his hand right next to her breast!
I imagine that such a skeevee dude would make a woman shiver just having him touch her arm.
