This is so ridiculous it makes me furious. You are absolutely right not to take this lying down. What the hell are they thinking? I mean, their smoking is a vice. It's a bad habit and it bothers others. Not only does it bother others, but it harms others' health. So they should in no way be allowed to continue this way. If they want to smoke, they should do it in their own, private time. Not in their workplace. You know, maybe you should develop an annoying bad habit that harms their health too. We must think of something. I know it's petty but it may be the only way to get your point across.
As for your boss, he's a lame ass. He doesn't want to tell people what to do? Well maybe you should take it up with his boss and tell him you'd be happy to take the job - since your boss isn't willing to do what he's paid for!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
