Seriously, with all the knowledge that exists today regarding smoking and nicotine and associated dangers and risks, why would a pilot smoke? Duh-um!
I suppose you don't condone drinking alcohol or eating fried foods either?
I'm pretty sure that AK gets a discount on their health insurance by screening for nicotine; after you're hired they don't care.
