NCL has now banned smoking on balconies... From their website:
As the health and well-being of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, Norwegian Cruise Line will institute changes to its smoking policy for all sailings on or after November 1, 2014.... The specific changes prohibit smoking on stateroom balconies and limit smoking in the casino to players.
There are designated ares on the decks for smokers, but fines can be imposed:
smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 cleaning charge added to your onboard account.... Electronic cigarettes cannot be used in public areas where there is a No smoking policy in force; simply because these cigarettes look so realistic and therefore other guests' perception is that we are not enforcing the No smoking rule.[/color][/left][/color]

Hope this clears it up. I'm cruising on the Breakaway in October. If I smell cigarettes from my balcony, I plan to notify someone so that the offenders will get hit with the fee.
