Personally I don't think that smoking could fall into Schedule 3 paragraph
5, I believe that is requires active steps taken by the data subject to
place their data into the public forum. Indulging in a habit in public is
not the same as deliberately making information available in the public
sphere.
This area of the act is to cover examples of public figures who have
publicly disclosure data, not the man on the street having a quick fake.

Subject: Smoking - Sensitive or Not?
Would smoking (unless totally a closet activity with all evidence
expunged) not normally fall into the category Schedule 3
paragraph 5
"the information contained in the personal data has been made
public as a result of steps deliberately taken by the data
subject"?
