Yes, smoking is a folkway because it is an action that illicits a mild response from society. Onlookers note that the smoker is different, but a serious social sanction is not in order.

Smoking marijuana can also fall under the more serious category of law depending on where you are. This means that smokers violate norms so seriously that there are codified social sanctions in place.
