I wouldn't worry so much about smoke because of your open balcony. The smoke issue happens when you have rude neighbors that smoke on their balcony, which can happen on any balcony.  If you happen to get a rude neighbor, I would inform my cabin steward first, if that doesn't help, go to the Purser's desk and tell them.  Not sure either will help but maybe.  And, you can always ask or inform your neighbor that it is against ship policy for them to smoke in their cabin and balcony.  I too hate smoke and have had those rude neighbors, some with cigar smoke!!
