I live in Vic, but I was reading about NSW laws dealing with this problem... From an SMH article... "Tenants who create too much smoke when barbecuing their lamb chops or sausages on unit balconies could soon face fines of up to $2200 under proposed changes to strata laws. The same goes for smokers if the smoke from their cigarettes or cigars drifts into neighbouring units."

"proposed" changes. I'm living in the same situation in NSW. There is no recourse that I know of, unless your strata has a non-smoking by-law, which almost none do. The proposed changes to strata laws will AFAIK only apply to new developments. We are currently looking to move since some addicts moved in next door, but there is no guarantee the next place we move to won't have the same problem. Asthma attacks caused by a selfish person's addiction are no fun. The government is ignoring the suffering of non-smokers forced to live near these disgusting addicts.
