Answer:

Smoking is not good for your lungsPeriod.
Smoking anything is bad for your lungs.
Condensation happens due to dew pointThat is the time when the temperature of your duct work is within 3 degrees of the ambient temperature of the surrounding airIn other words, your duct work is cooler than the air surrounding itSomehow, you either have to cool the air in the attic to a closer temperature the duct work is, or heavily insulate the ductworkI suspect your duct work insulation is still not good enough.
