Are your employers suggesting your colds are caused by smoking?
Unless you're smoking on their premises there's nothing they can do about that.
Only other question is what is the sickness and absence policy?

Leave this on their desk then:

What causes a cold?

Colds are caused by viruses which attack the lining of the nose and throat, inflaming these areas. As they become inflamed, they begin to produce more mucus, resulting in a runny nose and sneezing.
More than 200 types of virus can cause a cold. Those most responsible for colds belong to one of two groups, rhinoviruses and coronaviruses.
Because a number of viruses can cause a cold, it's possible to have several colds, one after the other, as each one is caused by a different virus.
