Can you give me some explanation that why first statement is incorrect ?
 
It means " He doesn't smoke" is the correct statement . Is that right ?
 
"He doesn't smoke" is the correct statement. Is that right?

Yes, 'He don't smoke' is a non-standard and dialect version.

Note how I have removed spaces around your punctuation marks.
