Do you mind my smoking here ?って自然？

コメントより

Do you mind my smoking here ?  なんて英語は不自然。これを不自然な英語と思わない段階で、この人はnative English speakerと話したことがないことが分かる。
Do you mind if I smoke here ? or Woud you mind if I smoked here ? sounds natural to native English speakers.
彼の英語力を全く評価しない。

別の人は

まだタバコを吸い始めていない場合には、Do you mind if I smoke here? の方が自然な英語だが、もう吸い始めちゃってる場合にはDo you mind my smoking here? は少し固く響くものの英語としては全く問題無い、とウチの高校のネイティブの先生が言ってた。何が言いたいのかというと、この動画だけで今井宏の英語力を批判するのは早計だということ。

アメリカ人は

 "Would you mind my smoking?" and "Do you mind my smoking?" are grammatically correct but sound stilted and wouldn't normally be used.

Your other sentences are, as you say, in more common use.

I think you can say "Would you mind if I smoked?" but "Would you mind if I smoke?" is not grammatically correct

 Can I smoke here?
Would you mind if I have a smoke?
Do you mind if I have a smoke?

"would/do you mind me smoking" would sort of be acceptable although the grammar is not perfect.

"Do you mind if I smoke/may I smoke" are not accurate for the context you are using it. They mean 'do you mind if i am a smoker?' and you have to mention the 'here' and/or 'now'.

"Do you mind if I ~have a~ smoke?" is the most appropriate.

 "do you mind if i smoke?" would be the most appropriate.
"may i smoke" would have the same meaning but would sound strange for that situation. "may I" would be more appropriate in formal type of a question.
"would you mind my smoking" is incorrect because it combines future and present tense.
"do you mind my smoking" would be appropriate if you were already smoking and you wanted to ask somebody if it bothered them

 Yes, "my smoking" is the direct object of the sentence.
