You still smite it if you're warwick and not getting a leash. If you aren't getting a leash, it means your mid is in their lane, and that means that no one is making sure they aren't counterjungling you. It would be simple enough to walk in and smite it away from you. The reason Shaco and Nunu go smiteless is because Shaco can clear first camp in a few seconds flat by placing 4 boxes before it spawns. Nunu's consume acts as a second smite, and its stronger as well, IIRC. WW, however, doesnt clear fast enough to ensure he doesn't get it stolen, and he doesnt have a psuedo-smite like Nunu, he just sustains well.
