smartmontools is a CLI (CommandLine Interface) tool.   It does not have graphical Interface such as ordinary application, like Safari, Mail, etc...
You can setup and run smartmontools using Terminal.app.

If you intend to uninstall smartmontools, follow the steps bellow:
1.Open Applications > Utilities in Finder.
2.Find Terminal.app and open it
3.Type "cd /usr/local/sbin" in Terminal window.
4.Type "ls" in Terminal window.
5.Find "smart-pkg-uninstall" shell script.
6.Run "smart-pkg-uninstall" by type "./smart-pkg-uninstall" in Terminal Window.

Additionally, non-set upped CLI tools does not harm your Mac, so do nothing is one way...
