No, because smoking is haram, it is also very bad for your health. In the UK very few people smoke anymore.

"In Britain in 1948, when surveys of smoking began, smoking was extremely prevalent among men: 82% smoked some form of tobacco and 65% were cigarette smokers. By 1970, the percentage of male cigarette smokers had fallen to 55%. From the 1970s onwards, smoking prevalence fell rapidly until the mid-1990s. Since then the rate has continued to fall slowly and in 2007 around a fifth (22%) of men (aged 16 and over) were reported as cigarette smokers. Between 2007 and 2009, the rate remained stable, and fell to 21% in 2010" Cancer research UK

Cigarette / Tobacco advertising was banned in the UK. So cigarette companies have used their money to advertise heavily in other countries that have no bans, such as India, Pakistan Indonesia etc

With regards to smoking being haram:

"Smoking is haraam, growing tobacco is haraam, and dealing in it is haraam, because of the great harm which it causes. It was narrated in the hadeeth; “There should be no causing harm or reciprocating harm."
Smoking is also one of al-khabaa’ith [evil things]. Allaah described the Prophet :saw: (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) as (interpretation of the meaning): “… he allows them as lawful al-Tayyibaat [all good and lawful things] and prohibits them as unlawful al-Khabaa’ith [all evil and unlawful things]…” [al-A’raaf 7:157]

And Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“They ask you what is lawful for them. Say: ‘Lawful unto you are al-tayyibaat…” [al-Maa’idah 5:4]"

From Fataawaa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah, 13/31

Smoking is well known as being a bad habit, it gives people bad breath, discolours their teeth, their fingers, clothes and also is very bad for the health. This is something non-Muslims are now "forbidding" in public places , so how can a Muslim who sees all these ill efffects not consider it to fall under the khaba'ith?
