Islamic scholars have been historically had mixed views about tobacco, and until now, there has not been a clear, unanimous fatwa (legal opinion) which to allow or forbid cigarette smoking.
Those mixed views on the subject came about because cigarettes are a more recent invention and did not exist at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an in the 7th century A.D. Therefore, one can’t find a verse of Qur'an, or words of the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w (peace be upon him), saying clearly that "cigarette smoking is forbidden."
