Can prayer be considered invalid, or can entry into Paradise be forbidden due to smoking?

Smoking is one of the sins from which one must repent. It is not major disbelief that prevents entry into Paradise, nor does it invalidate prayer. One should be cautious of belittling sins, as some of them may nullify good deeds.
