Is it permissible to offer cigarettes as a bribe in non-Islamic countries to facilitate transactions, knowing their impermissibility and that the recipients consume things even more corrupting?

The answer is summarized in the following points:

1. Ruling on bribery: It is forbidden if it is to invalidate a right or establish a falsehood, and it is among the grave sins. However, if it is to obtain a right or repel injustice, it is permissible for the giver and forbidden for the receiver. 2. Ruling on tobacco: It is forbidden. 3. Buying tobacco or similar forbidden items for an oppressor to obtain a right or repel injustice: The general rule for this is prohibition, because it is aiding in sin. However, if tobacco is determined to be the only means to obtain the right or repel the injustice, then there is no harm in that.
