The answer

If the company deals exclusively in selling cigarettes, then working for it is forbidden (haram) because it constitutes aiding in sin. There is no difference between it and a usurious bank in terms of aiding in disobedience, even though usury is a greater sin. However, if the company has other permissible activities, then there is no objection to working for it, provided one engages only in the lawful area.
