The answer

Muslim scholars are almost unanimous regarding the prohibition of smoking, based on religious texts such as the Almighty's saying: "They ask you, 'What has been made lawful for them?' Say, 'All good things have been made lawful for you,'" and His saying in describing the Prophet: "He makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There shall be no harm or reciprocating harm." The harm and evil of smoking have been proven.
