The answer

If the transaction with the cigarette vendor does not involve the sale of cigarettes, then there is no harm, such as if you supply him with goods or he mediates for you in their supply without you purchasing from him. As for purchasing goods from him, if he acquired them with unlawful money, then buying from him is forbidden. If this is unknown, but most of his money is unlawful, then dealing with him is disliked.
