Working for a cigarette manufacturing company is forbidden because assisting in a forbidden act is forbidden. However, if the company has permissible activities and your work is restricted to them, it is permissible, though leaving is preferable. You must advise the manager to change the business activity; otherwise, you must leave the job immediately, unless there is a necessity, and delaying repentance is not permissible.
