Is money earned from maintaining cigarette manufacturing machines permissible or forbidden?

If smoking is forbidden (haram), then its sin (ithm) extends to its manufacturer, seller, transporter, and anyone who assists in it, based on the Almighty's saying: "And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression." Consequently, working in the maintenance of equipment specific to cigarette manufacturing is forbidden (haram), and its wages are likewise forbidden, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah Almighty, when He forbids the eating of something, He also forbids its price."
