I don't smoke (any more) but I do drink alcohol.  When I have travelled to countries where alcohol is forbidden or frowned up I don't drink.  I don't see that smoking is any different.
Im not sure because I dont smoke but I think you are only allowed to bring in 2 packs (50) cigarettes with you but I could be wrong.
I know drinking can be classed as an addiction and I know smoking is a big addiction but from what I have heard trying to give up smoking is one of the hardest things to do, so I cant see a tourist getting through their allocation of smokes and then not being able to purchase more except to go to one of the 500 outlets that will sell reduced nicotine cigarettes.
