References to "Cigarette":
------------

In BS CH2

George Owdon and his friend strolled past, smoking
cigarettes. They did not talk to the Death and Glories but
talked at them.
"At their old tricks again," said George loudly. "Casting
off boats."

In BS CH6

The "River Patrol" is on duty watching for boats being cast off.

The boat drifted by. Someone struck a match to light a
cigarette and Joe caught a glimpse of a face.
"I know you, Jim Towzer," said Joe. "I can see you."
----------

In CC CH6

Tom wanted advice, and
when he passed the Ferry, and was coming up towards
Horning village, he was very glad to see the glow of a
cigarette at the edge of the lawn, and to find his father,
resting from victims at last, watching or rather listening to
the big bream that come up in the evening and turn over on
the top of the water to stir the heart of any fisherman who
sees or hears them.
----------

In PP CH1

Farmer's wife was on the train, commenting on the dry weather.

"Aye," said the farmer's wife. "And where there's no
engines there's visitors with motor-cars and matches and
cigarettes and no more thought in their heads than a cheese
has. It takes nobbut a spark to start a fire when all's bone dry
for the kindling. Eh, and here we are. Yon's my farm..."
----------------

Except for Tom's Father, the other three references present a
negative concept towards cigarettes.

Hope this helps...
