Selling Cigarettes to Smokers

Question

Is it permissible to sell cigarettes to people who are already addicted?

Answer

Hello 

It is permissible to sell. 

And it is not considered "placing a stumbling block before the blind," since one can smoke a single cigarette, and one cigarette does not harm.
