Smoking cigarettes MAY kill you it's true, others though smoke until the day they die of natural causes. However unless you are deliberately trying to poison yourself with nicotine, the act of smoking is not suicide. Stupid, yes I'm not arguing that. Suicide, no.

Also you have argued earlier that an addicted smoker has no choice regarding smoking cigarettes. IF that is true then obviously they can no longer be considered a person of sound mind with regards to cigarettes. Therefor the word suicide and the laws regarding it cannot apply.
