Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
Smoking is prohibited for beginners if it causes significant harm, even if that harm is only anticipated in the future, whether the significant harm is presumed or likely to the extent that it causes concern among rational people. However, if there is no fear of significant harm, even if one does not smoke excessively, then it is permissible.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If using it causes significant harm to the person's body, it is not permissible. If one knows that starting to smoke will lead to this stage, it is also not permissible.
