Your attitude toward cigarettes probably has more to do with this than the actual cigarettes. Are you grossed out by cigarettes? Then it could represent another addiction in your life. Are you neutral or positive toward cigarettes? Then it could represent a person in your life who smokes or is struggling with addiction, or even a symbol of relaxation or change. You mentioned that you have smoked before but never made a habit of it; in that case, the cigarette could represent a dream or hope or life that never came to fruition. Dream symbols are highly subjective to the way a person relates to any particular idea.
