Does smoking cigarettes invalidate your whudu? (hanafi school) Please advise

It is not permissible to smoke cigarettes as that is harmful to one’s health. However, the smoking of cigarettes does not fall in the category of those things that invalidate the Wudhu.

Since smoking cigarettes is not permissible Does smoking cigarettes invalidate your whudu? (hanafi
