unlikely. Basically all cigarettes are produced by CNTC or one of their subsidiaries.
CNTC is owned by the state and rakes in a lot of money for the government.
There’s a profit ceiling, though. And a lot of countries are finding out that the larger cost of cigarette usage is borne by the healthcare systems that need to spend a disproportionate volume of resources to manage the various health complications caused by a lifetime of smoking.
If anything it should be easier to kill a cigarette industry owned by the government, because the ones profiting are the ones paying the long term cost
