Summary
Smoking is prohibited at all times and in all places, especially in the month of Ramadan. The Prophet's practice was to break the fast with fresh dates, or dried dates if none were available, or otherwise water. A person who smokes at the time of breaking fast is considered to have broken the fast, but the act remains prohibited and may diminish the reward of the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
