You need constant CO2 levels to see a benefit but I'll humour you...
1 cigarette contains around 0.7g of tobacco. Assuming all of that weight was pure carbon and reacted with O2 to form CO2 (which doesn't actually happen so these calculations are too generous) then you'd make 2.56g of CO2 per cigarette (atomic weight of carbon is 12 while atomic weight of oxygen is 16).
Assuming you want to make 1lb of CO2 per day you'd need to smoke 176 cigarettes a day.... every day, every hour of lights on... for your full length of flower. That's 15 per hour or one every 4mins.
Say that was enough to give us an extra 10% yield when run for 9 weeks. We can calculate that you would have smoked 11,000 cigarettes. So each individual cigarette would have contributed 0.0009% to your growth.
Say your total dry yield was 1lb exactly... then you can calculate that your individual cigarette added 0.004g to your total. To put it another way... you'd have to smoke 247 cigarettes to add 1g to your yield.
That is all assuming you're smoking in a sealed room. If you're ventilating with an exhaust then you're loosing that tiny amount of CO2 quickly so you'd have even less effect.
Remember, this is being extremely generous.
TLDR: NO
