PC has nothing to do with it. Do you really want visitors associating your site, even unconsciously, with addiction, the stench of smoke, death, etc.? Personal

Personally, when I see a business use stock photography that has cigarettes, I have that reaction. And I also wonder whether they're trying to appeal to smokers in particular or trying to convey something else about themselves that I don't understand. To me, it's no good.
How prominent is the cigarette? Could you have it edited out? Does the license for the stock photo permit that?

Editing it out has become quite the challenge given the amount of blur in the hand already. If you're curious, here's a look at the image: https://img42.com/tMbeJ https://img42.com/tMbeJ
