No, you are entitled to the same breaks as everyone else (assuming you are over 18 that is one 20 minute break if you work 6 hours or more). Other breaks, including cigarette breaks, are at the discresion of the employer.
Refusing breaks needed as a result of any health condition or disability or you could be a breach of the Disability Discrimination Act.

You are not entitled to smoke at all when you are at work.
Your employer may allow this as a privilege.
