Elaine and the writers may have felt that cigar smoking isn't in the same category as smoking since you don't inhale. Or perhaps they included that little diddy since female celeberties have been showing up in the printed media with cigars -- kind of a spoof thing if ya know what I mean.

Fans discuss whether Elaine's character is inconsistent for accepting cigar smoking while opposing cigarettes, debating if cigars are culturally treated differently or if it's a character trait.

Exactly, Elaine is too trendy to be against cigars, but also too PC to tolerate cigarette smoking.
I think Elaine was only against smoking in the one episode when the pregnant woman was telling George's future because it was harmful to the unborn child, you may not be talking about this however and if that is the case please disregard this message.

Elaine was also against smoking in the episode where George was trying to break up with Susan. Elaine's advice to George "start smoking; I could never date a guy who smokes."
