Maybe: Tobacco products cause constriction of blood flow globally so would decrease the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles when they most need it.

Resting is fine: Taking a nap after strength training is fine. A nap will not ruin your muscle growth but will allow adequate muscle rest and recuperation.
