Methane is a highly explosive gas. If cigarettes gave off any significant amount of methane, they would explode! The amount in cigarette smoke is of the same order as that in the Earth's atmosphere (0.000179%) which, as cigarette smoke is mainly "fresh air", is probably the source of most of it in cigarette smoke.
The health hazard of methane is not its toxicity but, when there is sufficient of it in the air we breathe (over 20%), not enough oxygen reaches the lungs and we can suffocate.
Methane is also produced by bacteria in animals' (including humans') instestines which results in "flatulence" (to use the medical term!). You are more likely to suffocate in a field of "flatulent" cows than by breathing in cigarette smoke.

Is methane gas bad for the environment?
The gas Methane is not Toxic , however it is highly flammable and can form many explosive mixtures with air. It's violently reactive with oxidizers, halogens, and some halogen-containing compounds. Methane is also an asphyxiant and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19.5% by displacement. When structures are built on or near landfills, methane off-gas can penetrate the buildings' interiors and expose occupants to significant levels of methane.
