In minute quantities (approx.10-30 micrograms/kg in tobacco smoke), far too small to do any -- noticeable harm when compared to the other ingredients.
And far too little to do any noticeable harm when compared to the levels of arsenic in the food we eat, the water we drink and the 'fresh air' breathe.
The smoke from one cigarette MAY contain UP TO 30 nanograms (billionths of a gram) of arsenic. The maximum level of arsenic allowed in drinking water is 10 parts per billion. So half a litre of water (500grams) may contain 5,000 nanograms of arsenic, equivalent to that from over 150 cigarettes or more, and still be considered 'safe'.
The maximum level of arsenic in food, such as bacon and eggs, is 500 parts per billion. A 'safe' egg weighing approximately 60 grams may contain up to 30,000 nanograms of arsenic - 1,000 cigarettes-worth.
P.S. Historically, some tobacco may have contained signficantly greater concentrations of arsenic. (Tobacco Control are not particular concerning the source of their 'facts'.) The insecticide lead arsenate was widely used, not only on tobacco but also on other crops, such as apples and cranberries. Its use was banned in the 1980s.

How does arsenic from cigarettes effect the body?
Humans ingest an average of 50 milligrams of Arsenic a day, 80% of this comes from Meat, Fish, Poultry and Crop grown products; the other 20% comes from drinking water. Cigarettes contain approximately 0.8 micrograms of arsenic per pack (0.04 micrograms per cigarette). Two basic forms of arsenic exist; organic and inorganic. Inorganic arsenic is more poisonous than organic, and is present in cigarettes, drinking water and crops grown in the USA. The same amount of arsenic is present in crops as is in cigarettes. The reason behind this is that farmers used arsenic for pesticides, and the soil still contains this compound which is then filtered into drinking water supplies or into the plants themselves. Tobacco itself does not contain arsenic, it is a left over from pesticides still present in the soil. The full answer to your question (once you understand how it got there) is; Arsenic in tobacco effects you the same way as the arsenic in corn, too much will kill you (corn or tobacco).
