Certainly no major international carrier.

I heard one story from a customer. In the early 2000s he was flying LH First Class to Tokyo. He was really anxious, because he couldn´t smoke for 12 hours and asked the Purser for nicotine patches. Instead of those the Purser brought an ashtray provided by the Captain. He was alone in First Class that day, so I guess he was very lucky that the Captain was a smoker too 
(Well according to a lot of various reports out there, the flight deck smells like smoke!)

1998 is a long time ago. Aeroflot has not permitted smoking for many years, and on domestic Russian flights it was not allowed even in the 1990s. Interestingly, even in the 1980s there was no smoking allowed on Soviet trains, either—you had to stand outside, in between the cars, to smoke. Not much fun in wintertime!
The last flight I was on that allowed smoking was EgyptAir in, I believe, 2001. I’ve flown them many times since and there’s no smoking on their flights anymore either.
