Planned redesign of cigarettes abandoned by one European (9)
I believe the answer is:
strategic
'planned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'redesign of cigarettes abandoned by one european' is the wordplay.
'redesign of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'redesigns' mean this).
'abandoned by' is a deletion indicator.
'one european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'cigarettes' with 'e' taken out is 'cigarttes'.
'cigarttes' with letters rearranged gives 'STRATEGIC'.
(Other definitions for strategic that I've seen before include "Tactical" , "Of long-term planning" , "Relating to long-term plans" , "Forming part of a long-term plan" , "To do with a carefully workedout plan of action" .)
