It depends on how well he heals, and how much he smokes. His body might not know what to do with a tumor - would it turn the tumor into good tissue, or flush it out the backdoor like a waste product - or would it deal with it at all?
Also, the carbon buildup in your lungs from beathing smoky air (including cigarette smoke, campfire smoke, or car exhaust, whether it is toxic or not) never goes away.
Fortunately for WeaponX, the lungs can heal any diminished capacity caused by smoking - a normal human can regain a decent percentage of lung capacity within a month of quitting, so I suspect Wolverine can get his lungs back up within a day or so.
If you will recall "X-Men 2", Wolverine gets shot - a bullet straight into his forehead. Shortly thereafter, he heals, and the bullet just sorta falls out of his head. What do you suppose would happen to an ID chip? Or for that matter, a tumor?

However, the bullet had an exit route, that was the path it cut through his brain tissue when it hit him. Without an exit point, the tumor would be trapped inside. The only way to get it out would be to take a shotgun and fire it roughly at the tumor. The wound would heal, because he's Wolverine, and the tumor would be able to get out. But he only healed physical injuries. As for the RFID tag, it wasn't hurting him, so it would most likely just sit there. Also, the exit route would seal after the hypodermic needle was removed, so it wouldn't have anywhere else to go.

Odd that the wound would heal from the inside first, and then push the bullet out the exit route. In a normal human, I think the first thing to happen would be clotting at the entrance wound.

I realized this a few days ago when being bored and trying to see how long I can hold my breath. I officially quit smoking cigarettes on Nov 24. :)

True, however, a clot large enough to block off a bullet hole would take quite a while to form. Also, clots are very weak, and the larger density of the bullet would give it more than enough force, when combined with the force of it being pushed out to dislodge the clot.
