There is a smoking area airside in T4 and T2 (staff only?). Heathrow security can allow passengers, at discretion and providing there is enough time to transit to another terminal to have a smoke – usually this is for passengers that have an extended layover in LHR. Transit time from T5 to T4 is c. 30 minutes, including waiting for the bus. Passengers will need to clear security on arrival in the new terminal and then again in T5 when arriving back. You should easily allow 1h30 for this round trip and then still have enough time to get back to your T5 gate.
