How come the wind keeps putting out my lighter, but does nothing to the cigarette once it's lit?

For a few reasons.

1.  Solid verse gaseous/liquid fuel.  The fuel from your lighter is easily blown and dispersed, which greatly affects its ability to burn. Your cigarette is a solid fuel, and isn't blown away .

2.  Flame verse ember.  Flames are sensitive to wind, they're easily extinguished.  A match is harder to put out than a lighter because here, the solid fuel remains in place.  This is also a function of #1.  The ember in your cigarette is not susceptible to air currents, at  least not at the level you'd see in your typical wind.  Embers are actually encouraged by air movement, it brings fresh fuel (Oxygen) to the party, thats why the tip glows brighter when you inhale.  If you provided the optimal fuel:air mix, you could actually cause robust enough ignition to generate flames on the tip of your cig.
