The cave is supposed to be stupidly dark. There’s a few ways to mitigate it, like the torch, but even just waiting around for a few minutes will lighten it up as Snake’s eyes adjust to the darkness. You can also use the glowing mushrooms, I think, or the cigar to help a little in the meantime.

Does the cigar actually hurt you? The description said it’s bad for your health so don’t smoke very often, so I took that as just don’t smoke at all

It does very, very slowly drain your health, but you would have to intentionally try to die from it. It’s kind of been an in-joke in MGS since the beginning, the cigarettes (cigar in 3) are occasionally actually useful items, such as using them in 1 to reveal laser tripwires if you missed the thermal goggles, but, well, tobacco is bad for you after all, so -1HP every ten seconds or so while it’s equipped.
