I assume that you are talking about a life insurance policy or perhaps even a health insurance policy of some kind. The answer is the same either way. As all insurance companies are legal contracts the agreements are based on the conditions at the time the contracts were signed. The insurance company will not penalize anyone who starts smoking after the policy was issued. They will even reduce your rates and give you non-smoker rates if you quit smoking and can prove that you stay quit for a period of one year. The insurance company can provide testing to verify such. Both policies are the same as far as rates. Your price will not increase if you start smoking either.

Is a life insurance policy valid is taken out as a nonsmoker then resume back to smoking?

It usually would be invalid. Smoking is generally a clause for acceptance of the insurance. A smoker would pay higher rates for the insurance. So claiming to be a nonsmoker to get insurance and then smoking would be a type of fraud. Thus negating the policy and forfeiting all premiums payed.
