Yes, if they died from eating hundreds of cigarettes

    If I take a cigarette, remove the tobacco, and put it in a pipe and smoke it, did it produce cigarette smoke or pipe tobacco smoke?

    If I set up a condenser, and capture a bunch of cigarette smoke in the air from someone who's smoking, and then dry that and light it on fire, is that cigarette smoke or cigarette smoke smoke?

    I think this is more a taxonomy question than anything, and the answer depends on the above questions, lol.

    Cremation happens in a very high temperature, able to basically turn the body into a vapour before the vapour then burns. The heat might very well be enough to alter the chemical compounds enough that the resulting gases can no longer be called cigarette smoke.

    I have no answer but thank you for the best laugh we had in ages.

    I'm assuming any tar in your lungs would give off a bit of a cigarette odour if isolated, otherwise all you'd smell is that mouthwatering goodness of "crackle". /s

    Do the math.

    The combined weight of both lungs is less than three pounds.

    Even if the lungs were completely covered with tobacco tars, it wouldn't be more than one pound.
