Is it permitted to roll a cigarette on Yom Tov according to those who allow smoking on Yom Tov? Is there a difference between twisting a wick, which is considered building, and rolling a cigarette?

According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita

it is forbidden to roll a cigarette on Yom Tov, as it is considered making a utensil.
