Mint-flavored cigarette

Question

Is it permitted to smoke mint-flavored cigarettes, such as Camel Crush, in which the flavor is noticeable only if one presses on the filter, but with regular smoking the taste is like that of a regular cigarette? And if this is forbidden, would it be permitted to smoke them without pressing on the filter?

Answer

Shalom u'vrachah 

It is permitted even to press on the filter. This is not eating, but rather “scent and breathing.”
