Hi Julie
I am quite sure these were fake cigarettes …they did not seem to “burn away” 😉 forgot to ask him though.
In the time the setting was transported (60ies in USA) everyone was smoking as we can see in the old films.

It may just be me, but I wish directors would not have cigarettes on stage – with the obvious exception of Carmen. I’m always worried about the singer’s voices.
