Dude
Take a lung full of smoke and weigh yourself.
Then exhale and weigh yourself again.
Subtract the 2nd weight from the 1st.
Ahaaaaaa!
Ask a silly question...

The cigarette smoke will comprise mostly particulates with gasses and vapors.
Place the cigarette on a wire screen and weigh both together. Light the cigarette and let it burn-down completely. Weigh the screen with the ash that remains. Subtract the two weights. Add back about 15% to that difference to estimate the weight of oxygen combined out of the air used in the combustion.

Possibly,
Place lit cigarette in holder in a extracted bell jar. Inlet to jar run through filters/water traps to remove particulates from air.
Extracted fumes either collected on a filter and then weighed or passed through water/solvent trap, this liquid evaporated at end to find residue weight. repeat to consistent results.

Smoke is lighter than air... so I guess it depends on how fast the smoke rises in a controlled environment where there is no wind.
