If my science class service me correctly:
Each substance has an temperature at which it will burn without a source a fuel being present. The tobacco in the cigarette still has moisture in it and with out the lighter present it will only smolder. This is where you get the smoke from the cigarette. Truly dry tobacco will burn much faster. The temperature of the cigarette is lower than the temp at which the tobacco will catch fire.
If this is for an assignment then someone needs to check me on this.

There's moisture in the tobacco, and arsenic in the paper wrapper to retard burning. Yum.
