You can’t really tell in post #2565668, but it’s plain in this image- Thompson isn’t smoking. She’s holding pocky in her mouth. Also the translation for the artist notes in the next page verifies it’s pocky.

Well, it's a Chinese game, and you can't depict smoking in China. Usually if it looks like a character has a cigarette in their mouth, which is probably intentional, it's actually pocky or something similar. Texas is another character with this trait, and in her case it's way too obvious that it's actually supposed to be a cigarette because she's holding it like one.
