Nah, not overkill. The tip of a cig can reach somethig close to 500 degrees C, without taking a drag on it. A long drag causes the tip to form a cone, reaching a temp of up to 1000 degrees c, hot enough to melt through the hoses and ignite the fumes

That system had to have been triggered manually. There's no way a single cigarette would trigger that. Funny to trigger though lol

That's a lot of foam for one cigarette, should have used a bucket of water, definitely overkill.
