Default Jet engine in a Cig back in late 70' early 80's

I was talking to someone today and he said he was the first to put a jet engine in a Cig. Says he used to race offshore.
Just wondering if he was pulling my leg.

Thanks

A friend of mine put turbines in a cigarette for some guy in the early eighties, I'd have to ask him how he was or where he was from.
